Sticking to a handful of great products, I like it. My collection has gotten a little cluttered because I keep trying new things. But now I've found my staple products that I can commit to in the long run. V7, UWW+, Blacklight, BFWD, Supernatural, etc.

Wow, thank you SwanicyYouth!! I can imagine that my garage will someday look like that. =D Hopefully that organized too! I also see that you keep many sample-sized items on hand as I do. I have yet to buy a full bottle of BFWD or WG's sealant. I just keep getting the sample sizes with my...

I recently did my red mica Mazda 3 with Pinnacle's Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. I used a blue finessing pad on my GG DA at speed 2. My philosophy is that this product needs to be worked slowly like a Glaze. That slow speed takes time, but it also really eliminates slinging. I can't say...

Would you guys agree that a constant temperature and humidity is necessary for boutique waxes? If so, I may move mine inside and keep all of them in my portable bag. I normally keep the bag inside anyways simply because I don't like leaving it in the garage for spiders to explore... =O Hate...

Haha, I guess I never realized just how rough they are. I haven't spent much time in any speed3s outside of the absurdly smooth roadways near my home. If I were to own one myself I would certainly have to take that into account! I always assumed that they would handle similarly to the...

Lol lol lol. When I had my Wrangler, and now with my Miata, I only do full-roof details once a month or so. I'll gently scrub the roof at the beginning of a wash to get it clean. Then I'll follow up with Poorboys Natural Look. It leaves the soft top looking brand new every time! When I...

... ... ... lol I wish I had a nose like yours. I got my first experience of IronX a little while ago and I was absolutely horrified. When a friend asked how bad it smelled, I described it as "Everything dead and rotting, combined with sulfur and dead alien bug-babies." Yep, pretty awful...

My least favorite part of all time... even on a smaller car with a smaller roof this is no fun. I'm re-doing my Mazda 3 with FK1000P for a review, and I'm debating whether or not I even want to touch the roof since just did it recently anyways. Considering how small this car is, I'd say I...

Black Mica is probably my favorite color, tied with Winning Blue Metallic. 2nd Favorite would be the Velocity Red Mica on my own. The speed3s are definitely a treat to control with that torque steer, I can agree there. If you're not watching it, the thing will run you right off the road...

The black 3s look very very good imo. It helps hide the goofy grin on the front too. :xyxthumbs: The numerous folds and curves in the sheet metal catch the light on this baby, so they are a treat to clean! I can attest to it being a difficult car to keep clean for myself as well. I've...

Thank you! Post pictures! I'm very interested in seeing how other 3s turn out. I'm a huge fan of Mazda's metallic paints. :xyxthumbs:

Not too long ago, I purchased this 2011 Mazda 3 GTs. It had very few miles on it and came certified from the dealer. They did a number on the paint though... swirls everywhere. Because I didn't want to go thinning the clear coat without knowing more about it's current condition and...

I'm always interested in hearing how people organize their supplies. With me, it's always a battle of what can earn it's place in what tends to be very limited storage space. Attach a picture of your setup! Below is my newly re-organized supply stash. The majority of the things on my...

Thank you! I needed that. =D I just thought of that too. I may grab another driver to help me take both cars out to do a re-shoot with the entire MX-5 in the background. I also thought about placing it much much farther away in the background to add depth. Thanks! Thanks Mike...

Lately I've been messing around and attempting to create some original photography of my cars. This is my first finished product that I'd like to hear what you guys think! I figured that the "Show N' Shine" thread was the closest thing to the correct thread for photography. :xyxthumbs: In...

For anyone interested in getting cleaner hose-water on the cheap for washing your precious cars, here's my story. I'm always a fan of washing my car at home due to the overall lack of quality at commercial car washes. I will never EVER be seen at an automatic car wash, and I will only go to...

They certainly do last forever. My friend that now has my jeep (There I go again, calling it "My" jeep... ='( ... ) is nearing 150k with it I believe. Too bad he isn't a detailer at heart. Maybe I'll throw in free details for the sake of saving my baby. lol

***Scarred for Life*** Lol. Have any trips to a therapist since then? Im the MAN

That sounds like an amazing idea. Imagine the new customers that a few AG business cards could bring to our favorite supplier! I would definitely pass them out.

I think I only have 15-20 "good" microfibers that are dedicated exclusively to paint and glass. =D A few Cobras and a ton of those black "clean and buff towels" with orange trim which I love for their low price and decent quality. For trim, wheels, and everything else grimy I have...
