Over the weekend I was able to detail a couple of green cars. 1st Car - My uncle's Toyota Camry. I think he bought this car new either a year or two ago. The paint was quite swirled with a couple of scratches and scuff marks, not to mention the dent in the front bumper when he hit a trailer...

After seeing the awesome job GSRstilez did on Craigster's Azure Blue Mach1 (you can read about it HERE ) I just had to do my Azure Blue Mach1 too. :p Process: Wash - Poorboy's Super Slick & Suds Car Wash Polish - Menzerna P085RD w/white polishing pad Glaze - Clearkote's Red Moose Machine...

Last week I picked up a bottle of Menzerna's P085RD polish from PakShak after Ranney told me how awesome this polish was. I think the posts here about that polish helped a little too. ;) So over the weekend I just had to try it out on my Mach1, and wow, I think I have a new favorite finishing...

So this past weekend was a double header for me. I cleaned my neighbor's two cars: his black Lexus, and his daughter's 2005 Audi A4. First up, the Lexus. Nothing special here. Just washed, lightly polished with Vanilla Moose and a polishing pad, topped with Meguiar's #16 Pro Wax. I went with...

Being a nice guy ;) I'd thought I'd help a friend out and clean his car for him as he hardly has time to clean it. He's a police officer who works the night shifts, and so even though he may have a few days off, he's either too busy or too tired to clean his car. Anyways, the kinda cool thing is...

Since the last time I've been wanting to experiment with Clearkote's Red Moose Machine Glaze (RMG) even more, especially to try the method of application Scottwax suggested. So over the past few weeks, I've been trying out different combos. I have tried Vanilla Moose as a base, RMG, topped...

I finally got to take some pictures of my Mach1 with its latest combo: RMG, FMJ, and Trade Secret. Process: Wash - two bucket method w/Poorboy's SS&S car wash Polish - Poorboy's SSR 2.5 w/polishing pad to remove water spots and swirls Glaze - Clearkote's Red Moose Machine Glaze w/...

Well, this past Friday I got around to doing my neighbor's daughter's 2002 green metallic accord. i had detailed his lexus, posted here and he was so happy with that detail that he asked me to detail his daughter's Accord. Well, the Accord was like the Lexus, I don't think it's ever been...

Since I didn't want all my work to go down the drain (literally) I told my neighbor to not take his car to the car wash, but to let me know and I can wash it for him. Here's the link to my post on the first time I detailed it: First Detail So today I had some time, and went over to...

Despite recovering from a cold, I decided to try out a couple new products I got: Menzerna's FMJ and 4 Star UPP. Typical Autopian of detailing even though I'm still a little sick? :o Since my Mach1 was sitting in the garage since Thursday, I just started off with a polish. Out came my PC...

So last week as I was washing my car, one of my neighbors came over to ask if I could detail his car as he was thinking of selling it and buying a new car. Basically he said, I want my car to look as good as yours. Ah, I guess that's what happens when you are an Autopian and keep your car...

All last week I tried out the Klasse twins on my mom's 1998 Altima. I thought the twins would be good for her car since it's a metallic greyish-blueish color and the twins give a nice clear look. Process: 1. Washed with QEW (I love this stuff!). Chenelle covered wash mitt, two buckets, one...

I really must love my Mach1 to have bought not just one, but two more! :D The one in the back is a 1/18th-scale Mach1 from Auto Art. It's a 2003 model (no 40th Anniversary badge) but is quite detailed. The interior even feels like carpet. :p The little one in the front is a...

This past weekend, I washed my other Mustang, a 1989 LX 5.0 Hatchback with a single stage dark red paint, as I had detailed it the previous weekend, and as it sits outside 24-hours a day, 7 days a week under a tree, it obviously got dirty. So as I proceeded to hose it down, I noticed the way the...

on my way home from work today, i saw one of the Dale Earnhardt Jr's Signature Series Monte Carlo. here's a couple links i've found on the web about this special car: http://www.motortrend.com/features/news/112_news040427_earnhardt/...

With this past weekend being a 3-day weekend, I decided to detail my Mach1. Here's the process: Wash with Meguiar's Gold Class car wash shampoo Polished with Poorboy's SSR 2 (PC w/ cutting pad) Spot polished with Poorboy's SSR 2.5 (PC w/ cutting pad) Polished with Poorboy's SSR 1 when...

I gotta say thanks to 04cobra for sending me some Caranuba Moose Wax! I finally got around to using it, and I must say, it's really nice. My Mach1 previously had VM and EX-P x2 on it, done a couple weeks ago. Over the weekend, I decided to try out the CMW. I washed with NXT Wash (love how...

and others with rims that have some paint on 'em. try putting NXT on your rims, especially the painted areas. i tried it on my Mach1 rims, and it really made the metallics in the grey areas really shiney! :p here's a close up of what i'm talking about (edit: ugh, i didn't realize how ugly...

Ranney was super cool :xyxthumbs and dropped off my order of 'Hawaiian Punch' (name of the VM/EX-P combo from PakShak) this past Friday. This was from Friday night, after I finished putting on the Vanilla Moose (by PC with a polishing pad) and the EX-P (by hand with the foam applicator from...

.....and I was just wondering, is it possible to make my Mach1 look deeper and wetter? Or is this the best I could expect of my color (Azure Blue)? This is what my Mach1 looks like, and this was taken this afternoon near sunset, some clouds, after being washed with NXT wash (it got dirty at...
