Hello Everyone!



My name is Allen. I actaully found this site when I was doing some research on wet-sanding techniques.



I am from Toronto Ontario and have a 2005 Sunfire. In the spring an summer time is go crazy on detailing. The car gets cleaned about every 2 weeks on a Sunday afternoon. My afternoon (which is about 3 to 4 hour process) consists of going to the Coin-op, going home, having a beer and drying the car, clay bar the whole car and then wax the whole thing again. It's a lot of work but when you make investments into your car, you want it to look good.



I am also into doing painting projects. Right now I am re-painting Beretta GTZ rims for my car.

I am looking forward to learning about some new products out there.



Cheers!

Allen

Hey Allen,



Welcome to the forums! Claying every two weeks is a bit extreme, but you will find a lot of extreme people here. :crazy: :shocked:



Please post up some pics of your ride or Beretta rims getting redone.



:wave:

Here are some pics. The pics of the rims were done with my Torch, so sorry about the quality.

Wonder if just having the tire taken off the rim may have saved you time and money?

Hi Allen. Welcome to the imaginary world of Autopia. Watch out, detailing is an addicting drug.
