    Issue with Wax over CG Wet Mirror Finish

    Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish was applied, waited 15 minutes, excess removed gently. I laid down some Megs Liquid Gold Class over the CG glaze and went to wipe after maybe 4-5 minutes and there was an oily residue I could not remove. It was like I was just moving the residue around on the hood...

    Meguiar's M105 Ultra Cut Compound

    My first time using m105 was on this 2010 Mercedes GLK 350. Here are some photos I took prior to wash and decontamination. I apologize for the awkward orientation of the photos. I started with a Meg's MF cutting disc and had some issues with the paint on the hood being very finicky. I...

    2010 GLK 350 in Black....Take a look please

    2010 Merc GLK 350. There was some type of "EZ WASH" pass on the windshield so I knew that wasnt a good start. The previous owner may or may not have ever had the paint protected in any way. There was one line of pigtails on the passenger front door about 6" long which was interesting. Please...

    2013 G37x with a 12 hour deadline for lease inspection

    The client needed his G37x to be in as good of shape as possible because the lease turn-in inspection was.....THE NEXT DAY. It had been washed semi-regularly, he had a dog...., and the leather had never been protected with anything. With 12 hours I had to prioritize tasks to get the most...

    Schwarz 330 BMW Sedan Hood Repaint/Body Shop Carnage vs Me!

    My friend was at a stoplight when the girl in front of him waiting to turn left decided she had better get out of the intersection since the light turned red and she had missed her chance to turn. So...she shifts into reverse...and never looks back. Literally. So my friend ends up getting $1100...

    Wash Mitt Storage? Yes it's a serious question.

    How do you store your wash mitts? I like to place them in a closed bin to keep them clean...but im concerned about mildew, mold etc. But if I leave them in something open to air dry Im worried about particulates landing on them! How do you store yours? Photos of custom setups would be...

    Steam vs. 213,000 mile Accord

    Steam, MF towels, very light dusting of CG Fabric Clean and patience. Oh and music. If youd like my detailing playlist let me know. I just ended my tenure at a detail shop as I am headed for greener pastures. I thought it was about time I turned my attention to my 1998 Accord. Sick of getting...

    Sonax Wheel Cleaner Full Effect, CG Wet Mirror Glaze, CG Gray and OG clay, CG Jetseal

    I am not one to mince words, but I will be thorough when needed. Sonax Wheel Cleaner Full Effect Doesnt work well at all in cool to cold temps (below 45 F), still had to follow up with Meg's Hot Rims. Maybe this is a product that wows people with vehicles under 20k miles, but from what Ive...

    3rd Gen Griot's 6" DA Issue out of the box?

    With the stock 6'' backing plate and the Chemical guys 5" plate there seems to be an odd movement. If you were to set a DA flat on a surface..you would expect it to rotate/move in any direction on that plane. However mine seems to also "wobble" or move front to back. Meaning front...toward the...

    GC v34 and v38 vs. 212,000 mile Accord

    These photos are garbage, I apologize. I have only done a small section on my Accord as it was getting late. UPS dropped off the rest of my orders today so I thought Id experiment on my Accord before doing client cars this weekend. What I used: -GC V34 on an Orange Hexlogic pad at 4k rpms -GC...

    Durability of Griot's 6" 3rd Gen

    I have only used a DeWalt direct drive for paint correction at work. I am close to pulling the trigger on a Griots 3rd gen 6 inch DA. Everything I have read, seen from experienced detailers is great, however, I have also seen a lot of comments such as "mine only lasted 6 months" and "Great...
