    Dude, you're awesome. Thanks for taking your time to write everything up. I've added some extra pads for the PC and along with some brushes/applicators. What do you think of using OPC @ 3:1 for wheels/tires and following up with 845 wax & Optimum Tire Shine?

    Hello fellow autogeeks, I'm looking to touch up my newly purchased grey metallic G35 coupe, but besides some basic car washes which include water, soap and rag i haven't done anything too extensive in the world of car detailing. Luckily for me there's the internet and autogeek.net :xyxthumbs...
