Thanks everyone for your kind words. I'm going to be doing a few more details for some friends, I'll be sure to post those up, too. Pete

I wasn't sure of what to use today, but I want to get some Pinnacle Souveran soon. I already ordered signature series, so maybe I'll try that next.

I let it haze before removal.

And finally, here are some after polishing and applying...Natty's Blue. I wanted to get the Zymol Titanium, but instead that money is going to go towards more AG supplies or the cars suspension upgrades I'm looking at... I wanted to get more sun shots that showed the swirls...

here are some pics from today, as promised.... Some befores that I took... And some during the detail...I was going to stop claying after this is all I got off of my hood and front end: But I kept going, good thing I did! After Claying, I gave her a quick foaming before moving...

outstanding turnaround! I always love your engine detail pics, can't get enough of them. :) Pete

you wouldn't use the HD Cleanse then?

I have: megs 16, 21, 26, Natty's Blue, Duragloss 105, Poorboys EX and EX-P, Zymol Japon (and HD Cleanse), P21S/S100, Collinite IW845 and 476, Klasse AIO and SG...I have Pinnacle SS on order, and I am considering making a trip to a local place to pick up some Zymol Titanium first thing in the...

its actually an SPT intake system (Subaru Performance Tuning), and since its made by Subaru, its warranty friendly, too! It doesn't come on the car stock, though. My CarDomain page in my sig has all my mods so far, if anyone is interested... Pete

My first show and shine! :awesome: Here are some before's and after's of the engine compartment detail I did tonight. Tomorrow, she's getting the whole enchilada, my gameplan: Wheels and tires cleaned with DP Gel wheel cleaner Wash with a strong mix of NXT wash Clay with Sonus green Polish...

try misting your MF with water before wiping off your sealant/wax. For some reason, it makes the removal much easier. Pete

or you could get a rotary + dynabrade (converts the rotary to a dual-action movement) Pete

most overlooked for me is the underbody. I think its important to get all the winter grime from salt and snow out from under the car come spring (if you live in an area that gets snow, that is). Not many people do this, IMHO... Pete

I actually enjoyed the movie, because I went in with low expectations. I don't see movies like Fast and Furious and this for the plot, character developement or dialoge...I go for the cars (and sometime, the women). :) On those 2 levels this movie did deliver. See it matinee! Pete

for rotary, wave pads don't build up heat as quickly. Otherwise they should have about the same correctling ability.

anyone use Zymol titanium? I'm going to pickup something in the 70.00 range soon, should I just get Souveran?

I use just plain water from the tap misted onto the suface I am claying...it works great and the price is right! :) Pete

if anyone has any menards harware stores local to them, they have a "Grit Trap" bucket combo, (basically a grit-guard) made by Black Magic for 7.00!

anyone use these on a rotary? I'm still looking for my ideal pad for my Makita. Pete

Kevin Farrel runs Kleen Car auto detailing, and his video is called"Buffing with confidence" Its really good and have PC, cyclo, and a LOT of rotay technique demonstrated. I recommend it! Pete
