First use of my PC
if you are gonna do it, why not really do it. Did my parents navigator as my first detail w/ my PC. Just did the paint, didn't do any trim or anything as it was 90+ today. Started at 6:30 A.M.
used DACP followed by #80 Speed Glaze both w/ polishing pads, then used NXT w/ a Finishing pad.
results weren't as good as I expected, I wanted more reflection, but the car is about 5 years old and had never been waxed to my knowledge ( i do all the waxing for the family cars and hadn't ever done this)
I need to work on my picture taking skills
look at all the dirt the PC shook out
and then washed these 2
and had some little visitors watching my every move the whole day

w/ an invertor I'm sure it's possible. I've heard people do this. I'm not fully mobile, I still require a hose and outlet.
