My car needs love BAD

Most people think it looks clean, but they don't know what clean is.  You do.

Thank you Sean. The wheels were a bit of work to get polished. I will be getting 2 inch heads to make wheels a bit easier. 

Next car may be done tonight. A red ford escape. First red car for me.

[nem 2,019]

The reflections on this one are the best so far. The vehicle was luxcared in 2016. I am not sure it that is why, but after the first polish I was impressed, I did another pass and wow.

First red car. I was surprised how many scratches were in this car. Under normal lighting you don't see them, but as soon as you put the light on a panel look out. Complete paint correction was needed. This is a surprise for my MIL, she has no idea I have her car.

Do a search for mobile wheel refinishing.  They come to you and are done in a couple hours.  Powder coat is totally unnecessary unless you are in the harshest of environments.  A professional will have the proper paint and equipment to have you up and running in a couple hours and with the right materials.  It's especially handy if you have tires mounted on them.  They just break the bead and paint.  You don't have to worry about tire removal and installation fees, re-balancing, TPMS removal, etc. . .

$100 is not a bad price either.  Paint prices have doubled in the past few years, and materials and overhead add into that.

They actually don't have tires mounted on them yet.I will see what I can find.

Actually volunteered today at a state park Old Stone Fort..Some little punk kids spray painted some graffiti on some rocks down at one of the falls.I told the park ranger I only have one request..If they ever catch the ones doing it they have to let me have 10 minutes alone with them..They laughed..

Tuesday I am building them some walk ways out of telephone poles and 1x6's for the nature trail to replace the ones that are rotted.Home Depot is delivering the wood tomorrow.

You would trip out if you read some of the research they have done to really make this happen,and the 100's of Millon's of dollars they are spending.And I am not talking stuff like Star Trek or Back to the Future fiction garbage I am talking real scientists for the government,quantum physics specialist.. It is crazy man.
