I've been toying with the thought of getting a new bike when all of a sudden poww! this beauty caught my eye and it as they say " the rest was history". Detailing is still going steady and sometimes takes up my sundays . So I ride to work ( airport ) and whenever I get the chance.. I have UPP...

Aloha, My wife and I had a few hours to kill, so we decided to clay and re-seal the bimmer. We used Clay Magic's fine grade and put one coat of PB's EX-P. It came out soo nice I wanted to share our hard work. You too can be a detail master like us :biggrin: :biggrin:

Aloha guys , I was thinking about how I usually don't spray or apply a scent after my details. How many of you do this ? Is it common at all the shops ? Do your customers expect this? I have a water based cherry scent that doesn't work good at all so I don't use it ..

Aloha Steve and members, I 've been using EX-P for my bimmers wheelsand my ? is how much diff. or better is the wheel sealant than EX-P? Is it really different ?

Just a regular bike detail but the amount of chrome on my buddy's Valkyrie is sick to the 2cd power... PwC really set off the chrome and paint . It was a 2 hr job so the product of choice was PB's PwC..Thanks PB for an awesome product line. You guys make me look good. Aloha Jon.

My friend just asked me how to take of the sticky glue after peeling the tint off. Any ideas on what works best ? its old tint off of a integra if that matters. Thanks and Aloha
