So today was such a beautiful day out, that i decided i need to finaly wash the bird **** off my car, so i can over to the local auto store, picked me up

Mothers:
Clay bar
Pre-wax solution(remove old wax, contaimates)
California gold car wash
Stage 1 Polish
Glaze/Sealant
Liquid Carnuba
tire shine


Washed the car, pre-wax solutioned it with buffer, washed again, clayed it, polished it with buffer (didnt take the swirls out very good... i think my buffer is dieing), washed it again, glazed/sealed it, and waxed it.

Then i paid my sisters friend 5$ to wash the windows and vacuum the inside, because i was beat. Did this from 4:00 till 7:30, and im beat as hell. lol

pictures tomorow, since its now to dark for me to take a picture. results were fantastic though. When i run out of the mothers stuff i will be purchasing from juztang, but i got the cash today and it needed washed today so.. sorry juztang! lol

get a porter cable man...best detailing tool I have ever purchased.  Will cut detailing time in half and provide results that you would never achieve by hand

+1 about the PC. Its really nice. You can really get a nice finish on your car with one. Plus it will save you a ton of elbow grease!!!!
Its a real nice tool to have!

+18893 for the PC

I got one about a month ago and I absolutely love it. PC and Optimum package is the best thing I have purchased in a while. Well except for my car.

You should be careful with those cheapie buffers. I've seen one used before and the hazey mess it made of the paint was ridiculous, it took a lot of work to get all the marring out.

nahh it did a decent job, probably not as good as a PC, but it was okay... didnt get all the swirls out like i wanted it to, but thats for another day... lol

damn free automatic car wash with oil change


we have the most amazing automatic car wash in town... but, it leaves tiny swirl marks that make me angry
