Ok, NC Detail Fest, June 30th!

[delikid]

Well, all you folks who attend the NC Fest... With a lil sweet talking, I've managed to secure a GALLON of the CG ONE! Not for free, mind you. But, it's on it's way! I was told that ONE will be up on the CG site "soon" for sale...

When it gets here I'll try to get it on my G35 and pop up some pics.

* thanks Brandon for demo-ing the CG ONE! Amazing results!

Thanks for coming everyone! I am at a slow internet connection at my beach place, so it will be tomm. before I can see the pics and vids.

We definatly have to have this again very very soon, tons of fun and was a great time with great people.

Brandon, thanks for your generosity! What a great garage, and it was spotless.I'm still blown away by the change in the truck. Thanks to everyone! I learned a lot, and really appreciate everyone who attended.

Like Junebug, I was really impressed by wool.

The MG heavy cut was great on the UDM, which broke it down and was able to achieve most, if not all of the correction that the Makita rotary accomplished. But what the Makita with wool did in 1 or 2 minutes, the UDM took about 10 minutes to accomplish.

The "clay" foam block from Majestic was very interesting. No marring that we could see. I don't think I'll be replenishing my supply of clay.

CG ONE was wiped on a filthy bumper, and appeared to remove all the dirt without marring.

I'll report back on the durability of MG 21 vs. DG 105 vs. Victoria wax.

Did any of you NC-ers discuss on local options for Detail Products? I really only know of Duragloss & going to Carquest in Raleigh for paint refinishing. Looking for Presta/Wool.

SilvaBimma, I think I speak for the group when I say you should try Majestic Solutions. They have Edge pads - foam and wool, both the 2K and velcro ones. Their products are better and cheaper than OTC stuff. I'm greatful to Brandon for turning me on to the Pro-poly, Bug off, and Spray Shine. I like DuraGloss, but, MS gives a better value (IMHO) They also sell Malco products - an old name in auto paint care, and I believe Malco makes products for Presta - I'm not sure but I heard that somewhere. Personally for polish and compound - I use Optimum OP and HC. Next time - BE THERE!

Ok, the pics and vids turned out fantastic!!! I really love all of them.

Silverbimma-Me and June are probably going to MS about once a month now b/c of the products they have. I think they are an incredible value for the performance, and the guys there seem really smart and nice. I am buying all of my replacable stuff from there now on.

Looked like a lot of fun. I was busy Sat afternoon and wish I could have been there. I hope to be at the next one.
I actually was at Majestic Solutions yesterday. I got some Wash n Wax, Green Stuff APC, and some new kind of dressing that I can't remember the name of. I've never tried any of their paint finishing products, but I like all the cleaning, dressing stuff I've used.

[SilvaBimma]

Thanks for the info. If I'm actually in town I'd love to come out, but that's only 2 months in the year. I'd be happy to grab some accessories/tools/cleaners. I'm picky about my polishes and protectants however.

[Brandon1]

Let us know when you are in town and we will work around you Bimma!

Thanks Brandon (Which is actually my name ). I'll experiment more with Majestics. How about a date in December? If not next summer I'd love to start setting up meets with local car forums.
