I just hired a 20 year veteran of motor pools...he says the only thing that'll kill a deuce is letting it sit! Man, I gotta get that paint blistering thing figured out so I can get my deuce back on the road.
RE: Shot more CARC today

Great article. Thanks. I'm re-shooting my deuce with CARC right now. I love the look and love the way it goes on. I am also covered head to toe and wear paint filters.
