    Been awhile - Back w/ '96 Accord V6

    Well, it has been awhile since I've been on here....a good year or more since I've been active much. I went through a spell of owning car's that couldn't be detailed or weren't worth my time to detail. First was a 91 Civic that had such thin paint that after one detail, I couldn't polish if I...

    Sold my GSR - Detailed my "new" 91 civic hatch

    Well first of all, I sold my GSR last fall. I miss it more than I thought was possible to miss a vehicle. Part of me wishes I'd kept it.....the other part loves the no car payment deal we now have. Here's my old teg for those that might not remember me (I haven't been on for awhile)...

    2009 Acura TSX - Dark Blue

    Well I finally got a chance to detail my parents' new TSX. They just got it a few weeks ago and it was the only dark blue one within 6 states (had to look hard to find one). Anyway it was a joy to detail. This was an exterior only detail. Process: Wash with Dawn Clay Megs #80 w/...

    Sold the Integra, bought an accord

    So, I finally sold my integra. I couldn't handle the black daily driver anymore and we needed something with 4 doors for loading our son. I picked up a 97 Accord and I am LOVING the white. Sure it doesn't have that same wow or pop as black, but I went a week and a half without washing it and...

    Rug Doctor???

    Our living room carpet is in need of some serious cleaning. We have a hoover carpet shampooer and while it does clean up the carpets some, it doesn't get it fully clean and the spots seem to come back after awhile. I was wondering if anybody on here has ever used a Rug Doctor (the ones from...

    Big Dark Blue Truck

    Well this is a "free" detail I did for my brother-in-law this past weekend. He helps us a lot by hauling stuff every now and then so I re-payed him with this detail. This was not a full correction by any means. I spent 3 hours on the exterior counting the wash/dry and I spent 1.5 hours on...

    Help with Basic Rotary Setup

    I've been using the PC for a couple years now and I'm ready to make the rotary jump. I plan to only use rotary for the first step to get heavier stuff out and finish with the PC. Possibly 2 rotary step + 1 PC step occasionally. I'm wanting to basically take a 3-4 step PC process and knock...

    Sometimes I'm weird, but here's a thought.s

    So while taking my shower tonight, I got to thinking........wouldn't it be cool if you get hygiene products that beaded well like car products. Duragloss or Collonite should introduce a body soap or lotion that can give a beading or sheeting effect for your body. Then you could dry with a...

    Oh, Come ON!!!, Give me a BREAK!!!!

    Geez....so I polished out my black Acura 2 weekends ago. Since then I've done 2 washes. 1st wash was a conventional wash, blew the car dry with the leaf blower and did a QD wipe down with Megs Last Touch. 2nd wash was just to get rid of the dust from 4-5 days of driving. Did an ONR...

    DG 105 + AquaWax Question

    This combo is the perfect combo of looks and durability for customer's and family member's cars (in my opinion). However, in these situations, I don't have the luxury of waiting 12 hours to let the 105 cure before applying AW. So....will adding a layer of Aquawax within about 30 minutes of...

    Detailed: 2000 Black Integra GSR

    Finally got the car detailed after the harsh winter. The car needed it bad and was pretty butchered up but looking much better now. I did it kind of different this time. Entire car polished with Megs 80 and LC white pad (some areas got Poli-Seal instead of M80...a few got both)...

    Duragloss 105 after 5 months (picture)

    Well, I must say.....I wasn't too pleased with the looks of DG105 when I applied it last september....but this is pretty amazing to me. The paint looks amazing still considering it hasn't been waxed/sealed in 5 months. It's still really slick and beads really well. Oh.....it has been outside...

    Integra - My new wheels and 5 month old DG 105

    Just got my new wheels in today and slapped a coat of Duragloss 105 on them and threw them on the car. The car is wearing a 5 month old coat of Duragloss 105 which still shines and beads decently considering the harsh winter. Anyway, I'm loving my new wheels and can't wait for warmer weather...

    Less than impressed v. DG105

    Well I have to say that I"m somewhat dissapointed. I've read all the hype on DG105 so decided to give it a go. I polished w/ OP first then applied 601 and then 105 over that. THen 12 hours later I threw on another 105. So, it looks really good......but I'm not used to the car looking...
