    Pinnacle or XMT Clay?

    TWICE a year??? Shooot...I do mine once a year and don't get anything on the clay bar! Seriously though, that was my main reason for starting this tread. I clay mine once a year for my 'spring cleaning' and I get visible contaminants on my clay bar somewhere between extremely little and none...

    Pinnacle or XMT Clay?

    Been using Mother's clay for years with excellent results. I've even read a few articles around where Mother's clay is one of those very underestimated products, and just as good (if not better than) most 'boutique' brands. But, have been using a few more Pinnacle products as of late and...

    Playing with 7424 Speeds

    Do you guys have certian speeds you use for certain things, or does it just depend?? I recently started experimenting with the speeds on my PC just to see what it would do. I had some minor paint correction that I thought would requre something more than M205 on a white LC pad. I had never...

    After 205 But Before Wax

    I've always had great luck using a cleaner after the 205, such as Meguiars Deep Crystal System Paint Cleaner or Mothers California Gold Step 1 Pre Wax Cleaner. I think both remove any residues or oils left from the polishes and leave you a perfect surface for waxing or sealing. I've never...

    Cleaning BFWD from Pads??

    Ha! That was my first thought. Saving the pad just for that is a good idea, except noe I gotta buy more black pads for other products, LOL. I did not let it dry; I immediately went from the buffer to soaking in the Dawn. I'll re-attack and see what happens.

    SS II Redemption...One Last Question??

    Don't really care how it holds up! It doesn't show in the photo's but we lived in SoCal desert for sevearal years. The front of this is pretty well peppered with chips from normal life in the desert. Also, the front lower valance (just in front of the right wheel) is cracked from hitting a...

    SS II Redemption...One Last Question??

    So if you guys recall my other thread a few down about being extremely disappointed with the SSII? Well, I got around to doing my spring cleaning. I won't bore you with all the details, but this is two coats of BFWD and SS II on top. Already got dirty and washed once. Even while dirty, the...

    Refinancing a Home?

    You can't do an arm of any type with a VA, and I'm not interested anyways. Just because I want to unload this property doesn't mean the market will allow it in a few years. Not going to take that gamble, especially with todays interest rates. Besides, I don't think banks even do arms these...

    Refinancing a Home?

    8 of a 30 fixed. Supposedly only $950 for the VA funding fee. Need to check, but same bank so assuming not. Nope. This was a fluke...wasn't shopping. It just came up during a phone call. Phenomenal. Nope. Will be looking to unload it as soon as the market allows Another...

    Refinancing a Home?

    OK real estate pro's...got a question about refinancing. Got in touch with my current mortgage company about other items and got to talking about refinancing...so it's not some scam company that called me. Have an opportunity to refinance one of my homes and knock off a full interest point...

    The post your workspace / shop / garage thread!!

    One lucky thing about the midwest I guess...always get a basement. My house is 1970 sq ft, by basement is 1970 sq ft. Only 900 sq ft is finished so the remainder of all that is storage. I have a walk-out to boot so I installed a garage door on the unfinished side. Nothing goes in the garage...

    Advanced Swirl Remover??

    I have a brand new bottle of Advanced Swirl Remover...Where does this fit in a detailing line-up as I've never used or researched this particular product? What do you guys use it for? For reference, I've got pretty good Meguiars 105/205 experience, so comparing it to that may be beneficial...

    SSII...VERY Dissapointed...WTF???

    I get what you guys are saying, but why have I not experienced that in the past? For example...throughout the year (after a proper prep), I usually add a coat of Mother's several times here and there and it always works flawlessly. Why would this be any different...just because it's a...

    The post your workspace / shop / garage thread!!

    Agreed...lighting is crucial. I have 6 sets and can fully detail all night long with the doors closed. Heated, 4" slope for water run off, water faucet inside, insulated doors, custom 8' doors (just so my truck will fit) and just installed a 62" 9,500cfm ceiling fan today! Can't wait to try...
