I washed a really dirty CL600 today and figured I would try out the Menzerna Wheel & Tire cleaner. I also documented Poorboys Spray & Rinse wheel cleaner. This is not a side-by-side test of the two but rather just two wheel cleaners I tried out at the same time. Here is the Poorboys wheel...

While in the process of applying a clear bra on a Porsche Boxster S today I notice his other car, which is a black Cadillac CTS, covered in swirls and ugly scratches. He asks me if we have time to polish out just the hood. While Ron left to do another car I started polishing the CTS hood...

I have seen alot of flame wars starting here on Autopia over how some people use certain phrases or words. One case in point is the use of "QD", which is short for "Quick Detailer". There are alot of products out there now, and coming out soon, that have QD qualities or likeness but are not a...

I get alot of comments from folks when they see me drag out this black case. It holds my Cyclo, Metabo and my DeWalt. It is pretty tough, seems to hold up well in wet weather and it protects and keeps my polishers out of sight. here is the case closed Here are some random pics...

Houston.......we have a go! I repeat, Houston we have a go!:D (slight fanfare) I am being shipped, as I type, 4 quarts of Optimum Car Polish:bounce Man I have been using this stuff now for some time and speaking about it and it is FINALLY being packaged and sold! This is one great polish...

Ron (Dent's & Detail's) and I on Saturday did an Xpel (clear bra) install on a 2005 Silver Porsche GT3. We had previoulsy installed a kit on this clients 2002 Guards Red 911 so when he bought this new beast he wanted it detailed and a full kit installed to protect it also. We begin the...

I am posting this here because there are some new pads I am working with to be used on the Cyclo. These are not pads in the traditional sense but rather sanding discs attached to firm foam pads. I called around to some companies and then spoke with the people at Cyclo and asked if they could...

Well as I had proposed, and it seems at least one other member agrees with me, a form of some sort for product testing would be great. Now I know I am not a moderator here nor the one who makes the rules but I think this would be a great way to better communicate ones review of a product to...

I am not sure if this is the correct thread to post this, apologize if not. If a moderator feels it needs to be moved to a more proper area please do so. Without naming the forum, I do not wish to start anything here as this is not the intent of this thread, but last night I was banned from...

Detailed these two Porsche cars over the weekend. The Silver C4S was polished with LC white pads and IP followed by FP. Hand applied Victoria Wax and then topped with Optimum Car Wax. Yellow GT3 is a regular and because of that a go around with some FP and then some FMJ was all she needed. A...

As many of you know I had some samples sent to me of a new acrylic sealant called "ShoKar". I will post a link to that review for those interested in reading up on it. http://autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=48594 This is a beautiful Electric Blue R32, also known as a...

Did one Porsche yesterday and the other today. On the yellow GT3 (pictures coming soon) I polished with Menzerna IP then FP, both applied with white Cyclo pads. FMJ by hand and then topped with Optimum car wax. The silver C4S was polished with FP, Victoria paste wax was then applied and...

I was sent some time ago two samples of ShoKar acrylic cleaner and sealant to test out. I have had them with me for some time now and had only done a panel or two on various cars but today on one of my regular washes I decided to do a whole car with them. After washing and drying I broke out...

I have added a few product choices to my arsenal and also deleted a few and would like to see what others have added and also deleted. For washing I have been using Poorboys http://www.poorboysworld.com/super-slick.htm and also the new Optimum Car wash...

Ron and I detailed this Turbo this morning (along with the help of my brother who is visiting from CA.). New client with 4 more cars lined up for us after this one. We have no BEFORE pictures as it was early when we started and the camera wouldn't pick up the the halo scratches that covered the...

Did an early morning RE-detail on this C2 this morning. It is a RE-detail as he wanted me to show him how to apply some of the products he bought. I washed it with his new 1Z shampoo which was my first time also and I really liked it. Suds well and they lasted the whole wash also. After...

Once owned by Jesse James this Murcielago found its way to San Antonio Porsche. I detailed it yesterday, along with my partner Ron (who removed a ding in the passenger door) and I was able to snap a few pics off before the new owner drove away. Hard paint covered this baby and it really...

I have been designing a paint correction system for the Cyclo and now have some rough "prototype's" of the correction pads from Cyclo Toolmakers and thought I would share with you all how the testing is going. I won't get into exactly what these news pads are, nor show any pictures of them...

I have been using the Opt Car Wax for some months now so David, the maker of Optimum, sent me some of his car wash to try out. David told me that the car wash is formulated to boost or enhance OCW. While I don't know if that is true what I do know is that this car wash is top notch. Great...

As many of you know, and for those who don't, I have been working with Cyclo Toolmakers on a new selection of pads specially designed for the Cyclo which will move the Cyclo into a whole new area of detailing. This area will be "paint correction" which until now has been reserved for the...
