Products Used, Reviews and TIPS!!
I would like to take this free time that i have right now to post some pictures of some of the products i use and tell you a little bit about them, and some but not all of the companies that i go to just about everyday to make this project possible.
the links below are to somebut once again not all of the companies that i have been visiting just about everyday! CHECK them out, you might find something you like !!
and now below, i am goingto list a few products that i use to make my car one of a kind and tell you a little bit about them. Keep in mind these are not the only products i use on my car, just some of my favorites.
1. 3m super 77 multi purpose adhesive I would really reccomend this glue, its great for upholstery work or anything that you need to have glued down, it has a strong bond and is easy to apply and clean up, i have used this glue for all of my interior work that has been done so far.
2. Dupli-Color CHROME paint
Dupli-Color CHROME paint is a very reflective interior or exterior use type paint, i have used this product for painting some of my interior pieces. It is reccomended that you clean your pieces with soap and water before you try painting them, first i would prime them with your choice of primer but i like to use the same brand of primer. You will also want to lightly sand the pieces before priming or painting.
3. Black magic car care products I like to use black magic car care for the interior and exterior of my vehicle, they offer a line of many products that do an excellent job, for starters i would use black magics Pro Shine interior protectant, you can use this product on just about any interior piece but cloth, leather or glass, it is ideal for dashes and such. I also like to use their tire shine product which is simply called, Tire Wet..it gives your tires a deep glossy black shine, spray and go formula with no wiping.
4. Turtle Wax products im not really a big fan of any turtle wax products but i saw this on the shelf at my local O Reillys and decided i would give it a shot, after all it was the most expensive car wash they had at the time. I really liked the shine after washing my car with the ICe. Try it out sometime. not much more i can say about car wash, but...try it..lol
5. Permatex No Touch Seriously Wet Tire Shine This is one of my favorite products that i use nearly every day. No Touch Seriously went tire shine can be picked up at your local O Reilly Auto Parts store. After washing your vehicle and all of your tires are completely dry i like to spray this onto my tires to give them that wet show room floor look that you see at the dealers. All you simply have to do is spray and go, there is no wiping or a dripping mess. Permatex No Touch seriously wet is the Serious tire shine for serious car enthusiasts. Sprays on wetter for an exceptionally long-lasting ultra high gloss "wet" finish. Utilizes 100% active shine ingredients. Protects tires from UV and ozone damage. I have also found out through experimenting that this product is also good for exterior trim pieces, thats right TRIM PIECES!!! All you have to do is spray a little bit on your favorite rag or cloth and wipe down anything from the engine compartment to the side mirrors to the window moulding, i do not reccoment getting this on your paint its a bit hard to get off afterwards. TRY IT !!
well thats all that i can think of off the top of my head, so when i get to using some more i will post up some more pics and info on the product used...thank you
well hello and welcome to my blog.
Here you will find some information on what is going on with my Chevy Cavalier, i have been doing most of the work to it myself with a little help from some friends.
There will be step by step tutorials on how to's/progress and pics up soon.
My name is Nathan i start school for auto body repair in January at our local college, as of right now i am working on rebuilding my cavalier up to show quality. I plan on showing this car when it is complete. A lot of hard work, money, time and patience has gone into my vehicle and i believe to think that it is coming along pretty well.
