    My 3D/HD plan for my 09 Shelby

    Speed is one that I don't have yet. I've read SO much good stuff about it, but I've never used an AIO. Guess I always thought it was kind of a cop out! lol I agree with how Polish finishes out. I like it as much as or better than SF4000. I didn't have much success last year correcting with it...

    My 3D/HD plan for my 09 Shelby

    I have, but I've never done one. I've only seen 1 car that had one done & it didn't impress me that much. I'm in a small Indiana town & I've never had a customer ask for a coating. I do the wife's Caddy SRX with Wolfgang every year, & I've thought about trying their coating out. I emailed Nick...

    My 3D/HD plan for my 09 Shelby

    In recent years my spring Shelby detail has been all Menzerna. FG400, SF4000, & PL. Then over the summer I'd throw a coat of CL on it as a refresher before car shows. Last year I bought a bottle of HD Polish & fell in love with it. So over this winter I snagged some more 3D stuff. I've now got...

    ONR & Road Salt

    I do our cars in my garage with ONR when it's below freezing outside. I use light pressure & rinse bucket, & I've never had any issues. They always get a proper detail in the Spring anyhow.

    Throw LC pads away?

    They're not clay. You can get the grit out of pads.

    Thanx! When I was in the navy I spent some time up in Maine, & I know exactly what you're talking about!

    Sitting here on a frigid Indiana night

    Wishing it was detailing season. Last year was a really good one from a detailing standpoint. I don't own a shop or anything, just detail on the side. I did 19 cars last year, including the ones here. The extra money is great, but I also really enjoy the look on people's faces when they see...

    Hey Mustang guys...

    A lot of the Mustang forums are, unfortunately, populated by kids who want to talk crap. Like you, I'm a tad too old for that. I always liked The Mustang Source. Some cool guys there who like to help. Since I have a Shelby now I hang out more at SVTPerformance.com.

    Share a picture of your last detail job for 2015!

    2015 was a very good year for me. I don't own a shop or anything, I just detail on the side. I did 19 cars last year, including some fun ones. A '57 Chevy, a 2012 Shelby GT500, a 2004 Mystichrome Cobra, a 2003 Cobra vert, a 2002 Camaro SS, & a 2009 Pontiac G8. But the pics, as requested here...

I'll be going with 5000k color. The bulbs are available in different wattages, & my question is which watt...

    Fuzion or Natty's Red?

    I've topped WDGPS with both. One thing I found about Fuzion was it really seemed to attract dust a lot more than Natty's did. But as time goes on I'm more & more with Bob. I'm so happy with Menz PL & WDGPS that I don't really top with carnauba much any more.

    Nice work! Ruby Red is my favorite Ford color. The wife & I are planning on getting either an F-150 or Explorer in that color.
