I'm not sure what is happening, Guz. I'm using WIndows 10 and Chrome Version 48.0.2564.116 m. Here's what I see when loading the page. Maybe because these are stored on AG? Check out this video.

Rehosted them elsewhere. You guys should be able to see them now.

Foam bath using Pinnacle XMT car shampoo on my dad's Camaro. Don't have an after photo but I finished it off with some D156.

I foamed mine with Optimum Car Wash.

Mines coated with Ameriarmour. Pulled it into the garage blew the water off with the DP Car Dryer and finished it off with some Pinnacle Black Label Coating Booster. It wasn't needed but the gloss was amped.

I ended up re-coating my tires again with 3 coats of DP Tire Coating.

Re-coated the tires with 2 coats of DP Tire Coating. Used the Sidekick to dry the tires in between coats. Speeds up the drying process.

Got 1/2 through polishing out a few annoying scratches in my windshield with Ceriglass last night:



Called it a night when my back could take the strain of reaching into the center/applying prolonged downward pressure any longer. Round 2 starts tonight :)
 
I'm getting ready to move my supplies and tools to a new garage :) I'm excited. I ran into a few issues with detailing at the dealership (nothing negative, just logistics) so I found a nice garage to call home. I've been itching to detail so get ready to be flooded with more "before and afters" soon!

Haven't done glass stuff myself. So don't really know what's involved.

But seriously. ..i definitely need to use some real glass polish on my 2009 windshield. Has lots of tiny chips or scratches in it. Looks like bugs in direct sun but its not....factory ws so not wanting to replace it just yet. Already saved a chip from running back in 2010 and its still safe.

Ceriglass is super messy though i see

Yup. Glass polishing is a mess because you CONSTANTLY have to re-wet Ceriglass in order to keep it in a slurry consistency allowing the abrasives to work. Otherwise it'll dry out in the blink of an eye. Using a small atomizer sprayer filled with water is key.
 
Just finished polishing out the windshield- man glass polishing is terrible. I do not recommend it unless it's an absolute last resort.

glad I'm not the only one that thought the white sprayer on the dilution ratio bottle was junk. replaced mine with the same grey spraye

I haven't used any of them since the first day I got them. I tried it once and chunked it into a box of parts lol. They are strictly back ups because they are crap. Hopefully ACC will change to at least something like the Poorboy's sprayers. They can't be much more expensive.

The bottles have been awesome though. Love that they are shorter and don't fall over. One of my dilution bottles just broke at the thread yesterday. First time for everything I guess.

I disliked the grip and how the nozzle sprayed but kept using it. one day it finally stopped spraying and I swapped it out.

I agree with the bottle though, they are nice. big footprint but it fits into small shelvings better. haven't had my threads strip yet
