Must be summer, busy here
it's not hard to make, but since i dont want faux labels circulating
with all due respect to Prima, i rather not make any other than for personal
use. hope you understand.
my wife's a crafts kinda person so she has all sorts of label making tools...
even made a couple of griot's labels to use on my tool cases, etc.
i hope Prima offers these labels in all sorts of sizes in the near future though!

lol yah, they do look pretty real in person. 
i just made that thing using Excel.
the smaller size bottles are definitely great for portability. for
intense use the larger bottle is much more convenient. i dont
have to fill the bottle as much, i can tilt the vac tube in an angle
in the same side of the spray nozzle so that i dont get any air gaps
while spraying (sometimes very annoying on the prima bottles),
wont shatter upon dropping.

Just motored the Vets Cabrio over here, man that car has been rode hard and put away wet a few times. It's black with yellow painted on strips, all very swirly, this is going to take some work. I'll post pics as I go.
Nice labels Ken, but that bottle would be to big for my pudgy short fingers

I did, and will during the whole process. Just Dawn washed it, from what I can tell there is no wax on it, may have never been any. Lots of swirls and surface contaminates, so claying is going to take a while.
Ken I can see that the neck of the bottle is not that big
, so my pudgy fingers could probably handle it.Mark

actually the griot's bottles are, i think, even fatter and shorter.
those zep bottles are 32oz, where as griot's is 35oz and appears
shorter.
talking of griots, they now send out tracking info via email!
woohoo~! welcome to the late 90's...
got a few stuff coming in... gallon of carwash, gallon of SprayOn wax,
gallon of SpeedShine, some other gallons of something, and something
else. i cant remember wat i ordered by it's all good stuff.

Well I got side tracked, new laptop arrived. So the Cabrio got put on hold till tomorrow while I get this laptop running.
Here are some pics from today though, if this works
I'm no compucker wiz
As I was washing I could feel grit through the mitt, not good, but after claying the surface, it feels and looks better.
These pics are post wash, pre clay. I'll do more tomorrow, for now getting this laptop set up is my focus
Not bad looking up till now, but here are the swirls, the surface containments don't really show, but there is a haze on the paint.
Well lets see if this works.

My plan is to go easy. I think Swirl with a white pad to start, then work from there, both more and less aggressive. The paint on the arches scare me, so I may just Amigo them, it is real soft.
