Cape Cod Cloths, Generosity, and JJ's Worst Nightmare...

So instead of 3 threads, I'll just create one.
So 1: Cape Cod Works very good, before I polished my Explorer with Brasso, and it left all the swirlies. Well now they are gone, and the finish is amazing! Best $3 ever spent.

2: The generosity of TRF is amazing. First I got pledged this week by an anonymous donor (please tell me if you are reading this), and then JimSnyder sent me a fabulous Nato to put on my Explorer! I want to give a big thanks to whoever pledged me and to JimSnyder, you both are awesome!

3: Now comes my favorite part. The pictures explain themselves. Sorry JJ, but I'm part of Nylon Nation now.




Pictures don't do justice, looks much better in real life!

There's no other source of natural light in my apartment so the window will have to do.

An official welcome for the newest citizen of The Nylon Nation.
Jim Snyder is a perfect example of what the Nation is all about.

Very nice Kyle, how about posting some before and after pics with using the Cape Cod Cloth(?). I've heard a lot of good things about them but would like to see how they actually perform.

Kyle,

Always a pleasure reading your posts and viewing your amazing photography. I think your Explorer looks stunning on the nato (sorry JJ).

I was wondering the same thing. Before and after pics would be great.

The EX does look good on a NATO,
but JJ stated on another thread,
"No date, no cyclops, to small, no Rolex."
Bad JJ!
