Hey guys and girls, I am going to try and keep this short as possible, so here's my situation. I am a 22 year old college graduate and just left the life insurance business (first job out of school). I wasn't making much money on straight commission and the economy didn't help either so I...

Hey guys and girls, I used to post here a good bit ago in high school when I was literally obsessed with keeping my Maxima in tip top shape and detailing became one of my passions. I went off to college and got away from detailing, but now graduated and I'm ready to jump in again. Here's...

I just got my Xterra this past December when we traded in the old school Maxima. I have to say that I'm happy with the upgrade. Anyway, down to the nitty gritty. For the first detail I just a light polish and finished with a sealant, nothing intense. -Wash with Meg's DC -Spot clayed with...

Well, I got a PC for my 19th birthday and I am loving it! I picked up some Poorboy's products and got to work. Anyway, here's the good stuff: Wash Clay (mother's) SSR 2.5 w/ Orange Sonus pad SSR 1 w/ Green Sonus pad EGP by hand Wash (had to park outside and it rained :down) Topped with...

Whats going on guys? I have been lurking on the forums for a little while now and what a great detailing resource it is! I've achieved the best results I can by hand so I'm getting a PC for my birthday, which is coming up in a few days. I just had a few newb questions... -Is the difference...

Whats going on guys? I detailed my dad's lexus literally the second day after I got back from taking my finals :p. It hadn't been washed in awhile and with all the dreaded pollen in GA, it needed a good cleaning. Anyway, I'd thought I share the results with yall.... Wash Meg's #26 (love this...

I decided to do my dad's lexus since it hadn't been washed in about 6 months :eek:. Anyway, I washed with AA, Mother's clay, SRP, and then EGP. I washed the wheels with BC and the tires were dressed with hot shine. The car looks amazing and the hood is like a mirror. Check out the before and...

I picked up #26 (paste form) from my local NAPA and I opened it up and the wax was hard and cracked...is this normal?? It said for best use to shake it well, and if def. was not shaking. thanks for reading Ben

I detailed my maxima and my mom's volvo last week and pretty used the same steps for both. -Wash -Clay -SRP -EGP X2 After all that, there will still swirls :eek: Im assuming I need a more abbrasive polish that can be used by hand...any suggestions? thanks -Ben

I don't know which of the three to pick, except that 26 and 16 are a little cheaper than NXT. What are the differences between them? Im lookin for a wax that will protect for about 2-3 months and also give the paint a glossy and wet look. Thanks! Any help is appreciated...:D -Ben

I detailed my mom's 850 today and plan on doing my maxima around Monday. I had to try out the "twins" and the Volvo was pretty dirty and had some cobwebs. Anyway, I am very pleased with both SRP and EGP: both were an easy on/easy off. I let the the EGP sit for about 45 minutes for both coats...

I will be "winterizing" my maxima within a few days and I need a topper for EGP. I plan on buying it at Pep Boys, since Im getting a clay bar kit tomorrow. I was thinking about #26, but I read somewhere not to use #16 since it contains polymers...:confused: Also, I was wondering does anyone know...

Well, I polished my Maxima for the first time in 11 years and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. The paint hasn't looked this good since my dad bought back in 93'. Plus, the polish removed a lot of the hairline scratches all over the car. Polishing by hand was a pain in the neck, but...
