$500 dollars spent this week on a new and redone Detailing Arsenal

***Crewchief*** · 07-06-2007, 02:30 PM

This is what I got:

PC 7424
Mothers Large Buffer Ball
2 CCS 6.5" Orange Pads
2 CCS 6.5" White Pads
2 CCS 6.5" Blue Pads
1 CCS 6.5" Gray Pad
1 5 inch backing plate
XMT Pad Condtioner
XMT Pad Cleaner
Optimum Hyper Compound
Optimum Polish
Optimum Opti-Seal
Poorboy's Natty’s Paste
Mcguire's Gold Class Car Soap
Mcguire's Clay bar
Simple Green
Black Magic Wheel Cleaner
Bugs be gone by seam foam
Oxy Clean Carpet Cleaner (for the floor mats)
Mcguire's NXT interior
Stone Invisible Glass
Menzerna Finishing Glaze
Pinnacle Crystal Mist
12 Pack of Cobra Microfiber towels

Got my stuff through autogeek.net, ebay.com, and the local car stores.

I really love detailing my car but never really knew what i was doing. I used to wash, clay, and wax, that was it. After talking to DarkSTi I wasent even touching the surface of my paints true colors, the man really knows his sh*t. Well say goodbye to swirls and watermarks! I'm shooting to do this sometime soon, but weather.com says its gonna rain this weekend and next

. Now just have to do a little more research on how to apply and what speeds to use the different compounds, waxes, polishes, sealents, and glazes, lol.

I figured Since I have the new Gram lights 57F's its time for a new photoshoot and sig.

haha you were sadly mistaken my friend haha... ive probably got over $600 worth just sitting in my garage..including my PC and LGM...

***Datadatum*** · 07-07-2007, 03:00 AM

Ahh... I remember the detailing days fondly.

My car currently bears a beautiful sheen of bug juice, rock chips, road grime, and mud. The time I used to spend detailing goes into playing with my two children and domestic tasks.

I look forward to pictures of the efforts - be sure to do a BEFORE and AFTER so that we can truly appreciate your efforts!

DieselClown · 07-10-2007, 01:11 PM

very nice stuff. the natty's paste is great stuff, but I personally like how easy and glossy souveran is.

touchofdetail · 07-18-2007, 06:50 AM

Congrats, you have some great products there. lets put them to work and post results!

FleaDog · 07-18-2007, 05:52 PM

Porter cable + any decent mild polish will yield results waaaaaaay better than any hand job (not that kind) would ever do.

***reeksti*** · 07-18-2007, 07:24 PM

if you talked to ryan then im sure you car is going to be swirl etc free. My car had fine scratches all over and used some good quailty products and the paint is smooth and fine scratches are long gone.

STI 2004 · 07-20-2007, 06:33 PM

Gee, I think I spend $8 on a shell car wash last year. Might do the same later this year.

sti-06 · 07-23-2007, 09:56 AM

you forget this man. It is wax for ur wheels, other than giving shine it also helps brakes dust slide right off.
