I headed to Dallas this past weekend and detailed a friend's C5 while I was there. It had some moderate swirling he wanted taken care of and requested that I "Zaino it." This car had more orange peel than any other GM vehicle I've done. Process: Wash with Zaino Z7 Clay Poorboy's SSR 2.5 via...

HOW TO POOP AT WORK We've all been there but don't like to admit it. We've all kicked back in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, following is the...

Every year in Amarillo, there is a show put on to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. It's a very nice show with around 250 cars. My car would have been in it, but it was still in the body shop. *Most of the pictures are not the best quality* There are tons of people walking around, making...

Is anyone using Eurow products other than the sheepskin mitt? http://www.euroworeilly.com/

The car fell victim to a hard life the past few months with an unfortunate dealership service incident and a subsequent body shop experience that proved to be the poorest I’ve ever experienced. This Spring clean-up came in preparation for a local car show. By the end of it, I had about 15...

Here are some of the pictures I took (you'll notice mine nestled in the middle):

Hopefully soon I'll be getting Special Touch, Omega Glaze, Blitz Wax, and Show Off. I've heard quite a bit about Blitz wax, but not a whole lot about the supporting products. Who out there has used the One Grand line-up?

This car is going to be turned in from a lease in a couple of months, so the owner wanted it cleaned up really well and as little swirling as possible. Very nice car (my first Mercedes), and not too bad to work on. Interior: Vacuum Wipedown Eagle One 20/20 on glass Exterior: Eagle...

Well, my Camaro is *way* past due for a set of shocks. I have lowering springs, which really narrows my choices. In reality, there are only two options - Koni single adjustables ($700+) or revalved Bilsteins ($500+). I could go with regular Bilstein HDs, but they are not recommended for...

For trying to remove 2000 grit sanding marks with a rotary, which one is better suited? What other compounds/polishes would you suggest to quickly perform the job?

This was posted on a car forum I frequent (I highlighted the parts I found most interesting): "I work at a detail shop right now in Norman, Ok we do personals and dearlerships, we do cars/trucks from 2006 Z06's to new mustangs to old beaters heres what we do and it takes about 2 hours at the...

The owner is trying to sell this TA, so he wanted it cleaned up before hand. It is a 2001 Ram Air Trans Am with heads/cam/nitrous making in the neighborhood of 600 rwhp. It was in desperate need of some attention. The paint was pretty heavily swirled and very gritty. *Lots* of stuff on the...

I noticed that Tropi-Care has started carrying a boar's hair brush. It looks like a pretty similar unit to Griot's brush. Has anyone had the chance to use this one? There's also a really nice "introductory" price on it - $33 - Go to "Detailing Brushes" on their website. Hopefully I can...

I think I'll be tackling my first wetsanding task on Monday. It's going to be very light wetsanding because the only way I'm able to compound/polish it out is via PC. What compound and/or polish do you guys think would be best to remove the sanding marks using the PC? I was thinking 3M...

This car belongs to the owner of local performance shop. They recently finished up this project, so he gave me a ring to clean her up. The car is an '05 C6 Corvette with a 402 stroker motor and twin turbos :nervous2: It made 840 rear wheel horsepower...before they added the methanol kit...

Who has experience with these? What's the story on them? Comparable to LC? There is a local shop that is carrying Griot's products, so they will be very convinient for me to pick up if they're worthwhile.
