... Some halogen lamps! I was startting a detail of my STI today, it was partly cloudy at first, but then got cloudy. I was working on some tough winter swirls so I needed some light. I went to Home Depot and bought a 2 500w halogen with tripod setup. It was like night and day . I cant believe I...

Didnt have time for pics, sorry:(. I suck at reviews but... I got mine free as a giveaway item. I tried it out on my '06 STI. I used my new 5G AG wash system (which kicks ***! Great product!) It wasnt too dirty except for the sides. Just to be fair, I powerwashed off the really heavy...

I have 3 coats of FMJ on my car, and am going to put 2 or 3 coats of pink wax on next few washes. I went up to the lake today and went some gravel roads :nervous2: , and was actually HAPPY how dirty my car was :nervous2: :scared: . I was thinking it gave me a reason to wash my car sooner :). At...

This was over this last weekend. I traded in my '01 Cobra for a Obisdan Black Pearl 2006 Subaru WRX STI. Of course it came with dealer installed swirls, and some bad water spots. It also had a weird haze on the paint. Process: QEW Clay w/Spray and Wipe On areas with bad Water Spots/Swirls...

I just got a Mezerna sample kit and wanted to try it out. My '01 Cobra Had Some Minor to Moderate Swirls + Scratches. I had tried SSR 2/2.5/3 and DACP before this. I am now a Mezerna fan! I used IP on a Light Cutting Pad on 6 and FP on a Polishing pad at speed 5/6. I topped with one coat of Z-2...

Ok, on most aggresive polishes (2.5/3/IP/83) they are to be worked until they start dusting. I do that, but then when i wipe off the dust, it will leave minor swirls/scratches where i just polished. I usually use a Plush MF and Adams DS. Does anyone have any tips?

I got a chance to try Souveran on top Natty's and i liked it. I did a swirl mark detail last week and used: SSR 2.5 SSR 1 PwC Natty's i forgot to take pics :( But i washed the car again today and all it needed was some wax. Bonus: Beading Before Washing: I used: NXT Wash Souveran...
