Well I got a couple of the new CG's products in to try, and it was about time to wax the GTP, so I took a few pics of the results. The car's got 132,000 miles and was last polished out with FPII in August. The pictures speak for themselves, I was extremely impressed with the acrylic glaze...

I'm looking to see if anyone has a can of Blitz and/or a bottle of Omega Glaze for trade, I have a gallon of MWB, HTEC, OP and OHC, CG trim gel, CG O-Shine and Silk Shine, Meg's #66, Menzerna FPII and a small bottle (4oz) of PO85RD that I'd be willing to trade. I'd be willing to buy outright...

I never planned on getting into aircraft, but a good friend of mine won the bid on an aircraft fleet (37 planes, wash monthly, detail 5 a month) and although he had the washing down, he didn't have the first clue on where to start detail wise. Long story short, I needed the money and went in on...

I've been waiting for a while to post a review of Meg's Wheel Brightener, but so far I haven't run into a bad enough rim to really show how powerful it is. Well yesterday I got an '03 Saturn in that had previously had brake problems, and had some really severe brake dust. The wheel cleaner on...

Yesterday I did a '98 Lexus LS400, 114000 miles. The clear was flaking in a few spots so I decided to use the least aggressive approach possible to avoid thinning the clear. I probably could have compounded the whole car and gotten all of the marring out, but I was afraid of taking off too much...

Hey guys, I live out in Portland, and I'm going to be working on my GTP before I head down to Florida. I've got a pretty big driveway (3-4 cars) and I've got all the toys (rotary, cyclo, foamgun, etc), if anyone from around here is interested I'd like to throw a detail day/machine polishing...

Well last week a bunch of stuff came in from The Chemical Guys, their new trim gel, maxi suds II, silk shine dressing, new shine dressing, clay bar, waffle weave, speed wipe and M-seal. Although I didn't get a chance to use the M-seal, I used the rest on this V70. Process: Wash with Maxi...

Here's some work I did for fellow Autopian Bans25. Great guy to work for, long day though. I got in at 8:45 AM and out at 9PM, and didn't even get the interior done on the ZR1 :hairpull. 2003 Silverado Z71 (No before pics, sorry) Wash with FK1 #116 Clay with CG's clay bar and lube Meg's...

I'll be moving down from Maine to Melbourne for college (Florida Tech) in about 3 weeks. Needless to say, living in the dorms is going to kill me, as I'm used to having a full driveway, soft water, garage, all the toys etc. Is there anyone down there who would like to meet up? Preferably someone...

I was working on a 92 Miata today that'd been in storage for about a year. The owners just took it out, and they failed to warn me that things might have been living in it. I almost puked when I pulled the seats forward, heres what I found: Has anything like this happened to anyone else?

Steve sent me a free trial size bottle of this with my last order. Here's a quick review Cost: Free, but probably going to be around 15/bottle or 50/gallon when released. Packaging: Comes in a little bottle with a pump. The bottle sucks, but hopefully the finished version will be sans the...

Got a big CG order in last week, and I don't have the writing ability to pen out a big reply, so heres the short and narrow of it. I'm not gonna speculate on which products are similar to those of "other manufacturers". You'll just have to put in a CG order yourself to find out :). CG Clay...

Did two details this week, and they couldn't have been farther apart. Detail #1 was the job from hell, a black 2001 Audi A6 that had apparently been washed with a scotchbrite pad, paint transfer, and god knows what else. Despite having only 50,000 miles, it had seen rougher days than some cars...

As a guy who can't keep one coat on his car for more than a week, I'm surprised I got 3 together :). She had Blue Natty's X2 on her, and today I decided to toss on a coat of Souveran after the wash. All I can say is WOW!. It keeps the wetness of the Natty's, with far more gloss and reflection...

Chemical Guys is running a clay deal right now - 3 big bars (200gr I think, I've got a set coming monday so I'll know then), and a half gallon of lube for around 55 bucks. For anyone who does a lot of claying, its not a bad deal. Also you can get 6 and a gallon for about 100, if you do some...

Did this one today, gave the owner a discount, as I'm learning with a Makita 9227. Fortuneatly, everything worked out ok, and I didnt burn the paint or leave any holograms :). According to the owner, it hasn't been waxed since they bought it, but they did get the paint sealant at the dealership...

Finally got a digicam today (and a 9227C :)), so I figured I'd post some pics of the work that me and JJ did today. He worked on his wife's 95 Sentra, and I worked on the beater of the century, a 96 Subaru Legacy owned by a family member (name withheld to protect the guilt party). JJ's...

The local pro tool supply place (Advantage Tool & Gases for those locals) is having a big "under the tent" scratch and dent sale. I'm probably gonna go pick up a Makita rotary for myself, they have assorted Makita, Dewalt and Porter Cable tools. Not sure what they've got for buffers, but if...

I just bought a new LGCM to replace the one that broke on me, and in the process, I began to price out commercial extractors. Although I can't afford either the size or price of a Ninja, Top of the Line's Durr-Maid mini hot extractor is looking pretty good to me. I know that this LGCM will not...
