Last time I’ve seen beads so nice I had ordered a NY style pizza and smeared the slices all over the car. Y’all keep your carnaubas, ain’t nothing like pizza grease! I ate the Chicago deep dish of course.. All seriousness, this pic could be taken in April 2021 and the 476 will still be there...

I seem to recall when reading about Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer, people have mentioned the Kenotek SRS as being quite similar. I haven’t used it myself but might be worth a look, it’s a very good spray detailer/sealant. I love the scent of Ech2o and highly recommend it as a spray detailer...

Hard to tell, my guess would be something from Toyota or Mitsubishi. I’ll do some research!

Lefty here too! The world wasn’t designed for us ergonomically it seems. I write and eat left handed but my right is my dominant hand. I tend to be ambidextrous when using hand tools, but with power tools, on/off switches or trigger locks, can certainly have me TRIGGERED!

Amazing work!! Thanks for sharing! Shop looks great too. May I ask, what do you use for the tires?

Re: Mellow Yellow 2-door Chevy Such beautiful cars, looking forward to the finished pics! Mike, testing products out on this detail?

I’ve been on the forums many years and I can’t believe I’ve not used the “Get Daily” tab on a regular basis! Maybe I never noticed it, but I always went a different route, which was “Quick Links” drop down menu and then “Today’s Posts.” This is so much more convenient, thanks for pointing...

They are wonderfully easy to use, high performing and pleasant smelling products. Although I do all I can to support AG and Autopia, it’s nice to know products like these are available in a pinch locally. I can honestly say I never would’ve bought these had it not been for AG carrying them.

I’m guilty of requesting a regional sub-forum, as this is an extremely welcoming forum and thought it’d be a great way for people to set up car, detail or swap meets. In saying that, I will also admit there may be too many sub-forums as it is, but not sure how much more it could be narrowed...

Very cool! Thanks for sharing, I think it’s awesome this is an annual trip for you and I assume TNcoupe. What’d you think of the C8 in person? Can’t believe you got in it!

A few years ago I worked with a budding astronomer and he taught me a few things about the sky. He showed me a few planets that can be seen with the naked eye, Venus, Mars and Mercury almost year round. I found it extremely interesting and I have a lot of respect for astronomers after many...

Looks good, hard to make white pop like that! I’m sure the owner, as well as yourself, are pleased.

This is great! Haha! Never would have guessed this, but I had a feeling it would’ve been something out of the ordinary.

Let’s do a butter vs margarine challenge.. it’ll be like Carnauba vs Synthetic. Btw, beautiful car in your avatar picture!

Something tells me Mike will reveal the product which is making these beads and when he does, will be a surprise to us all. I agree, nice looking symmetrical beads all around.

This sounds like a great plan! Looking forward to the finished products and further thoughts as it goes through winter

I wish I had the pleasure of working on your truck, but I will say based on the pics, that’s a beautiful truck and color combo perfectly befitting of it!

:iagree: Very thorough and informative post! Well worded and I completely agree. There may be times it’s not necessary, but if you plan to polish I’d wholly recommend it.

What did you use on the plastics previously? You just treated them for the first time a couple weeks ago or you’ve used these products long term and just recently this has happened? Think you’ll either have to look into trim paint or a more restorative product after getting this all cleaned...

You got this!!
