Hello All - I don't post much anymore. New job has me very busy, but I still follow DC and seem to learn something new every time I log-on. This post is just a quik rant for me. My wife's G35 was keyed this morning and I need to blow-off steam with people who can appreciate my frustration...

I tested Poorboys EX-P+ prototype over the weekend, and the results were fantastic. Test car was a silver G35, which had SSR2/EX-P combo done in October. Used that for comparison with this test. Everything done by PC. COMBO: SSR2/EX-P+ APPLICATION/REMOVAL: Test done on cold, damp night in...

... at least that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. :cool Most of my mileage is highway, and I use sealers on windshields for protection... PP & EX-P x2 with last detail. Great in rain, too. Today at speed I got nailed by the rock from hell. It sounded like a .45 went off inside the...

Attached are a few pics after working with Poorboys products on my car for the first time. The process was: Megs NXT Wash x2 (b/a clay) Clay SSR2.5 x2 / light cut DA SSR2 x2 / polishing DA PwC / polishing DA EX x2 / finishing DA & hand PP & EX-P x2 on Wheels BnB on Tires Wanted one more...

I've had the chance to work with Edge2000 DA green, blue, and white pads. The following is my review of these pads: Price: Edge2000 pads are two-sided, and one pad is the same price (or in some cases lower) than two "brand x" pads. Edge2000 DA pads also use the Edge adapter, which saves both...

How aggressive is the Sonus DAS orange pad? Working with a black finish, moderate swirls and other defects, and was thinking about starting with SSR2.5 on Sonus green. What are the pros and cons of going with Sonus orange and either SSR2.5 or 2?

Wanted y'all to know about the great customer service (and great results :bigups) that I've received from Aaron and The Edge pads. This weekend I had a small problem with an Edge2000 DA pad, mostly due to a Sept heat wave in our area and not the pad. Sent Aaron a note about it Mon, and today...

Here's a few hood shots from my weekend project. The rest of the car is dents and dings... and the before shot is after wash & dry! Thought it would be a nice test project for my new goodies... :doh Did it all with PC & Edge2000 pads. Started with PP on blue just to bring the paint back...

I placed an order with Poorboys yesterday. Last night realized I forgot something and sent Steve a note asking if he could add it to my order... and of course I would pay for the product. Steve not only added the item, but he did so at no-charge! I've been amazed at the great customer service...

Hello DC, I'm working on an E430 with badly wrinkled driver seat... see attached pic. I'll post the passenger for comparison. The wrinkled photo is even after a few tricks I found on DC. Found the thread on rinsing terry cloth in very hot water, wringing it, and using it as a hot applicator...

I just caught a thread with mention of media trade for detailing services, and thought some of you might benefit from insight from the media's perspective. Media (tv, radio, print) love to have trade on-hand. Car wash and detail trade is high on that list (just below bar trade :beer). Trade...

Hello DC... great site! Been searching and learning for months.:bigups Used my first post to ask way too many questions (ie: newb!), so this time I'll do it right, introduce myself, and say HI! Look forward to learning more from y'all. Need to upgrade products before posting pics... some...

Hello All - Great site... a goldmine of tips and tricks! :bigups I've got a few questions on the best process and products to use for the two cars I work on. Primary is my black '99 M-B E430, which is in good cond with minor swirls. Second is my wife's desert silver '04 G35, new and in xlnt...
