Cleaned and Detailed.... few other things.... lots of pics
I decided to detail the truck. Its been along time since its been done. I kinda slacked on the detail. I only washed, compounded, and then sealed. I would usually clay and do a dawn wash to strip the previous wax but I didn't have time. Figured id do it next time. I took the bedliner out and put a mat in there also took the pinstripe off
here is with the liner in and pinstripe
all taped up after washing. There is still somewhat a layer of wax so it still has a semi shine to it.
All done a day after wards and after being in a light rain. I forgot to take pictures when i got finished. These pictures really don't do it justice. The paint looks a lot deeper and glossy in person.
Heres 2 of my full details
04 acura tsx
Before
After
91 Acura Integra
Only before pic I have (took right after I handed the guy the money for the car)
After (wheels and suspension also)
Comments welcome!

yeah thats pretty cheap.. I charge $75 for a wash, and $130 for cars and rangers everyone else gets the $175depending on condition... most Ive ever charged was $225 for a honda ridgeline... the guy took it "off road" I laughed and gave him the estimate and he paid it in cash on the spot.
but those look good from the pics

Sawzall cut about a foot from the tip should do the trick quite nicely! I still need to get under my own truck and grind off the ends to make it a bit more even past my muffler area *doh*

isnt it stainless? i'd just sand it with some 600,800,1000,1500,2000 then polish it. youd even get a shine out of it when you get all the crud off. then if you still dont like it, cut it off

Bumper Sticker
Yeah I know all about polishing. I polished the wheels on the red integra. Took me a month but they all came out like mirrors. When i started they were flat black. I think im a just cut it off.
Yeah, my dads a cop. That sticker has got me out of a hand full of tickets. He puts them on all of my cars.
haha, i got rid of the car a while back. Got tired of slowing down for railroad tracks and every little bump. That car loved speed bumps....
lol, I dont like people that I dont know touching my cars too. Post some pictures when you get it detailed.....
