Finally got around to detailing my gf's Kia Forte this weekend. Paint was in pretty bad shape, with lots of swirls and random scratches. The driver side door and side mirror were coated with overspray from a fender-bender, courtesy of the previous owner. Process was a dawn wash, clayed with...

Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I've been around, not since the DC days. As I'm sure many of you know sometimes, life gets in the way of hobby. That said, now that I've got a garage back, I've recently got the bug again, and hope to be a more regular fixture around here...still...

Roughly a year ago, I got the PC + Poorboy's Products package from Troy here, that included SSR 1, 2, and 2.5. The last I used the SSRs was last June, and they've been in my garage ever since. Yesterday I went to break them out again, and discovered that my 2.5 is basically purple water now...

Hey guys, Had some indirect dealings with some more inconsiderate ppl today. My gf ran out to the store and realized her car (05 RSX) had been hit, or brushed along side of by a less than smooth, less than careful person. Unfortunately, I'm still at work, and don't have pics yet to share, to...

So anyone who read CharlesW's post earlier knew this was coming. Friday, gave the Z a good wash and wax after tinting the windows. Saturday went to eat and it got hit in the parking lot. Before I did anything From here, I stripped it with Dawn, clayed with meguier's clay, and hit it with...

Hey guys, this is my Mom's 09 Altima coupe. Just a simple wash and seal with the exception of 2 problem areas. Not quite a 100% correction, as most of the scratches catch a fingernail, but I did remove the majoriy, and lighten up the rest significantly. Sorry for all the pics of what is...

I finally got around to tackling the gf's Acura. This was my first go on a multiple stage correction. Results were decent, but not great. Most of the light swirls were taken care of, but some of the deeper stuff still remains. I think the issues was that I must not have worked the SSR 2.5 in...

Hey guys. Finally got a chance to give this a whirl. I worked on my 06 350z. It was difficult to capture the defects due to the color. Honestly it wasn't all that bad. Bein my first time, I was a little timid, and only went to a polishing pad with SSR1. I think the results turned out...

Okay guys, my PC is here, along with all the other goodys! I have just a few last questions before I jump in! 1. Polishing - My Z only has very light swirl marks so I'm confident that it will only required SSR1. I know you start with the least abrasive method first so my question is, do I...

Hey guys, I took the Saturday to try and shine up my wheels. I used Sonus polish with Mother's power cone. The results weren't too bad, considering this was my first time attempting something like this, all in all, I'm pretty pleased tho. Some of the really bad spots didn't come all the way...

Hey guys, I was helpin my mom clean her car for Mother's day yesterday (just a quick wash and wax), and as I was winding up the hose, I realized that if there was anything to make me not enjoy this hobby of mine, it would be cleanin up afterwards. I absolutely hate, cleanin out the buckets, and...

Hey guys, been readin around a lot, and picked up all kinda of great info. Beginning of next week, I'll be ordering the PC with poorboys products kit from Troy here!:dcrules I just had a few general questions about the products before I dive in head first! I've noticed the line on SSR1 blurs...

Hey guys...here's a pic of one of the lips on the wheels goin on the Z here soon. All four pretty much look the same. All I've tried so far is some cheap polish that I had, as you can see it was wasted effort. However, I can tell you the applicator pad turned black. Currently I don't have a...

Hey guys, sorry it took so long, but we've had some crazy weather here in the burgh lately. Monday it was snowing, and Saturday it was 50 degrees and Sunny. I took the opportunity and washed mine and the GF's cars to try and get you guys some pics. Anyone who didn't catch my intro thread, I...

Hello all! I've been reading around the site for a few months now, and have been intrigued by the talents that you guys have. The detailing showcase forum in particular, has me in awe. :bow I've always considered myself to be a bit retentive when it comes to my cars, but this site has...
