Well, we took these pics not 60 minutes from the time we finished washing. My VX does look good when clean, from about 6 feet away. If you look closesly though, my paint is FUBAR. I have a lot of chips and dings all over, and loads of tree rash. Last time I went wheeling (a few weeks ago) the trail had a lot of slushy/muddy spots. I was on this hill that came to an abrupt stop where I couldn't go any further. The trail was tight to begin with (probably a quad trail) and when I tried to back down my rear end just slid and before I knew it the whole driver's side was under a pine tree with low hanging branches. It was ugly. Getting outta that put some monster slashes on my hood and front fender. But, that's what happens when you wheel so...

Speed Thrills, Boredom Kills!!
First... cool images, fun photoshoot...Your VX looks very clean... even if it is a 5 foot paintjob. I also didn't know you guys (or Lisa Rather) had a Porsche... Nice!

Can you explain to me what Lisa does with the dolls? Where they come from, does she paint them, create the outfits? etc.? Or can you buy these dolls off the shelf?? I'm confused.
They're pretty awesome! Some of the images remind me very much of the art of Mark Ryden. Let her know I'm very impressed. (both with the photography, and the dolls themselves) They almost look like high polygon 3D models in the photographs.
Nope!! I just clean it and use Trim Shine.

Wow,if that's what Trim Shine does, I'm out the door right now to get some! I already called Checker and they have 3 cans....I'm going to buy all 3! ;oop; You suggested it to me a few days ago when I was moaning about my pinstripes/road rash, but I hadn't gotten to my trim yet.

Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
Yeah, I have heard some people say that Trim Shine does nothing to restore badly faded cladding. But for me, it has worked very well over the years as you can see. My cladding was never faded to begin with and has always retained it's normal dark color. I wash my VX regularly, and everytime I hand wash I apply Trim Shine. I spray all the cladding good, and then lightly go over it all again with a clean, soft rag to pick up any drips. I think that Trim Shine not only makes the cladding look sharp, it also protects it from fading. I probably get 3-5 applications out of every can, so stock up!! We have lots of plastic to keep pretty!!
