That looks amazing! Excellent job. I love it when anotha brotha helps out. Ian- if you are bored and feel like a road trip I got some paint that needs restoring and something tells me I am doing it the hard way. I can pay in beer.....

Leduc? That's like, in a whole other province, isn't it?

I jest. That would be a good road trip though.

If you or someone can manage a high speed buffer, I would gladly send you some product for the cutting part. I use PRO products and 3M.

For Jesse's cut I made a 'Special Cocktail' using 60% http://www.prowax.com/bodyshop/P-27-Q_U ... mover.html and 40% http://www.prowax.com/polishes_glazes/P ... ooter.html

I used a wool pad to do the initial cut and then switched over to foam pads. Be careful if you have not used a wool pad before you could easily burn paint.

I finished it off with four thinly applied (with an Orbital) of http://www.prowax.com/paint_sealants/P- ... alant.html

As for the final product a wax you could get is a can of Meguire's Carnuba paste wax .... Make sure it is just a wax. 100% is the best.

Next week I will apply a half dozen or so thin layers of http://www.prowax.com/waxes/W-41_Yellow_Wax_Paste.html

The next time Mr. TAR decides to latch on, he'll slip off much easier...


What colour is your Deli ?

No wonder Jesse couldn't get that road tar off - he was only using one product at a time!

Nice work guys - both the results and how you did it!

I worked at an asphalt plant for 4 months, and had fine spray of tar all over my car one day. We used baby oil to clean the stuff off our hands every day, and worked great on cleaning my car as well.

Cool. Did you mix that with elbow grease or just use it neat?

He did a bang up job. The charcoal grey is a different shade and sheen than when I saw the rig for the first time.

Hi!

A 10-1 mixture of water and kerosene will be a good way of removing road tar from your vehicle's body.

It is gentle on paint and hands and not expensive.

Glad to be of help .

I really can't believe the difference! I thought you were a teacher, not a car detailer!? How much for a full service and lesson? :)
