My dad decided to pick a couple packs up for me when he was at Costco a few days ago, kind of a suprise I guess. I can't remember the last time I had some of these, but they don't seem too bad...Or maybe they're a bit higher quality now than before? They don't seem too bad, I've been using them...

I liked my Jeep before, now I freakin LOVE it! It's so much fun to drive! I'm gonna let the springs settle for a few weeks then I'll test er out off road :dnaughty It's a 92 Wrangler YJ 2.5 ltr, 5 spd. 4" Rough Country lift on 33" BFG Muds with 15X10" Rockcrawlers A bit tight, some new...

I did a quick clean-up on my fathers work truck on Sunday and his other rig this afternoon, I hit both of them with AIO by hand with minor "buffing" by hand, both trucks have a fairly nice glow now and are slick as can be, but I'm curious about the durability of this product in a typical CA...

I know we can only post pictures of our own vehicles but I'm proud of this one and wanted to share. It's a neighbors black 2002 Yukon XL and I've got permission to post up pictures. I know my word is hard to take but I'm going to push a button or two and see what happens :) Not the best of the...

I had a dark blue Nissan Quest to detail today with medium to heavy swirling, TONS of fallout (I've NEVER washed a car and had it feel like sandpaper. And this thing was only 4 years old...). I finally ran dry of my Optimum Hyper Compound so I stopped in the supply store this morning and bought...

I thought QW+ was gone, but I was just on the site and still see it there and it says its been reformulated? If it is available can those of you who use it share your thoughts? I'd like to get that instant "pop" after a wash and this sounds like the ticket. And what about products that are just...

I guess this question applies to those that llive ain areas where little to no rain is seen during Spring/Summer... What do you guys do during the winter, or what are your plans for this year? Yesterday/Today is our first rain of the season, so I figured it's best to get a part-time job to help...

Let's put some faces to names around here, I know there's been pics tossed around the site before but I don't think I've ever seen a thread related to this Here's a recent pic of me Let's see s'more, folks! Dolan Edit: For some reason my pics not showing up on page?

Came up with a design I like and will hopefuly keep for a while :) Car in the backround is my neighbors '68 Camaro topped with nothing other than Natty's :cool: Dolan

In light of Joyrride's recent energy drink review, I decided to make a thread and see who here is a soda/pop drinker and who doesn't drink much of it or none at all. I myself used to drink at least 6 cans a day, about 2 years ago I started cutting it out and for about 9 months I didn't drink...

I detailed a black Hyundai this morning, the owner gave me an old 3M Waffle pad that he had lying around, I figured I'd try it out and see how it compared to the Edge 8" Wave Blue pad. Right from the start I noticed that the 3M pad felt coarser than the Edge pad. 3M Pad:I put 2 pencil thin...

Recently I've seen two brand new Lexus' that looked WET! Being brand new I assume they didn't have any wax on them but the clarity/depth of the paint blew me away. The first one was a black GS300 that I was next to at a stop light downtown. The right side of the car was flawless, it looked like...

My sister caught the fence in her yard Wednesday afternoon while pulling into the driveway. When she told me it took out a chunk of the post I feared for the worst. She brought the truck by yesterday and let me examine the damage, to my amasement there was more paint transfer than anything...

Did some side work for a couple neighbors this weekend, short of the 100+ degree temps. both were easy, relaxing weekend details First up, an 05 Tacoma Double Cab equipped with the Sport Package. My neighbor commutes down to the East Bay during the week and his rig sees quite a few bugs so he...

Came across this in the detailing section of another forum. Says it's lab tested to last up to 5 years. HA! http://www.gem-industries.com/chemicals.php Anyone every tried this stuff or any of their products?

First up, the Sierra. This was for my brother-in-laws boss, I don't think I'll ever understand why he bought a black vehicle for work... It was in more or less good shape, just covered in dirt. I feared that the paint would be rough and swirled to hell but after a good washing it was in much...

A good friend of mine's dad got a free detail from a local body shop. It was their "$250 day spa special". They had the chance to use it on the truck or their Audi, I keep the Audi up on a regular basis so they took the truck there, a White Ford F-350 CCLB. Exterior isn't in bad shape, needs...

Scored this detail last week and got to do the work today. The owner is the manager of a new car audio shop in town and was kind enough to test me and my friend with his personal rig. It's not completed as of yet, but there's lots of work to come. Tons of suspenion changes, performance goodies...

I really dig my Optimum Hyper Compound, it always gives great results, but I'd like to find a compund that leaves less hazing than HC. I've tried it via green and yellow Edge pads but even with the green polishing pad it leaves a very light haze behind. I realize compounds will do this, but is...

Just curious, what do all of you use for your final polish or as a one step for the less picky customers? I really dig Presta's Swirl Remover for a finishing polish on any car, it leaves an outstanding gloss behind with no swirls/holograms. On lighter colored cars or for my not-so-picky...
