Just got done cleaning the turbo with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash followed by Chemical Guys Black Light Hybrid Radiant Finish on an orange pad with a PC then topped with Todd Cooperider's Esoteric Signature Series Wax. It's 115 today and I'm happy I bought an evaporative cooler for the garage yesterday.






 
Cars looks great. How did that cooler work for the garge, just curious? What kind and how much? I have a 3 car garage and was looking into getting one, but I was on the fence about it. Let me know please if you don't mind. Thanks, much appreciated in advance.

This is what I bought: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Champion-...0#.UdCs0xbvNsg
I have a 2 car garage and it cooled it down some, but it was still really hot outside. I guess the max you can get is 20 degrees cooler with one off these vs any temp with an AC. I didn't get the AC because of the needed an exhaust.
 
Why not go for a mini-split A/C system? Usually they can be installed for less than $2500 and you get year round comfort. I installed one in my garage a few years ago, there's nothing quite like detailing a Harley in 70 degree temps when it's over 100 degrees outside! Totally worth the investment in my opinion.
 
Nice 911.

Is it me or is the paint a bit hazy? The yellow looks good but dosent look very clear. I dont mean to call you out and I am a fanatical BL user and wouldn't use anything more aggressive than a white polishing pad.
 
Sorry, forgot to mention, love the 911, definitely looks great! Never been a fan of yellow, but I think I could handle that one!

The paint was very clear without haze. I typically never use BL on anything other than a black pad. I really don't know why I reached for the orange pad today. I did enjoy the Esoteric wax. This was the first time I've used it and will always keep it available with my other waxes.

I looked at the car much closer last evening and your right the orange pad caused quite a bit hazing on many areas of the car - good call. I'll need to strip the wax and sealant and I'll use some Sonix Final Finish. I'll never use BL on anything other than a black pad!:dblthumb2:

Great. Glad I could help. I could see the hazing through the pictures. I felt that BL did cause the marring and wanted to point it out.

Sonax Perfect Finish will take care of the hazing and give MUCH clearer reflections. :props:
