    Paul @ CG > *

    I placed my order online Monday night, 8.6.07. Tuesday night I got a shipping tracking number, Thursday night I found out that FedEx attempted delivery (although I didn't have a door tag) and today the product was delivered:cool: I have some issues with FedEx, but we'll get to that later...

    I will never buy another window care product

    I have cleaned the inside of my windshield several times with several different products using microfiber towels each time and always end up with haze a day or so later:wall I tried everything from using a single mf towel for the whole process to using two towels, one for the initial...

    Pink Moose+Optimum Polish=lovely combo

    Today I decided to detail my mom's commuter car, it's a 96 Civic EX with over 200k on the dial. The car has been good to her but it's time to get a new commuter, this thing feels every bit it's age. In any case, she left her car with me while she was in Oregon this past week and she's coming...

    Makita dual mode polisher

    Anybody ever used this machine? It looks like a nice machine to have since it can operate as a DA polisher as well as a rotary. The main drawback I can see is that the backing plate cant be changed out, but besides that it looks like the ultimate detailing machine. Makita Two Mode...

    95 Lexus SC 400

    I was referred by a former coworker to detail this car. When I got there to do my estimate I noticed the front bumper/hood and driver side fender had been repainted thanks to the tale-tale buffer swirls. The rest of the car was mildly swirled, nothing too heavy. I don't have any before pics...

    Homemade 5" backplate

    Yesterday when I was preparing to leave for my detail job for the day, I realized that I had some 5.5" white LC low profile pads but didn't have a backing plate to use them with. I then remembered that I had two backing plates for the 6.5" pads so I picked the one that looked like I could cut it...

    Does OP breakdown?

    I used it yesterday for the first time and couldn't tell if/when it broke down. I just worked it in for a while, checked my work, and if it showed the results I wanted then I moved on. This stuff has an unbelievable work time and I love how little product was needed once the pad got loaded. I...

    Used HTEC for the first time today, and the verdict is...................

    This stuff is awesome!!! I am amazed at the correction I was able to get, in the time I was able to get it, by using it with my PC and an orange pad. I am very, very impressed with it. Another thing I noticed is that it's not so fun to use on single stage paint. I did a 97 Lexus SC400...

    Finally got brave and used CG ONE

    After weeks of having a filthy car and being scared of trying this stuff out, I finally grew a pair and gave it a shot. I'm not gonna lie though, I didn't follow the directions on the bottle, I guess my pair weren't large enough:( The past couple weeks have made my car embarrassingly dirty...

    3 details today: 72 Cutlass, 69 Chevelle SS, 06 Range Rover

    This is the most details I've ever done in a single day, but I guess it helps that they were simple wash n wax jobs. All 3 were well taken care of and had no swirls so all I did was protect them. For all 3 the process was: Wash: CG ONE QD: Zymol Detailer Wax: S100 see below for the...
