Nice Work!

Do you extract with a LGM, shop vac, or professional extractor?

Spilchy · 07-12-05, 07:01

Wonderful!

The interior looks great, not to mention the turn around on those wheels. My folk's have two of the exact same cars and I know the brake dust is a PITA

I'd like to hear about your experience with the CG compounds - application, technique, ease of use, sun friendly, etc...

What did you extract with? Bissell? ShopVac?

Again, excellent work.

I use a 5hp Ridic Wet/Dry Vac. It works great! Take out the filter and off you go!
Spilchy, I'll write up a review on the CG compounds later tonight. They work pretty well for the value. Oh, and those wheels.... Wow, those were HORRIBLE. Im glad they cleaned up so well. I'm hoping the NXT will make it easier next time. I need to get the wheels off for her and do the back of them.

I like it. Need to dress those wheelwells though.

What did you clean the wheels with?

randomman84 · 07-12-05, 08:39

i used A2Z. Oh, forgot to mention... my gf helped with this one. Great detailer she is. Actually she did the carpets.. lol I totally didnt think about it.. Been at work all day.

Excellent work! Paint is noticably deeper and darker looking.
