    hey guys. i took advantage of the great weather today and gave the GTI a bath and some different protection. i'll do a full spring cleanup when i have time. she was pretty dirty so i just foamed her down twice, did a two bucket wash, and protected with BF wet diamond. wheels got some werkstat AJT. also tried out the sonax wheel cleaner. i was surprised to find a good amount of bonded contamination on my cars paint, but i opted not to clay today as the finish is still pretty swirl free. i figured id rather not risk inducing any marring by claying untll i have the time to perform some light correction.

    oh and i got an old tripod to use from now on. thank god...

    Great video, I can't wait until my 2 cases of Sonax come in.

    Very nice results with the Blackfire and a nice assistant you got there.

    Btw, is that a DD Uber Sponge cut in half you're using the clean the rim? I do the same exact thing!

    lookin' great bro. I also did a light spring cleaning today on my Aurora, but I forgot to take pics.

    It's funny to see how involved your gf was at the start of the pics and how bored she looked at the end of the photo shoot ... lol.

    2 cases? how much is phil charging for a case of the stuff? yeah its a demoted Uber sponge. i use them on wheels.

    thanks kyle. that would be my lovely girlfriend. and she's giving my car a "bubble bath" kyle, not running the foam gun, lol. her words, not mine.

    thanks gianni. yeah she was all into it at first and then after like 3 hours she wasnt feeling it anymore...you should see her after spending the weekend with me during a 20+ hour correction.

    lol. nice.

    I'd hit that! Wow! Nice car as well! Any chance of a video of you foaming her or better yet, her foaming herself? Gilmour - not just for cars anymore!

    I ordered mine from Sonax USA, 2 cases (12 bottles/6 liters) came out to $170 shipped. So it's a little over $14 a bottle and I can only do it once so when I'm done with those bottles I'll have to get them from Phil. Hopefully, Phil will have the 5L containers by then.

    Emile Welcome to Detailing

    My 12 Sonax bottles came today, I can't wait to try this stuff out....it smells pretty nasty but the bottles and sprayers look awesome.

    I thought that the Sonax Wheel Cleaner is supposed to come with a special foam brush??? Did you get one from Phil, billybloo?

    thanks for the comments guys!

    Emile: while the spray pattern of the spray head is nice, i forgot to mention that i was a little displeased with the trigger. its a little too flimsy for my liking. feels almost like it might bend or soemthing. i dunno maybe it was just me. no i did not get any special brush or anything.
