    So, there's a new UPP formula???

    Here's what I've read: "My supplies needed a little boost in a couple areas so I put in an order for some more Platinum. UPP has been tweaked yet again it appears. Its thinner than the last version and doesn't spread quite as well. The pay off is when you buff it off. I didn't think that...

    I'm not going to detail 'only' after all

    As in my initial ideas when started working with cars, I'm about to take other steps car care related. I had talked to a friend of mine who's a painter for the Volvo dealer in town a while ago, and we made an arrangement for him to help me when I needed some-kind of touch up in a car or so...

    I have two days for this one

    3 1/2 years old, always washed in auto wash machines. No shine in the paint. So far (lunch time) it was washed and clayed, wheels washed and tar removed, wheel wells cleaned, Leatherique applied to the leather. Now it's parked under the sun.

    Post a picture of yourself

    I saw a picture of Steve (Poorboy) on another forum (guess he does eats donuts :D ), so, as I'm testing a software to make from my home PC a http server, I'll post a picture of me on the trunk of a black BMW I did sometime ago. Edit: It works!

    Possible Mercedes contract

    Today I went to our MB dealer where a friend of mine works as a salesman. I went there to offer the services of my company. While I waited for his chief I could sneak a peak at the CLK MB on the show room, great looking € 60.000 cars.... full of swirls . Well, a good example of what I wasn't...

    What I had to do today

    Someone did this trying to polish this Alfa Romeo: I had a hard time with this hood, glad I had bought some more abrasive stuff. I had to do 4 passes with Presta Ultra Cutting Cream, with a Lake Country cutting foam and the rotary. Then I cleaned the haze left with the PC w/ Megs cutting...

    UPP bonding or not: How to tell?

    Let's say I apply it over a surface containing oils, or carnauba. How can I tell it's not bonding? How do I know it's ok or not? Thanks

    GRRR- Water spots.

    Second time this happens to me in two weeks. Today I went to some store and I parked my impeccable bright car close to grass. It was middle afternoon, I didn't even thought those guys were so stupid to start the watering (?) at 4PM, on a hot sunny day. But they did, and the left front side of...

    A questions about PC use:

    I've just tested the PC and it's so soft! takes a life to break in anything! (comparing to the rotary) So easy to use, but at speeds above 4 it started rotating, isn't that normal? Is it something to avoid? It's just that with the rotary, when the product start to break, I usually reduce the...
