Why didn't you tape off the L/F marker light? LOL Other wise an excellent job on a sweet ride.

Since buffing the car w/Ultimate Compound and coating it w/Collinite, here's what it looks like after a simple wash & application of Mother's Spray Wax:

I HAD a nice detailed write-up about my first encounter between my Camaro, my PC and Megs Ultimate Compound, but due to the wonders of technology, I lost the whole thing, and I am NOT typing it all over again. Suffice it to say that the previous owner of my car did great with mechanical...

... what it says underneath your avatar?

I am picking up the 2013 tomorrow (12/27/2015). So in a little more that 16 hours, THIS will be the view from my front window:

October 31, 2006 - December 11, 2015 The insurance company called me today, they're going to total the Aerio :unsure: The Kelly Blue Book Value is ~$1,700 and they are going to give me a bit over $3,700 and pay the taxes on the next car I buy. I've already talked to a good lawyer and being as...

Hit by an OVI driver the other night (pics) UPDATED!!!! UPDATE I have a confession to make, I am CURRENTLY an LEO and my reaction to chase her and cut her off was purely instinctual, nothing more, nothing less. ALSO, my wife got a call from her insurance adjuster this morning, who lied and...

Having decided that I really like CG Spray Wax, I figured I would "test" it the way a non-enthusiast would, just to see how well it holds up. It is advertised as being good for use as a 1) Drying Aid, 2) A Booster Wax, and as a 3) Stand Alone Product. It is as a stand alone that I intend to...

Originally, I went to the parts store to pick up some Meguiars Gold Class Spray wax, but they were out, so I picked up some Mother's California Gold instead. I washed and dried the car, I could have used the CG as a drying aid, but I chose not to as I wanted to see how well it worked as a...

I've used 845 with excellent results and I wanted to try the 476s that I have in the garage. The problem is that even a little bit of the wax wants to 'overload' my polishing pad make it "collapse" to where it's nothing but a thin wafer. I had a similar problem with Ultimate Paste on a finishing...

I'm of in a few minutes to detail the leather interiors of a Porsche Cayenne (tan) and Land Rover (brown). They are only a few years old, so let's hope they're in good condition (I'm ready if they're not, but it would be easier if they are). I believe this is a test, I'm being judged on how...

My dad has been in a funk lately, he has Parkinson's and it's really made his life rough. But recently he's gotten some of his piss & vinegar back and has been working on his '79 'vette. He doesn't drive anymore so I help him when he needs to run errands. Well the vette has been in his garage...

I just picked up some Mothers VLR (vinyl, leather, rubber) cleaner-protectant as a follow up product to Meguiar's Gold Class Aloe Leather/Vinyl Cleaner to remove any residue left from cleaning some leather seats and add a bit of protection ... I gave up on getting 303 AP on time for Saturday...

I have been researching leather for the past week in anticipation of two detail jobs I have coming up. The cars are 2013 (Porsche) and 2014 (Land Rover) so I'm guessing that they both have coated leather interiors. I have my cleaner (Meguiar's Gold Class Aloe Leather and Vinyl cleaner), but now...

Thanks to all who have provided input on what leather cleaner I should get for an upcoming detail on a Porsche and a Land Rover. So far I have narrowed it down to a few possibilities. Let me know if I'm forgetting anything: Pinnacle Leather & Vinyl Cleaner Wolfgang Leather Cleaner Leather...

The wife and I went to visit her dad in rehab yesterday and stayed to watch a physical therapy session. He did better than we imagined he would, making the exercises look like they were child's play. When he was done we went back to his room where we talked and all he wanted was to get out of...

Hey all, before I get into the details, I know, I underbid the jobs so go ahead :bonk: I was contacted by PM by a member who originally asked for a 'basic' detail on a 2013 Porsche Cayenne with tan leather interior. I told him that my 'basic' was Exterior: wash, polish, seal, tires dressed and...

I think the problem with pollen is that it's abrasive (think pointy) and tends to stick to whatever it lands on like a dart or Velcro. It kind of reminds me of those little burrs that attach themselves to your pant legs while walking through the woods, those little buggers will even attach...

IT WAS THE PADS!! So like I mentioned earlier, I was going to use a Meguiar's yellow polishing pad to see if I had any better luck applying the Ult Liquid... MAN DID I EVER! 4 dime sized drops to prime the pad and that amount did the entire hood, 4 more drops, the entire roof and 2 drops the...

I've used both waxes now, the liquid and the paste and I can honestly say that neither of them play well for me with my PC. I tried the paste first, and I had to use a ton of product to even get any of the wax onto the paint that I went through a can much faster than I should have. So when I ran...
