Well after I posted my last thread with the hood question, I was thinking more and more about clear bra. When I go to 3m.com and hear other people they say some kits are $700 and then I started looking around because i didnt want to spend that much. At xpel.com the bumper kit is $260, at...

Hello all, I have included a link to pictures of my car, a 99 Grand Prix GTP. In these pictures it was polished via PC with Optimum Compound/Polish followed by AIO and then just EX-P. I like the look of it, but it wasnt wet enough for me. I would like suggestions if anyone has some...I have...

Well I am down in Gulfport, Mississippi serving with World Hope International helping clean up the hurricane disaster. And let me tell you, I was blessed by the Lord last night when he allowed for the DSL to be re-connected not only for my needs, but also for the needs of the church. But it...

Alright well last night I was almost about to throw away my Porter Cable. I was beyond frustrated with my results I was getting. On my previous posts I showed pictures of my car detailed and I thought it looked "good" but then after weeks of not washing it...I know shame on me - I'll throw out...

Hello everyone, this is just a post of my 1999 Grand Prix GTP. Sorry no before pictures, I was working at night. Vehicle had moderate swirling with some light scratches on the trunk. I tried to get the best sun pictures I could but lately here in Michigan it hasn't been too great. It's a nice...
