Thanks! She likes it. She keeps on telling me that she is going to line me up some side work and that she has gotten compliments. It was good practice for me. I know I need to learn alot about paint correction, what to look for, and how to fix the problem the best way. I still want the VX-5000...

I am now finished! :xyxthumbs: I was to late to take a full car shot by the time I finished painting the wheels. I will try to get a pic tomorrow. There are a lot of chips and etchings in the paint. I don't think she realized how bad it was. I realize most of the pics don't seem to show much...

I will try to take some pictures of the carpet before I get to work on it so I can do a before and after for you all. There are two things that I am seriously considering getting and that is the Durrmaid Super 1500 extractor $640 (at time of this post) and the VX-5000 $800. I think I would get...

I haven't forgot about this thread. My 10 hour days don't give me any daylight when I get home. I did order a few things to see if I can improve on the results. Black Nitrile Gloves CG Carpet Brush for DA CG Upholstery Brush for DA CG New Car Scent 4 CG Chemical Resistant Bottles CG G6 Hyper...

I got home late yesterday so no pics of the exterior yet. I hope to get it today. Thanks for the replies everyone. The carpet and upholstery cleaner worked pretty good from what I could tell but the scent wasn't all that pleasant. I ordered some things to try to scrub the drivers side better...

Yea I will try to get them today. I don't know if I will have time or not since I will be working overtime. I don't have a foam applicator so that is likely my problem.

I have spent around 10 hours on this job. I am sore! I took some really crappy pictures tonight but I hope I can get some good pics some time tomorrow afternoon to share with everyone. I made some mistakes in the process that I hope to do differently next time. When I do this again I think I...

I wanted to do this as a birthday gift for her even though it is now a late one. It has never been detailed before and only the occasional drive through car wash. I went out tonight and bought two 5g buckets and a ridgid shop vac. My poor planning has left me a little short on stuff needed for...

I went ahead and bought a little more product to do this project with. 303 Aerospace Protectant 16 oz The Grit Guard Insert - Silver Buy One, Get One Free! CarPro Tar X Tar & Adhesive Remover 600 ml. CarPro Iron X Iron Remover 500 ml. Optimum Power Clean™ All Purpose Cleaner 128 oz. Sample...

Thanks for the replies. I didn't expect so many. I bought the Meg #6 for her car thinking it would have been better. Oh well, I will use the polish and nxt 2.0 instead. The protectant I have are some Armorall wipes and honestly I don't like Armorall because its so oily. It leaves a nice shine...

I want to detail her car as a birthday present plus it just needs it but I was curious about the products I have on hand and if I NEED something else to make it nice. Her car just barely gets a drive through wash every now and then. I am not looking to spend all day on it, but this is what I...

Hey thanks for the replies everyone. I have added a few items to my "List". I am kinda holding out for the next BOGO to see if I can score a deal :xyxthumbs: The bad news is in my carelessness after taking my saddle bags off to clean them I forgot to tighten the bolts back down and this...

I spent a couple of days on it. I washed it with Meguiar's Ultimate Wash, Sprayed IronX all over the bike, Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay, Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0 with orange pad 5.5", Meguiar's Ultimate Polish with white pad, and Meguiar's NXT Tech 2.0 liquid wax and blue pad. After...

Great thread and thanks for the video. What is OC that you two are talking about? Also I looked for the Gtechniq C1 but only found GTechniq C1.5 Silo Seal, is this the same product just an updated version? Thanks!

I went ahead and bought the rest of the items posted in the first post but added a microfiber towel kit and a wash mit. I hope I now have all that I need. I can't wait to get to work on my bike.

Thanks for all the Welcomes :dblthumb2:

A pretty good way from you but Mobile. I actually saw your location and added mine.

Thanks for the advice Bamafire. I went ahead and ordered the 5 piece washer set. Thanks for the welcomes :)

Hello, I just found this site the other day while search the web to find some products to clean and polish my "new to me" motorcycle. I will be getting the Porter Cable 7424XP soon. I will have to stick with a mostly Meguiar's lineup for affordability reasons but I did just get some things that...
