i highly recomend this wax if your looking for a higher end wax, but dont want to spend 80 dollars for a couple ounces. its a wipe on, wipe off wax, and smells great. it has a coconut fragrance to it that its really pleasing. its by far better than any OTC wax ive used.



ONR is probably the greatest thing ever. 2 gallons of water is more than enough to clean my car with. i tried it with a MF on my friends integra first, and i used a Home Depot grout sponge on my car, and i prefer the grout sponge. i also used the 1 bucket method on my friends car, and used the 2 bucket method on mine. and 2BM is definetly the way to go.



i love the guzzler microfibers. the 20x40 dried the entire truck i was working on and didnt streak, and could have definetly picked up more water.



heres some pictures of said truck =) it was the truck of one of my best friends mom.

the entire truck got 2 passes of IP, and a pass of FP. sealed with megs 21



interior was shampooed and extracted witha LGM (just got it yesterday)

the seats were disgusting and gross and had about 7 years of filth encrusted on the top

before

after



half and half of the seats (drivers side done)

the filth

edit: i just realized my friend is in the backround holding his airsoft gun lol

im thinking the truck was a repaint because the finish was very badly orange peeled.

sorry for the long thread. and the sub par CandB =)

I'm sure you did a good job, but the pictures make it really hard to tell. Consider investing in a tripod.

oh i know.



my picture taking skills arent to great.



we have a tripod somewhere in the house, and i definetly use it the next time around. on the camera they look fine, but when you see it on the computer alot of them are definetly blurry.

It's a bit hard to see the result on silver. But the Acura looks wet, and nice turnaround on the Tacoma. Most cameras have a continous shooting mode, so when you aim for a shot, you hold down the shutter for 2-3 shots. This way one of the shots will almost always turn out sharp.

thanks for the tip.



yeah in person my car looks wet, but its a bit hard to capture that with the camera i have.

Looks like a good start to your detailing obsession!!



You location says "North County SD"....is that SanDiego or South Dakota? I noticed all the cars had Cali plates!! Just struck me as wierd!!

 

[NCZ13]

san diego.



that is kind of confusing lol. i should change that.



oh my detail obsession started a year ago.



since then my process has greatly improved, ive made the transition from OTC products, and i have the cleanest car on my street (and probably my neighborhood)
