Wish me luck. Gonna be a long day.
ETA: Alright, all done. The pics don't do much justice. The Mothers Cone was full of win. It took dull, bland chrome and made it gleam like glass. Fairly durable and fits in almost any corner or crevice of any shape. I used to Mother Chrome polish and it made a noticeable difference. Overall, it took me about 5 hours, but It looks like a completely different car. I'm in love with it all over again.
BEFORE 
AFTER 
Wax applied. I used McGuire's Paste wax. Supposed to be pretty good stuff. I thought it did great. Again, the pics do no justice. Easy on, fairly easy off. I didn't wait long enough for the wax to be completely dry so it gummed up my buffer bonnet. The good news is Wally doesn't sell or didn't have any replacements. So I will go back and give it a polish with a new one as soon as I find one. 
And all done. Some finished pics. 
Something for you GET OFF MY LAWN types.

The before pics of the wheel looked better. hah! i am glad i am not the only one...actually, i couldn't tell much difference in the two. I'm telling you that the pics make it look funky.
I think part of the problem is the second set where they look hazy is cause the camera auto flash came on. |

Looks good. Lots of work I know...... but I have one word for you............. ZAINO
I used it on my truck and the wife's Yukon (both white) about 2yr ago and they both look great after a wash. BLEW ME AWAY. It was a lot of work, but they looked incredible after and still look really good. Makes the paint feel as soft and smooth as a baby's butt with lotion on it. My neighbor done her black Vette and it looks amazing. ....... |
