Hello, I'm Eric from Roseville, CA. I've been coming to this site and purchasing products from Autogeek for years now. I have learned so much from reading everything all of you have to share so I figure it's time to start posting some of my work. I have been an enthusiast for some time now and I'm really trying to step up my game and hope to start detailing full time within the next year. I will be attending the Boot Camp next month and am excited to meet some of you there and pick up some good techniques.
I completed a detail this weekend on a 2005 Toyota Sequoia. It only has about 65K miles and was in pretty good shape for being nearly eight years old. It was unbearably hot here this weekend with temperatures around 108 all days I worked on this so it made it that much more fun.
Products used:
Two bucket wash with Grit Guards
Chemical Guys Citrus Red Wash
Foam gun
Microfiber and wookie wash mitts
OPC Diluted 4:1
