Not all "high end stuff" weathers well when there is a shortage of funds. Given a choice of detailing with an inexpensive item vs. a high end...
Zymol Concours (a tad over the target price, but very near so consider it!), Glasur or Carbon; Victoria, or Pinnacle Souveran are my recommends.
Its about time. It is great that they started with their sampler kits, because some of those retail prices really beg the question of their...
I've used field glaze in the past with mixed results. IMO I feel that it adds just a tad too much unsettled haze to the zymol finishes, and it...
I always use Blue Magic polish with great results. It removes oxidation and adds sheen to the finish, and its non-abrasive, so its great with...
The start of a detail job. It seems to take forever to get going!
My first wax(es) were Gliptone's Carnauba paste Wax (it was really a cleaner wax), and the classic "Simoniz" (the one you could not leave on your...
Nice job on the Escalade! Some swirls can be tough, but it looks like the pad combo and the ramp up to the aggresssive polish worked nicely. I...
Very pretty shade of green. Nice results.
That is an ambitious detailing job. Hats off to you for tackling a tough job by hand. It reminds me of the old days. Nice color and lsp result....

^That area presented an interesting op in terms of lighting. I found that spot by chance a couple of years ago and I wanted to include it in this...
It takes roughly 30-45 minutes on the taping. I will cut back with covering the windows next time (due to my early experiences with scattering...
I have found (with later attempts) that when I apply it to the pad then I could control the splatter. The first few times when I started with the...
Thanks, I appreciate the comment. I am a little lazy with taking pics during the detail, but in reality the 50/50 shot is a good indicator of how...
Last two: [IMG] [IMG] So far it seems that the wax and paint are still cooperating. Unfortunately I was (very) late in starting my wax routine...

I was finally able to detail my signature car #1, and I'm showing the results of the work. The camaro didn't need quite as much paint correction,...
