Yep, I'm sad to report that after washing my car and detailing the engine bay today (1st time for the ES), I noticed the first layer of greenish-yellow pollen. Looks like this will be part of our first local detailing meet as well. :( Well I guess we had to pay a price for 80 degrees and sun...

I've posted some already but a few people asked me to post some more as they are thinking about trying Souveran. It's very hard to get the photo quality just right. In reality there is much more wetness and flake sparkle than I am able to capture here: Process was P21S wash...

Friends, I have really enjoyed being here with so many others crazy about cars and car care. I'm looking forward to many enjoyable years seeing ever more reflective shots in Click and Brag and watching what cool new tech comes out in chemicals, microfiber, gear, and process. Here's to...

I wondered today if I am missing some obscure ones... I regularly hit Autopia, Better Car Care, and Detail City...where else should I go for good advice and ideas? What are your favorites?

I saw on a website earlier that Raindance has this new car polish that uses microfine diamond particles to polish...I wondered if anyone has tried it? It seems to me that diamonds might be good since that are aggressive and maybe this could be a great cutting product. On the other hand...

Received my package of toys from Hawaii today and I decided to try the new UltraPlush Plus (now say that 4 times really fast :) ) towel. Here's what I found... Looks: A+, Beautiful blue with dark blue edging. 16" by 16" Performance: A+, Super soft - great for final buffing, concours...

Got a notification this morning. Coupon code is PIN305 This may tempt me for the Souveran special with MF, Crystal Mist. :)

Yep, I decided to make use of the Pinnacle Souveran jars I have been hoarding. I put a thin layer on the ES and I am quite impressed. Unfortunately the weather here in Atlanta is very cloudy so I don't have a great pic: The thing I noticed is that it is very wet looking like Nattys on...

I found a Ferrari I really liked...by the way this is nearby at Ferrari of Atlanta. I'm trying to see if we can get a tour for our Atlanta Autopia event... I did not detail it but it looks good and what's wrong with a little eye candy? Here is an example of what claying/AIO/P21S can...

I thought it might be cool to look at everyone's brush collections... Here are mine including some new Megs brushes: The fine ones are from emmons coachworks and are really well made. As you can see I also have some older toothbrushes I use for removing wax from crevices. The...

I got up this morning and read the latest Car&Driver (April 2005) and it made me mad because I realized a serious flaw with Lexus, a brand I love due to great products and customer service.... The GS300 is just too slow. 0-60 in 6.9 seconds. Boo! While fast historically, this is simply not...

Here's another example of Poorboys SSR2.5 followed by Pinnacle Souveran. It still had some deep scratches but you had to be close to notice them. I'm real happy with how it turned out.

These are some pictures of my car with AIO+P21S. These are not nearly as sharp as I would like but the shine is still apparent:

Todd did most of the work and the owner Hari and I helped out. Process Clearkote wash, Megs clay, SSR2.5, Sonus Paint Cleanser, AIO, UPP Eagle One Wet on the tires, PB Wheel Sealant on alloy. :)

Here is a full wheel shot: Closeup: Analysis: Much less brake dust sticks. That which does stay wipes clean with damp MF and the sealant brings out the silver flake. P21S Polishing Soap on chrome tip exhaust: Analysis: Easy to use (loads easier than P21S Multi-Finish Restorer)...

Friends, I finally got my .Mac account set up properly so I decided to repost my Souveran pics at full resolution. As you can see Pinnacle Souveran is terrific on quality black paint: We used Z-7, Sonus Block and Glyde for claying, SSR2.5, then straight to Souveran. Seems to...

Before After Process: Zaino Z-7, Sonus Block Clay, Z-7, SSR2.5, AIO, Pinnacle Souveran, Pinnacle Crystal Mist We got lots of swirls out. :) Two more by request...

Here is a full wheel shot (finally sized properly): Closeup: P21S Polishing Soap on chrome tip exhaust:

I transformed a 13 year old BMW 325i today into something shiney but I got hung up on the greyish trim that runs below the door panels. Any suggestions for bring this back to the original color. I tried AIO for chemical cleansing then Poorboy's Trim Restorer but it did not work very...

Any suggestions on what type and year of BMW to buy that will be reliable as a used car? I'd like to have something 2000 or later and be at or below $25K? Is this possible? Any suggestions, advice, things to be careful of? Thanks, my wife is looking for a car. :)
