WOW! That is amazing!! I've been waiting for a before and after pic like that for a long time. That is exactly what Klasse AIO did to my father-in-law's red pickup. It was practicly pink before and bright red after. :xyxthumbs You gotta share your product list with us man! Great job.
 
1. Meguiars Dual action Polish applied with a rotary polisher (Makita)

2. Meguiars Gold Class Prep and Swirl Remover (to reduce swirls) using a DA orbtial sander (Ryobi)

3. Klasse AIO using a DA orbtial sander

4. One coat of Klasse Sealant Glaze

5. Pinnacle Souveran by hand



Parts were also done with 3M Machine Polish followed by steps 1-5.



I was testing the Meg dual action polish and I found it to be a very good product, very similar to 3M Machine Polish (which is also an excellent product - but we all know that). Step 1 used a wool pad and the others a Meg W8006 buffing pad.

Jngrbrdman,

Thanks for correcting me. The word "Y'all" may be considered singular. If so considered, the plural then becomes, "All y'all." Of course there are even some differences in the South. East of the river (the Mississippi, that is), the initials UT mean a whole different institution (insert Rocky Top here) as opposed to west of the river (insert something to do with Longhorns here).

Hello All!,

I have been floating around hee for a while, viewed various posts at work here in Afghanistan. Now I am getting ready to be on my way home and will be looking to step up my detailing game. First off, I have been doing the weekend warrior detailing for years and have exclusively used Mother's and Meguires products in the past. Last year I decided to try some Surf City products and was pleased with the results. Now, having been thru this site for the past few months I am overwhelmed by the amount of products the pro's use. I have been researching and wanted to run my list past the craftsmen on here before pulling the trigger on new supplies.
My List:
-ONR 32oz
-OPC 32oz
-CG Citrus Wash
-Meguires 106 ( I thinK?) APC for wheel wells
-Sonax Wheel cleaner
-Various Brushes
-Westleys Bleach White
-(2) 5 gal buckets w/ Grit Guards
- Micro fiber drying towels (need an economical suggestion)
-Clay (need an economical suggestion, plan on using ONR for lube)
-Meguires 105/ 205
-Mezerna 85rd
-Lake country pads (4 orange, 2 white, 2 black sound right?)
-PC 7424 (do I need to buuy the adaptor for the pads?)
-BFWD (or the fire over ice kit?)
-Recommendation for tire dressing (medium gloss)
-Recommendation for wheel wax
-Microfiber polishing towels (need an economical suggestion)
-Various spray bottles (assuming Lowes or Home Depot?)

Interior:
- Recommendation for leather cleaning, treatment?
-303 Aerospace Protectant
- Recommendation for vacuum?
- Recommendation for carpet cleaning?

The vehicles I am working on are:
-2008 Ford F150 S-Crew in Dark Shadow Grey, Black Leather
-2007 Nissan Altima in Frost White, Black leather
-2003 Mustang Cobra Convertable in Mineral Grey w/ Silver Pearl Ghost flames, charcoal leather with light grey alcantara inserts.

Am I on the right track? I intend on making most of the intial purchace prior to my return home. I am most likely going to use up the SCG stuff and then pop for the Blackfire prior to the end of the summer. Thank you in advance!!!
