- With the recommendations of members on this forum, I was able to put an elastomeric roof coating on the roof. Tested tonight, no leaks yet!
- Very nice!
- Got some more done on the exterior paint.
- Amazing! You did an excellent job!
- Nice work!!! Thanks for sharing.
- Finished the curbside, and re-installed the rock guard. Taking it camping this weekend.
- Super Nice! Excellent choice of color - vintage to go with the style.
- Started doing some painting, tried to get more done today, but it looks like it could rain any minute. I'm VERY happy with my color choices.
I also dressed up the ugly old rock shield for the front window
- Good to know. Thanks!

Great work! Is there a sealer or polish to put on the metal to keep it from getting dull?
The compound I use has carnuba wax that holds the abrasives, it lasts quite awhile. A coat or wax a few times a year or just re polishing once a year works pretty well. I use the same thing on the wheels of my truck and only have to do it once a year.
