Blue Oval Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Some pics of the Shelby & the wife's (Holly) Procharged (wish I'd done a Kenne Bell) 2001 GT. Grabber I used the Ice wax today as you suggested. It is the best I've ever used. I thought the Ice quick detailer was good. Wow, this stuff really does make it shine. Used it on the plastic, lenses, glass, everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Looks really nice. Both cars look great. Nice crib too. Did you use it under the hood on your hoses. I have not tried that, but another member told me that it works great under the hood on all the plastic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the Ice under the hood on all the plastic and hoses. Man it made everything look deep rich black. Not shiney black...just deep rich black. This stuff is a great all around product.

Blue Oval Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 where did you get the tail light black outs!?!? I bought another pair of taillights & tinted them. I wanted to keep the originals original. I have a DuPont automotive refinish mixing system in my shop. I just made a black tinted base, and then clear coated it with the same clear that we use on cars. I can control the number of coats to get the desired amount of tint. They look darker in the pics because of the shadow. The lights show up just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Oval Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Maybe if anyone is interested in the tinted taillights, I could do a batch over the winter when most peoples cars are being stored. That way you could send them to me for a week or two. It is a lot more work than you might expect, I would have to figure out a price. In automotive refinishing there is no such thing as a speck-free environment. I have a $100k downdraft bake booth & you still get specks in the finish. That is why you have to wet-sand & buff them out. I wet-sanded & buffed my taillights & they look great, but there is a speck or two in the grooves between the sections on the taillights that I am not willing to wet-sand & buff for fear of going through the clearcoat. You have to be looking for it to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
