I'm really sorry for the late notice fellas, but I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow. I will be at the office all day. I'll try and swing by later in the day if I can, but it's not looking good. Hope you all have fun.

Smooth trade with anonymoususer. Looking forward to testing the SF4500 he sent me. Thanks!

Optimum Car Wash - artificially flavored blueberry hard candy People who say Optimum Car Wash smells like blueberries have never smelled fresh blueberries before. Note: I may or may not be guilty of this.

I asked because I'm not set up for mobile. I see your point though. I'll bring everything I can fit in my trunk.

I've only tried FG400 and M205 out of the products you listed. That combo has worked for me on several vehicles. For how well FG400 cuts and finishes, I see no reason to even try M105.

My intention in the spreadsheet was to list most everything I own. I know someone wanted to try HD Polish, so I'll bring that. Is there anything else I must bring (other than my car and food of course)?

I can't edit my post in this thread, so here's an update: I'm good on trades for right now. I'll post up a new list when I'm ready for more trades. Thanks to all who contacted me.

I'm interested! 1. I live in Lake Forest, about 5 minutes away from Detailing in Irvine. 2. I live in a condo, so I can't host. 3. Depending on location of the venue, I can do Friday afternoon/evening, Saturday morning/early afternoon, or Sunday anytime. 4. BBQ/potluck style sounds good...

PERL (undiluted) is more shiny and lasts longer. On my tires, opti-bond looks shiny for a day or two. PERL is shiny for at least a week. Additional applications of PERL add gloss and make the shine last longer (3-4 weeks for me). Multiple coats of Opti-Bond don't seem to do much and is a...

What do you mean by "small dots"? Is the product dusting? Do you have photos?

For lightly soiled wheels: car soap (I prefer Optimum car wash) and a dedicated MF mitt For wheels with more dirt and brake dust: Megs D103 APC+ (10:1 or 4:1 depending on how filthy - CarPro Trix is on my wish list) Tires: CarPro PERL undiluted

Thanks for doing this. PM'd

I am interested in trying the SW40 spray wax: http://www.autogeek.net/scholl-concepts-sw40.html

I'm curious. Which other product/pad combinations did you try on your truck that were unable to remove the swirls? I'm happy for you that you found something that worked for your needs. I just can't help but wonder if the other products you tried might have achieved the same results with the...

I haven't really tested it, but my observations seem to agree with yours on this. If Opti-Bond is picking up gloss with subsequent applications, it's not as noticeable as with PERL.

This weekend I did a little comparison between Opti-Bond and PERL. I cleaned the wheels, wells, and tires with Megs APC+ (10:1) and the Mother's wheel, well, and tire brushes (my usual regimen). I then applied PERL (undiluted) on the front two wheels and Opti-Bond (undiluted) on the rear two...

Are you talking about the large, gray 630 gsm towels? I have two of those and they work great! I buy all my MFs there because I like being able to inspect towels before purchasing. I am usually disappointed when I buy MFs blindly online. I haven't tried CGs towels or Guzzlers though.

Put me down as another person who avoids CG products simply because there are too many choices. I'm sure they make good products. It's just that the seemingly endless supply of products they have for sale doesn't appeal to me at all. I just watched CG's YouTube video for factory sealant the...

I agree completely. Lots of detailers these days like the matte/natural look on tires (maybe because they associate shiny tires with solvent based dressings?). IMO, glossy tires make the whole detail "pop." To my eyes, it looks like the detailer forgot to dress the tires if they are matte...
