  1. I don't know the C5 platform, but if possible, I'd simply remove the door moldings. http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Fun/5_zpsxtenxvfg.jpg
  2. Here are 3 variations. Personally, I don't like any of them. http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Fun/1_zps3aqtf5wg.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Fun/3_zps2uysy1ap.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Fun/2_zpsd8dptsfh.jpg
  3. Sure. However the products may vary depending on the make of vehicle as I've found specific products that match up well for specific makes and paint. It also depends if I'm using a Coating, Wax or a Sealant. Happy to answer any questions regarding others/alternatives.

  4. Even the Senate's new crybaby Chuch Schumer supported moratoriums on immigration. http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/260471-schumer-refugee-pause-may-be-necessary
  5. I think most here know this. I can't recall seeing anyone here arguing those points. Thankfully Clinton isn't in office to continue the tradition. Oh wait today....we just topple gov'ts and let the radicals take over vs installing our puppets. Agree to a point. In the end, they don't need any further recruiting tools and IMO it doesn't matter if what they use is actually true or not, those that easily convert will believe anything and most of the ones considering radical ways hate us enough for whatever reason they choose to believe or is pounded in their head. The nut-jobs don't like our way of life and have been out to kill us for years. How has he condemned all Muslims? You really think all innocent ones don't understand the moratoriums in place? They know what we're up against and that the bad guys mix in with the good guys. They see it first hand. Give them a little credit already. They know what's going on and while they might not want to see what's happening in place the smart ones know why it is. They see it in Europe and elsewhere where the bad guys are blending in. Call it what you want, there's plenty of room and ability to set up safe zones for the refugees over there. Time all the other Muslim Nations show us they give a damn about their fellow Muslims. Kinda hard for them to argue with us about what we're doing if they aren't willing to lead by example. In the end, no one marched when Obama put a 6mo ban in place for Iraq a few years back, I also didn't see any marchers when he changed the rules on Cubans recently.
  6. we don't have the money or systems in place to take care of our own people. kinda reminds me of a crazy cat lady with a big heart.
  7. PM Me your email addy or email me at pdqgp@yahoo.com so that I can send you the various packages, options, etc. We can always customize something where needed. $300-600 is the range.
  8. the ones detained weren't the target, they were just the 1% caught up in the aftermath. as noted, they are quickly being flushed though. the order still holds though. Save
  9. still waiting for the E.O. that she's he's banning a "certain group" that's as bad of the statements coming from the press. are those big bad terrorists and nations that support them all mad now and about to thow a hissy fit.....good. last I checked there is no such thing as a "bigger target" when they are burning people and killing our troops. Any Americans outside military in those 7 countries are stupid to begin with. They hate us anyway. Time for the world to realize that our country isn't an open door to those that don't like us.
  10. Beautiful shots. Color of the car matches the warmth of the shots and background nicely.
  11. ^^ this. Our van has not been cleaned for going on 3 weeks with multiple days of rain and mud tossed up on it and it still looks cleaner than 99% of the cars out there. Dirt sticks yes, but barely thus it comes off with even the lightest touch resulting in near zero issues scratching or marring the paint. Thank you sirs! I treat them all like they are my own because for 24hrs they are This particular black looks stunning cleaned up. Save
  12. Just a basic camera we keep around the house for all to use. Panasonic FZ-1000 IIRC. The light is just a dual LED folding work light. Magnetic too. Pretty nice. My kids got it as a stocking stuffer for me a couple years back. Works pretty good as a swirl finder on dark colors.
  13. I'm old but I have few years left in me Turned out well though. You'd think I repainted it. I call the results Liquid Black. I love the paint on these newer Chryslers and Jeeps products. Ben's wife had that Jeep G.C. and now with this 300, I'm really loving the depth of the color and damn that clear is tough and deep looking. Steve is off having fun so I'm keeping it for another night and letting things cure. This has Ceramic Coating on the wheels, paint and glass. Full-package on this one. Hopefully Sunday will be nice and I can get some real pics of it. Give me some partly sunny skies!! Here's what I have though. Thanks again Steve, I can't wait for you to see the difference in person. It's looking bad-ass IMO. bye-bye former rental car and hello show car AFTER PICS: http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/PDQS4/library/Some%20of%20the%20vehicles%20I%20have%20detailed/2016%20Chrysler%20300%20AWD?sort=3&page=1 Save
  14. Yep. 3 step process. Mild compound, polish, seal. 1/3 done so far. Looking 98%+
  15. Steve aka Killjoy picked up a sweet luxury cruiser from who else......Jordan! Loaded with pano roof, leather, AWD, Nav, and a metric ton of other goodies including SWIRLS courtesy of improper washing in tunnel based systems on a regular basis :doh: No worries as I'm off to spend the day bringing this beast back to life. As noted on Ben's Jeep, this import from Detroit has fantastic paint/clear coat. It's a real PIA to correct but it is durable and it's depth can easily be seen when corrected. I've already done the Hood and Trunk with great success. Will be ceramic coating the paint, windows and wheel faces. Stay tuned for updates! In the mean time, here's the starting point. It actually looks better than it really is. Hit it with some lighting though and the swirls jump out at you. Unfortunately part of the drill when owning a pure black car. Good news is that it really stands out once corrected. Here's a link to all the pics: http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/PDQS4/library/Some%20of%20the%20vehicles%20I%20have%20detailed/2016%20Chrysler%20300%20AWD?sort=3&page=1 Save
  16. That makes sense. They keep pushing the SC Whine in the videos too.
  17. ^^ I'd buy that for my wife for sure. We'll be getting rid of the battle van soon and a drop top is in the stars. Save
  18. ^^ that's still not instilling much confidence. Just my opinion.
  19. Agree. I love the versatility of Wolfgang Uber. It works great as a detail spray that protects the vehicle on a weekly / or wash basis. The difference is that it's not a long term protection product. The Wipe on Walk Away products range from 3-6 months making them an easy way to provide longer term protection and ease of use.
  20. Thanks for the kind words Adam. Glad to hear she was excited and happy to now have a like-new looking car! Some of the products we discussed that will serve you well going forward: Detail Spray as noted above Rinseless Wash - I love Wolfgang Uber Trim Care - Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant aka WETS or Chemical Guys Tire and Trim Gel. Both are very good and very simliar. Both block UV and prevent fading. I also like Adam's In and Out Spray for under the hood and the honeycomb like grill area up front. Works great on the windshield cowl area too.
  21. WOW! Looks a lot better that I expected. Never really looked at them except for my neighbors 1st gen that he loves.
