Hey Guys,

The sun finally broke out last sunday. From the get go, I grabed my detailing kit and worked on my pickup. 1 week rin sya hindi nahugasan.

Check out the pics.



Da hood

Close up of the hood. Notice the metallic flakes pop out from the paint



Reflection pic... the best angle I can find on a silver paint

and finally, my tools. I love how easily mothers is applied and taken out especially the cleaner wax.

Cardo: Nice job! Galing nung flakes! Ngayon ko lang naintindihan yung ibig sabihen ng popping flakes. Ehehehe.

Dehadista: Natakot akong ilabas kahapon kasi makulimlim.

ILD: I like the idea! sana payagan ako ni GF! hehehe. Sama ko na lang sya! Heheheh.

Stubby: Madali lang iremove yung SCLW basta wag masyado makapal yung lagay mo! On and off without problems ako kahapon. BTW, someone is selling CCD sa Teamrage.

Hahaha. Ganyan din ako. One other thing you learn from detailing is predicting the weather hehehe. Sometimes, pag makulimlim or if there is moist in the air(sometimes you can smell it) - you don't want to detail or take out the car. Sometimes, you have that gut feeling that it'll rain in the afternoon even if you wake up in the morning and the sun striking your face. Minsan bago ko umpisahan yun pag detail, I look at the clouds - as far awaaaaayyyyyy as I can

patopig: you ought to see flakes popping on black and red.. mesmerizing hahaha.

ILD: lupit mo, napansin mo pa yung landscaping.

cardo: you learn it along eventually.. yung tipong tumitingin ka sa langit and assessing whether its a good day to work on the car or not. ganyan din ako!

guys, any suggestions on the detailing enthusiasts' EB? where? when? yung maaraw naman... (hahaha alam niyo na kung bakit!)
