Squirrel 007 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Oh yeah, this law came in affect I believe two or three years ago and let me tell you...don't get into an accident with 4 season or summer tires 'cause this will not only buy you a hefty fine but will also give your insurance company reasons not to pay. They are now taking this business quite serious. I'm actually waiting on some new snow tires and Rims I order at Discount Tire Direct for my little Bimmer X1. UPS tells me they are held back at customs for clearance as of this morning. They better get here before the 15th! These laws are crazy. The next thing you know they will pass a law in the US saying we can't use incandescent bulbs, oh wait, the idiots already did it! The states are supposed to be automonous and regulate themselves and the Federal Government is supposed to be here to form a national defence of the combined states. They should not be involved in their toilets and light bulbs and the old "National Speed Limit' of 55 MPH. Sorry about going off topic, I hate stupid laws!

Do you think the Canadian health care system may have had anything to do with this new law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusty Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Do you think the Canadian health care system may have had anything to do with this new law? Could be linked to health care. Less serious winter car injuries, less money the province has to pour out of the health care system and maybe more in the polititians pockets!

jerseygator Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Time for some pics... Last night I finished it up. Approx 20 hrs of labor went into this detail. Dave and I smoked a celebratory cigar! Washing it inside Dave's fantastic garage! Please pardon the quality of the first few pics. They were taken with my iPhone. Through in a 2013 BMW M5 (My brother-in-law) while we had the hose out. On the lift ready to clay A little promo for Adams! Interior shot... Post clay... And tapped with 3M automotive tape. Swirls on a brand new car! After correction using Adams Swirl and Haze Remover Polish and Fine Machine polish... On the lift with Adams Machine Super Sealant on it curing... After 2 coats of Sealant and 2 coats of Souveran Wax! The next victim is in the reflection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseygator Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hey Master Gator Adams Crash Baitor, great job. :happy feet: Curious, is the car red or orange? I think I need to trade some photography lessons for detailing lessons. Race Red... Yes you do... My pics are horrible! I can't wait for a nice sunny day to take it outside. Maybe they will look nicer. The pics I posted didn't do the car justice. Dave is thrilled and it is like night and day. Even his wife agreed.

Exceptional! ...all of the these? Adimittedly, I was horrified at the surface scratches on this spanking new car! How the F*ck does this happen? Like it was polished with a dirt rag!

Top Honors, my friend! I don't think Mr. Adams himself can out-detail your craft! Thanks Rob... It was absolutely mystifying to see the amount of imperfections on a car with only 20 miles on it and not a day at the dealer. And I didn't for get your question on the leather. My answer is use Griot's Leather Care. It was much better than Adams Leather Conditioner. Nicer leather smell and better properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave 316 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 to those who dont know, 250 assembly line photo's, all build sheets, and we know exactly where this car was at all times. watched it come off the transporter, and took it home un-prepped. the paint was scratched like it had sat in a yard for months, and ran through a automated car wash. we both said, if the dealer had prepped it, we would have assumed they scratched it up. now it looks like wet red paint. breath taking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel 007 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 My dealer prepped my car and delivered it to my house. This is the car in the driveway moments after it was delivered. There are no swirls or scratches in the paint according to my wife. She said it has a mirror finish and as you can see there is the reflection of my truck in the car along with the reflections of trees in my yard. It looks immaculate. No complaints about my paint job at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
