eh i don't know about the nice paycheck part but it provides me with money. every now and then i get to fire up the torch and do some cutting and welding. some days i spend more time on a fork truck than anything. that parts more fun when there is snow in parking lot.

my boss is kind of a tool but every now and then i do a couple jobs quick and good and that satisfies him for a little bit.

If you used the brush they have hanging on the wall at the DIY bays. You probably did some harm to your paint.

NEVER USE THE BRUSH ON THE WALL! ITS A BAD THING IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR PAINT

but seriously. its terrible.

It could look clean but so many people use it. It never gets washed out im sure. So much dirt/dust/mud whatever just stuck up in there. I will never touch one.

Please tell me you didn't use the brush. I often times use a car wash bay but I only use the pressure washer. As sleepy said NEVER USE THE BRUSH!

99ga · 07-14-2014, 07:25 PM

Actually as much i hate using that brush wich i NEVER USE, i couldn't resist to the deal the guy gave me, he bassicly gave me unlimited time to use the carwash as long as i wanted for $5. So this was actually the first time ever using that brush, i sprayed it real good with high pressure water tho before using it, and went easy on it.
I always use high pressure soap/water only.

Eric - looks nice! Lose the gt moldings and our cars are twins.

NOBODY WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

gudge · 07-14-2014, 08:28 PM

I would like to think my paint would look different with how much work and money I have put into it.

Doesnt matter how clean your car is. That brush is filled with dirt and grime. You never know whats on it! Dont use it next time

Not bashing your paint, yours actually looks good. I didnt take care of my first vehicle half as well as you take care of yours. So I'm really impressed and your also 2 years younger than when I got my first vehicle which makes it even more impressive. Im just saying that mine has many hours of work put into it and over $200 in equipment and products spent detailing it that i hope it wasn't all for nothing and could be told separate from just a clean and waxed car.
