Santa Barbara Concours In order to stay in the running for the end of year trophy I had to do 2 things...win and win with a very high score. I was fortunate to do both. Zero deductions for exterior, interior and engine....with just 0.2 off on the trunks. Now its time for sleep :)

San Diego Concours Pics Just a few pics....ran out of steam at the end of the day. Day started at 4.30am and judged a lot of cars as well...so pretty beat now. Got a pretty good score 239.6 (just 4/10 th deductions), but not good enough. Won my class and finished 2nd overall. After...

...not exactly a car show, but thought the pics would be of interest. Some of the items covered where: 1. Polishing/waxing/PC usage - demo by Meguiars 2. Rear plastic window renovation 3. Claying 4. Soft top cleaning and protecting 5. Dent removal service 6. Paint chip reapir service...

Had the front bumper, hood and fenders resprayed. After allowing a few weeks I have finally detailed the whole car. 3M IHG and P21S wax the main products. SoCal Boxster Group Detailing Day - Aug 31st

Raggtopp makes a great cleaner and an excellent protectant. I had previously protected the cabrio top using the Porsche product. But as others have noted before, its a pain because you have to mask and protect everything from over spray. Yesterday I cleaned the roof with the Raggtopp...

Had a great day and a great win. :D Pics from Cal Central Coast Concours

The first time I used Griots Engine Gloss Spray, the results were outstanding...see pic. However for each concours event I wash the engine down with a citrus degreaser (P21S Total Auto Wash). This would partially strip the spray. I would then have to respray with the Griots Engine Gloss...

http://www.dftowel.com/microblurb.html It states two points: 1. You can make microfiber yarn from 100% natural materials 2. You should avoid MF products made from amongst other things, polyester. Now my understanding is that the almost universal definition of MF (at least for...

Overall not a bad day. Won Street-7 and placed 2nd overall. :D Just 4 deductions, 3 of which are things I can't do much about (stone ships etc...already touched up) :o My competition (Speed Yellow 993 Turbo) was once again awesome. :bow Porsche LA Concours

Wow...what a long day. 6.00am for placement, frantic cleaning for 3 hrs, then I had to judge for 4 hrs.....as such I didn't get a chance to take many photos. It was a very big turn out...not sure how many cars we had in the end (I heard 100?), but all I know is that in Wash and Shine - Div 2...

Had one too many deductions today, but still ended with a great result. First in Street-7 and first place overall :D Porsche Long Beach Concours

Does anyone have any data on this subject?

Based on a recommendation of a friend I followed 3M IHG with GEPC. The results were very good and the GEPC seemed to back out some of the micro scratching the IHG created. The GEPC also helped clean up some remaining IHG smears. 3M IHG is great stuff, but its tough to fully remove. My...

I am doing the Las Vegas Porsche Concours Event in April and want a place to prep my car after the drive from LA. Ideal car wash place would have power available, plenty of shade and be located near Fremont Street....any suggestion? Thank in advance. JB :)

I just returned some MF towels to Griots because the towels have sharp corners. Unfortunately the new set they sent had the same problem. It seems they use some type of plastic coating on the binding thread at the corners. Anyway I buy a Big Blue Drying Towel, based on recommendations, and...

Planning..planning...planning 1. What detailing you plan to do weeks in advance.? I plan to do specific task weeks in advance, like polishing and waxing the door jams etc. There are several task that if you do, will make cleaning each and every week that much easier. 2. What...

Posted this the other day in the detailing forum...thought it would be worth while to repeat here: Griot Product Review Window Cleaner (incl wipes) - A+ Lint Free Paper Towels (for Window Cleaning) - A++ Speed Shine - B (prefer Final Inspection) Clay - A (works good, but haven't used...

A rather negative post about claying over on the Boxster Board http://www.986.org/boards/986/main.pl?read=618997

I have just read an article written by Einszett. They state that most modern leather interiors have in fact a clear coat over the leather. They state that the older style leather interiors have dyed in color and it is appropriate to use a conditioner (hide food) that feeds the necessary...
