    2012 Mustang w/DG501 and BF crystal seal

    This is the first detail of my new 2012 Mustang in performance white. After a dawn foam dwell and 2 bucket wash. I applied Iron X to all painted surfaces. The Iron X does a great job of course and I was surprised to see this much embedded crap come out of the paint. I then clayed the whole car...

    How many cars have you owned?

    I started a thread like this on another forum a few years ago and it was always fun to see people's car buying history. Since I've had quite a few and my family loves to remind me how uncommitted I am, I'll start: From my first car to most recent: 1992 Buick Regal 2000 Chevrolet Camaro V6...

    POLL: Keep the stripes or ditch em?

    So I got my new 2012 Mustang this week and it came with the stripes on the bottom of the doors. I've got mixed feelings on how they look so I'm gonna leave it up to a vote of my fellow autogeeks. I've already had a few suggestions but I need more feedback. Keep 'em or take 'em off? Once I get...

    Picking up my new 2012 Performance White Mustang V6 tomorrow!

    So I got the financing I wanted and pulled the trigger on a 2012 Mustang V6 with the performance package and 6-speed today!. I ended up trading the TA in because it was getting old and showing it's age. Plus that automatic was so boring to drive everyday. I ended up getting performance white...

    REVIEW: Blackfire rinseless wash and Midnight Sun spray wax!

    Well thanks to AG I received my complimentary can of Blackfire Midnight Sun Spray Wax yesterday and a bonus sample of BF rinseless wash. I had time today at work so I figured I'd give the TA the Blackfire treatment. My car was just a little dusty and dirty from driving all week through some...

    FK1000P and Blackfire Midnight Sun on 2009 F150

    I detailed my buddy's 2009 F150 again today and wanted to try out the Midnight Sun that I just got in on trade. After washing I applied FK1000p first as a sealant since his truck is always outside in the elements. Then after an hour after buffing off the FK I applied a coat of Blackfire midnight...

    2011 Toxic Orange Challenger topped with Souveran

    So yesterday I seized the opportunity to detail my buddy's Toxic Orange 2011 Challenger R/T. After a wash I buffed out the car with D300 on a Meg's MF cutting pad. Then went right to CG Blacklight to clean, seal and prep for the Souveran. This is my third time using Souveran and it's so...

    Souveran on Black 1998 Trans Am

    So i got some Souveran paste wax on trade last week so I gave the TA a wash today and applied a coat to test the legendary status of this expensive wax. There is already a month old layer of CG Blacklight topped with CG Butter wet wax and V7. However, these products were almost gone according to...

    Chemical Guys "Four Horsemen" on my 1998 Trans Am

    So I've had success lately with CG's Glossworkz glaze, Blacklight and V7; the so-called "unholy trinity". Well I just got some Butter Wet Wax in from a trade so I figure I'd put a coat on to see if it complements the look. Also, I had a few questions about topping the trinity with a carnauba...

    Unholy Trinity round 2 on my 2007 Dodge Ram Quadcab

    So I used my favorite new combo again today on my wife's black Ram. I took Silverfox's advice this time and applied the Blacklight by hand after machine glazing with the Glossworkz glaze. Then topped it with the V7 and came up with this! Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with...

    Chemical Guys "Unholy Trinity" on a 2009 F150

    I used the Glossworkz glaze, BlackLight, and hybrid V7 on my buddy's dark shadow grey 2009 F150 yesterday. I've deemed the combo as the Unholy Trinity! These products continue to impress and are so easy to work with, not to mention using 'em always makes me hungry! The tires were dressed with...

    2009 dark shadow grey Ford F150 with BL/V7 combo!

    I gave my buddy's truck a quick ONR wash and application of the recently acquired CG Black Light and V7 combo. I think it looks great of course, the metallic in the paint really pops. The BL really reminded me of EZ-creme as far as physical appearance, smell and effect once applied. The V7 was...

    2007 Dodge Ram quadcab meets Blackfire/Collinite 915

    So I cleaned up the wife's truck today. I hose washed as it was quite dirty. Then I hit the whole truck with XMT 360 on a white pad. Then went to CG Wet Mirror Finish that I just got in and wanted to try. After that, BFWD was applied for neck-snapping gloss. Then, the LSP was Collinite 915. It's...

    1998 Trans Am wearing some Finish Kare 1000p Hi-Temp

    So I got some FK hi-temp wax in the mail today and I had to try it. I can't sleep tonight since I'm on shift lag, so I just put it on an hour ago. First off, WOW this stuff smells like gas, I'm surprised I didn't get high as I put it on lol. My car received an ONR rinseless wash first of course...

    Adding the slickness to ONR as a QD

    I'm not sure if the new version will take care of it but I've heard complaints about ONR as a QD not having any nice slickness to it like most QD's. I've noticed this as well and while it doesn't totally bother me, I figured I'd try something out. I didn't feel like paying almost $40 for the...

    Trans Am wash and wax on a chilly day

    First time using Meg's Ultimate Wash, I must say it's MUCH better than their cheaper deep crystal stuff. Great suds and wonderful shine just from washing. I followed that up with some Meg's #26 yellow wax over the week old layers of BFWD and Purple Haze pro. Snapped a few pics after washing and...

    Is this a type of clearcoat failure?

    These cracks have been on my hood since I bought the car and lately I've noticed more further up on the hood towards the windshield. My hood's insulation was trashed when i bought the car so I removed it and I believe that's the main culprit behind these new cracks. The cracks are basically...

    Homemade PC hanging bracket-patent pending lol

    Had the metal lying around the garage as scrap from previous projects so I figured I'd fab something up. Came out alright I think. It isn't exactly rocket science making a hook lol. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    What are the opinions on Griot's microfibers?

    I just ordered some Griot's Speedshine MF's, I'm thinking about getting some of their other color coded MF's to keep everything separated. What are the general opinions of them? I'm used to Meg's Supreme Shine and I really like 'em for the price.
