Corey: The 12 year old :pig: still looks great.

I'm glad to see that it and you have got 'skillz and game' and are still pullin' in the ladies.

Nice vid's too! It really adds to this Forum to have those types of enhancements on the posts so we can see as well as read what you have done. Here's a Zen question for the day, if a picture speaks a thousand words, how many words does a video speak??

Now, I got to go and drive my Runner to blow the pollen off it too !!!

Thanks Jalaber, Loosehead.

Thanks David, just trying to make the most out the "multimedia" aspect of the web.

Now there's a word you don't hear to often anymore.
Back when I bought my fist PC that was 'Net capable @ Xmas of '94, the word "multimedia" was used by all the PC makers to lure you into buying one whether for going online, or for the sounds & vids it could play.

Ahhh, the old P90 days

I could have got better vids if my son was here the other day.
Kind of hard to shoot and buff at the same time.

Looks good as usual Corey. I just need to get all the wax and accessories together to go with my new PC I got for Christmas.
Thanks for your help off-line on the wax as well as your site.

The paint on my 2000 is in really bad shape and needs my help. It feels rough when I run my hands across it. From the oxidation I guess. Not to mention all the deep wheelin' scratches.

Hopefully I can turn it around and make it shine like yours.

After you rinse the soap off your vehicle, take the spray nozzle off, turn your pressure (faucet) down to about half-way (it's what I do) and just let the water rinse over the vehicle from top to bottom. If you spray it water droplets end up all over the surface. This way it is a steady flow of water, instead of spray, that washes over the vehicle. Usually leaves less water to dry off the vehicle.

Make sense? I feel I am doing a bad job explaining this.

Corey...a little help here!

Thanks Jade, with a little work I'm sure you can turn your rigs paint around to look better than new.
Like I mentioned to you earlier, I think talking wax with you last week motivated me to get it done this weekend.
perfect timing as the weather was great.

Thanks Chris, yours is looking pretty good there.

A lot of our rigs see trail use, but there is nothing wrong in taking pride in the care of the paint.
More $$$ at trade in time, and it gives you a good feeling when people notice the care you put into a rig.
Not to mention that some say they need shades on just to look at your rig when it's nice out :beach:

Bighead, you hit the nozzle on the snozzle
I use to do that years ago, but here at my complex the management doesn't like to see an open hose running.

But since I started in so early yesterday, the manager was in bed still, so what the hay?
I unscrewed the nozzle right there and got my legs soaked, but I was already a bit wet.
Running the hose with the nozzle off makes all the water just about disappear when you rinse instead of leaving behind all those little bubbles and droplets.
Gadget had brought that up last week, and from now on I will be doing it, as long as the manager can't see me

I still need to try applying Zainos with the Corey Cable.

Beautiful looking Runner Corey!!

It's hard to believe that it's 12 yrs old seeing those pictures.
