Hello everyone!! beautifal day for detailing. I had to were paints even! Well started at 730 and rushingly finished up at 330 becuase I had to leave town to babysit my cousins with my girlfreind. This vehicle was very very swirled up and It was hard not to grab the rotary but I stuck with the pc all day. I did use the rotary to clean my pad when it gunked up though. I put the pad on and then turn on the rotary and used a tooth brush to remove the buildup. Nothing like a $200 pad cleaner haha. Todays goal for the detail was to get a little flake pop. I left out some products that I often use and tried some new ones in hope of new results. ok enough talking. Here is the detail.

-Agitate with megs versa angle brush and HT bubbling suds wash

-I re-cleaned many areas on the engine as it was very bad.

Truck came out nice Greg. I'm sure the owner was very happy. I really need to get me some HT APC. Really excited to try it. How would you compare the HT Med. Cut to say SSR2.5?
 
HT med cut is a chemical abrasive and It kind of depends on what bad you use. I would say abrasiveness would be about ssr2? I wouldnt really reccomend it. Im just trying to kill of some bottles of polish that I never use.

Engines are done in the driveway and then they are dressed and glossed up the 2 car stall in my garage. All other work is done inside under my large lights in the garage exluding washing and claying.

Nice work Greg.

I am thoroughly enjoying reading all the products you use. I might have to give #40 a shot on of these days :).

The blue really looks great :).
