Wow. I'm floored if you can do that with 1 step and a DA. Sign me up!

Ok, you have got to quit showing me things I want, but can not have. Looks completely amazing.

Would you like me to come show you? I'd be more than happy to. You provide the clay, I'll drive out to Peoria, that sounds fair. Claying to me is a fast, methodical process. We aren't talking about a 60's Caddy with 19ft long quarter panels either. To the OP, car looks good. Glad you're...

These keep popping up and they give me a tingle every time. I LOVE my CTS-V, and I've loathed every Vette I've owned, but I don't know how long I can hold out before I buy one of these. That silver looks AMAZING.

This needs to be seen more. Very droolworthy. Someone has spent a couple bucks on that car.

My my, that looks good.

Thanks everyone for the compliments! I'm going to probably have a black 08 TBSS to work on soon. I'm no pro, I just do this as a hobby to keep my family and friends looking sharp. If that comes through I'll absolutely post pics! I do have a black 08ish Avalanche coming tomorrow or thurs...

Lately I've been practicing on friend's and family members cars. Trying to nail down how to work effectively, while keeping costs under control. This is my Dad's 2008 Impala LTZ. I love the guy, and he means well, but he kills the finish on every car he owns. He washes it regularly, at the...

Thanks for the kind words. It's less about the product, and more about knowing how to use it. I could give all these products to a monkey, and it would never obtain these results. Most enthusiasts could come close after a few solid tries. I've had a rotary buffer in my hands since I was 12...

For the past few years, basically since the day this truck was bought, I've been bugging the owner to let me fix it for him. He's had it for 4 years at this point, and finally gave in. Started off with Meguiar's Car Wash, just the regular $3.99 purple bottle stuff to get this as "clean" as...

Meg's Ultimate.

I just got pinged there were replies to this thread. I'll elaborate in the morning, but why not rent? Try it out and go from there? You could always move it back home if it didn't go as planned. It's your dream, try to achieve it.

Ok, here is my take on this. You're in a tiny postage stamp sized town. Will you do enough business to crack your nut? You need to be fully licensed, insured, all that comes along with a brick and mortar establishment. Who was the previous occupant? What was their standing with the...

Agreed. I'm looking for the most cost effective product. Hence why I asked if Finish Kare was concentrated. :props: If you have some IUDJ, I'd love to try it, and would gladly reimburse you for a sample. You're only 15 mins away from me at most. I'm right next to Park Ridge.

Yes, Meguiar's off the shelf clay and Ultimate Polish both times.

It should be, but it isn't. That is why I gave it another try. I put it on as thin as possible this time, and wiped immediately after covering a panel. I also changed towels constantly. Went through 12 16x16 towels on my CTS-V coupe. It's not a big car. I used 1 towel on the passenger side...

Can Finish Kare be diluted down? If not, it looks like 1 gal ONR will be the ticket. Garry Dean's IUDJ is just ridiculously expensive at $160 a gallon. That's almost as bad as printer ink!

Did you have any difficulty wiping the wax off? I just gave it a second chance on my personal car tonight, and it was still a pain to wipe it off clean. I ended up giving up 3/4 of the way through and going to Meg's Ultimate Wax, which went on easy and came off quickly.

On an A4 sized car, 30 tops. I did a G6 in less than 15 the other night with a "helper", and I use that term loosely. Solo, I just did a Trailblazer top to bottom in about 45. It hadn't been clayed ever, and was pretty neglected. If you did the car in the spring, it should be quick. As...

f2521, did you ever get a handle on this issue? Any pics?
