I'm looking to get my 09 Impala SS detailed in the Metro Detroit area. I used to do this stuff myself, but not anymore! I live in Northville/Plymouth area, work in Dearborn. Anyone local looking to do a detail? I'm looking for interior/exterior, with clay bar, 3-step, paint chip touchup...

I'm about 75% done with my Black Envoy for the Spring clean up. So far, I've Washed Clay Washed SSR2.5 SSR1 Now I'm to the PwC part before finishing with EX. I don't remember what pad I'm supposed to use with PwC. Is it a polishing pad or a finishing pad? I will use the finishing with the...

Well, over the weekend I did the winter prep on my Envoy. My routine was Wash Clay Wash SSR1 AIO SG It came out great. Anyways, last night I took the wife and kiddo out to dinner. She did not know I did anything to the Envoy. She never pays attention. So, she tries to open the...

Hello everybody, I don't know if anyone is interested, but I have 6 Gmail Invites available. If you want one, let me know. No games required. --Fleet

Someone at work is selling coupon books with free carwash coupons in it. I can buy 20 washes for $30 at the local gas station. I think I'll buy 2. :lmfao Anyone in Metro Detroit want one? Proceeds go to the GM Women's Club. Its good at the BP station in Pontiac. While I politely turned...

What is the point of using Poorboys Pro Polish instead of PwC? The PwC really worked out well on my wife's grey Exploder. I'm just wondering why Poorboys has 2 similar products? It looks like 1 has Carnauba and 1 doesn't. Is that the only difference? If I were only using Poorboys products...

Well, I had a nice experience when I left work today. I park in a parking garage, and I was not paying attention when I left. As I pulled out of my space, I scraped a structural support column. These are 3' x 3' cement columns. I was going about 2 mph. The estimate is $1800. I guess I...

I have a hot tub on my deck. The cover is in pretty bad shape. It is grey vinyl. I have many trees in my back yard and there is sap all over the cover. I use the conventional cleaners from the hot tub store, but they are not strong enough. So, I'm thinking, "I have a Porter Cable and a hell...

I have some microscratches on the bumper of my black Envoy that I cannot get rid of. I've been using the Poorboys products for over a month now, and I am disappointed by the performance of the Swirl Removers. The first time I tried, I used SSR1 with a Polishing Pad followed by SSR2 with a...

I've been using the Poorboys products for over a month now. I am disappointed by the performance of the Swirl Removers. I have some microscratches on the rear bumper of my black Envoy, and I cannot get them out with SSR2 or SSR1. The first time I tried, I used SSR1 with a Polishing Pad...

I finished washing the SUVs this morning, and put a coat of EX on my wife's 2003 Explorer. Came out pretty nice. I had applied PwC a couple of weeks ago, and now the Explorer is finished. I applied both by hand. I'm amazed that Ford has significantly better paint than GMC. My Envoy has...

I'm planning on buying some QEW. I'm not sure how much to order. How many washes does a 16oz bottle yield? Thanks, Fleet

Over the weekend, I detailed my 2003 GMC Envoy for the first time with a PC. The process I used was Wash-Clay-Wash-SSR2-SSR1-EXP. I'm pretty happy with the results, but I used WAY too much product with the PC. I was slinging all over the place. The Poorboys products were easy to use, but...

Okay, I detailed my Envoy today. I posted pics in another thread. But, I used WAY too much product. For the SSR2, I went through 1/4 of the bottle. I'm not kidding. For the SSR1. I went through 1/3 of the bottle. Hokey smokes, that's a lot. I am new to this PC thing. With the SR2, I...

Well, after all this talking, I finally got to work on my 03 GMC Envoy. It was in pretty good shape beforehand, having the "paint protection" installed 19 months ago. But, it was pretty scratched up. I washed - clayed - washed - SSR2 - SSR1 - EXP. This was my first battle with a PC. I think...
