(especially the trunk area) and re-align the rear pan and bumper. trouble shoot by lights because they got the blinker/flasher sequence all crazy.. and to mount the front park lights that go in the grill.. and i told him to buff out the over spray that I can feel on my window's.. I told him that I am afraid that I put armor all on my dash, sun visors and, seat's..and i think its going to loose it's wet black shinny look, and turn to that faded white, old crackly look we often see. so I think I should scrub it with some kind of cleaner and then condition it with something new? he suggested maybe spraying the vinyl surface's with clear in order to lock in that wet look?
suggestion's welcome ?? ? Im waiting to see that tv commercial where the guy rub's this stuff on the plastic bumper of his truck, and the surface got moist and shinny and stayed that way for a long time! nu-vinyl? anyway I picked up the car yesterday. and i swear the car look's worse than it did the last time I picked it up from him.. The whole body is kind of dirty, I can see swirls in the trunk area that originally pointed out in the first place, and when I run my hand over the body, (especially the door's) I can feel the coarse gritty surface of OVER SPRAY or ORANGE PEAL! Last week the windows was coarse and the doors smooth, and now my window's are smooth and the doors are coarse! He did even out the bumper/pan.. put some black paint on my frame where it had caught some of the green over spray.. and he mounted the grill lights..I cant get the side marker/caprice lights to work? I changed fuse's bulbs ect.. now I got to hit an electrical shop.. and hope I dont need a harness! But anyway I told painter that this is not acceptable, (i cant believe he thought it was okay) I told him, : dude people are going to be going over this car, over painters are going to be checking out your work! Is this how you want to represent yourself? and me? I made him rub his hand over his own work, (maybe it was not his work) so he could feel the fuckin sandpapery grit texture of the surface of my car! And yea he felt it. and he apologized and said that he would take my car back next week and devote 2 whole days go get my shit right.. he said he felt bad. Im like:: dont feel bad, get my shit shinny and smooth, with no clear runs and be proud of your work: so now i gonna take my car back to this dude on Monday the 20th..I told him for now, I kind of dont even want to wash the car until I take it back.. but the best way to know what part of your cars body flawed? is by running your rag over it.. I have to take pic's at a friends prom/grad party this after noon.. I thought i would devote this evening to treating the seats and dash board.. I have the fuckin little whole right on the edge/bottom of my convertible top, it's about the size of a dime, but its right on the edge in the rear corner of the top..(like the bottom of the back windshield) it not visible to any passer buy, but It will differently catch water in that whole when ever I scrub,wash,treat the vert top.. maybe its a drain hole on purpose?
