60+ year old thread.

Found the post, didn't go back far enough. Ken had mentioned the Benjamin Moore paint.

morning boys. Waiting on the car. Getting the oil changed. Happy Saturday. Really hate typing on my phone

 

Good Morning

 

Good morning back at ya Rob. Detailing our car today. I hope I am up to the task. Took a little break after washing it. Going to take a few before pics for another forum and then some after pics. Trying out a new all in one polish sealant. Hope it works well. My wife is tough on car finishes.

For Rob and of course Susan.

Today I finally blocked off time to clean the exterior of our Bonneville. My friend, Ryan, has been telling me about HD Speed. This is my first detail with an All In One, AIO, product. I was very impressed with the ease of use and the correction performed with one pass on a car body panel. I have a couple of before and after pics, passenger side front hood and drivers side mirror, as well as some finished pics. The wheels were a challenge as well. They were a mess. For the body I used a Rupes polisher with a blue microfiber pad. The speed was set on 5. The wheels and tires I used DuPont chrome cleaner followed up with DP Wheel glaze, the tires I used Zaino Z-16. Total time invested was just under 5 hours if you count the wash time. Tomorrow I will do the interior. We are off to Michigan later next week and I wanted the Bonneville to look its best. Not bad for an 11 year old car with 140 thousand miles on it.

 

Very nice
For the truck I used wax
The bumpers wax
The tires wax
Rims wax
Glass wax.
It said wax on the can..

 

Happy Birthday to the Coast Guard today.

 

Wow! That's impressive Tom. The product is "HD Speed?" I might need to look into that, thank you. Bonneville looks great!

 

THX Rob I was a little tired this morning but after my vitamins and 2 cups of coffee I am ready to go. Cleaning the interior will be easy. I did a decent interior clean 2 weeks ago.

I now want to do the Tacoma. Maybe on Monday.

 

OK....I gotta admit....I'm not 60 (yet). I turn 58 day after tomorrow. I'm just sort of "scouting the competition" for a couple years down the road. I have to say, looks like being 60 MIGHT just be kinda fun! Y'all got it goin' on!

 

Morning all:
58 is close enough, pull up a chair on the porch and fill up the coolers! Welcome!

Car looks good Tom!
Funny, when we went hunting Maine I would have the truck totally cleaned up for the trip. When we got back it was a total mess!

Another beautiful sunset, can't beat mother nature.

After watching the video of the scooter in the snow I may have to get one for ice fishing. I can't believe that it can go that well on snow covered ice.

 

My old friend & neighbor had stroke #2 last night.
The Dr. only gives him a week or so.
The last WW2 Vet. I know. Saw alot of my F.I.L. & Dad in him.
We are all so much poorer without these folks around. Say a few nice words for Glen if you can. I would appreciate it. Thanks

 

Morning everyone. I agree .... 58 is close enough .... welcome!

Turning 65 next Sunday. I've learned over the past 4-6 weeks what a ROYAL PITA it is to arrange for pension, medicare, medicare supplemental, medicare part D, social security, etc.. I'm never going to turn 65 again !!

Alrighty! There's something truly wonderful about being the youngster in the crowd!

 

Sorry to hear about your friend and neighbor; unfortunate!
