ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    make the paint look better on the cheap.

    so it was a semi-warm march day today an i decided to give the ol whip a wash. my car is bordeaux red (thanks Paint guide sticky!) and i love the way it looks when the sun its it and the paint shimmers and it doesnt look like it spent 8 of its 16 years out of the garage kept state.

    my question. is there a product that will restore the paint to this luster without extensive work or a repaint? i want my car to shine 24/7!

    Claybar, Wax and Polish her. I'll see if I can find a few pics of my Bordeaux Red CB after the Claybar, Wax and Polish. Looked like fresh, still wet paint.

    Edit:

    PICS:

    ^^Hood all clean and polished...


    ^^Rear end...


    ^^Rear end again...


    TypeG can beat the hell out of that but you get the point. Later

      that all depends on what you think extensive work is.

      i'd recomend a wash, claybar, polish, sealer and glaze, and a wax. later.

        you have the wrong order of steps. wax is always last. later.
