Default Ran out of bits to polish

Took the car to work today (nice weather ) and gave it a good coat of honey wax.

This stuff.



Its technically a mold release compound used in fibreglass molds and oven baked casings. I worked in a laminating shop years ago and tried it on my Sierra Cosworth out of curiosity. The finish is amazing and easily as good as any car related product and several coats builds up a nice hard shell.
Anyways. Polished the alloys first then the the whole car



then I started on silly stuff. I`m going to autosol the exhaust tomorrow. Nice shiny pipes. Seriously.



Check it out. I have the same plate on my `company car`



I could polish that . . . :-?

Is that an Ottawa, do you work at the port pulling containers to and from the crane? I always thought that would be a cool job. What port do you work at?

The car is lookin' GOOD

It looks good. I have to admit, I woud have been a little nervous using a wax that wasn't meant for automotive use.

Bubba I started another `what do you do for a living thread` .

As far a the wax goes, I tried it on a shitty car years ago before my Cosworth. Its good stuff. Puts a nice hard shell on for winter.(not that my car goes out in winter much).
