If I corrected to perfection every customer's car that came to me for a wash I'd be a broke detailer. Just something to consider when looking at the specifics of a situation like some of the above. I don't always successfully sell that needed paint correction, but I won't refuse to properly wash...

Yes, I had (and have) a Mongoose Blue Max (sold @ military PXs) that came with a nickel finish. I believe there may be some Motomags that came with that finish as well. I have a Motomag I'm restoring (going to powdercoat) along with an early Expert with the embossed BMX logo on the head tube. I...

Joe, you got that right. While FG400 is my go-to, I've tried every product mentioned in this thread except the Scholl's, and I own most of them, the FCC and CC is amazing stuff. Griot's is really stepping up their game

I just did one of these on Friday. Truck sat in El Paso driveway for years, now back in Austin. Had to go to FG400, tried AIO (xmt360) and polish (205) w poor results. Went through almost 20 orange pads as it gummed up fast.

I'll be in Houston next week Wednesday through Saturday and can meet to show tips and talk about Mike's class, as I just went in January. I'm also meeting up with a Houston friend who went to the class in Jan as well. PM me your info - I'll be near 610/I10

Great meeting the Chicago guys, Bruno and AJ, the CR crew and seeing Mike, Bob, Pete and Jared again. It's been an absolute pleasure working with these folks. Time for some sleep, but I'm sure you will hear more as soon as I get back to Austin

I'm definitely looking forward to this and I appreciate you extending the offer, Mike! It will be good to see you, Bob, Jared and Pete again and to work with the rest of the team working on this episode! I'm booking my flight and hotel today!!

Surprised the 540k hasn't been mentioned yet...

Cheers to a great birthday for you today my friend! Bust out some EmergenC and rest (haha) on that cold.

Hmmm - is that a Z console? Did you just rub on it with your finger or use microfiber or some other kind of media?
