Hi everyone!!!
I would like to share with you my first experience not without the deserved thanks not only to autogeek but also to every single one contributor in this forum who was of huge help introducng me to this hobby!!!! i love it!!!
First of all, let me tell you that before i knew autogeek, i knew nothing about car detailing... i wanted to know what the hell was needed to achieve perfect reflection and deep shine i saw whenever i go to the US or Europe and see concours cars... know i know at least a little bit... i have a very good idea at best perhaps...
Because my beemer it's at the car shop because of a waterpump blowout and headgasket change, i tried first with my best friend's 94 40th anniversary Vette and there you can see some of the results!!!
Shamely, the before (believe me.. a Vette only wahed on auto machines.. heavy swirls it's just being soft) photos was so badly took i've just erased them because it was of no use at all... let me tell you about my experience but before all... thank you all!!! i love this hobby everybody!!!!
What i've used:
- Menzerna PO83Q, 106FA and 85rd
- Pinnacle everything from the bagged kit
- Pinnacle souveran.. loooooooovely!!!!

- Cobra microfiber eberything
- DP Xtreme Foam
- Metro Vac'n Blo'
- Aztec Hot Rod

What i did:
- Wash with DP extreme foam with Gillmour Foamaster
- Clayed with pinnacle clay bar and lubricant (awsome!)
- Pinnacle paint cleanser
- Dried with the metro vac n blo blowing of course and then cobra whatever guzzler
- Menzerna 83q with 4" orange pads (at porter 6th speed)
- Menzerna 106FA with Gray pad ( at porter 5th speed)
- Menzerna 85rd with porter at 4th at the beggining and then 3rd speed.
- Klasse All in one.. Believe me.. if i could use it on my teeth.. i won't hesitate to do that... this is a WONDERFUL product.

The camera used it's a casio and the photos does not makes justice of the results but i hope you have at least 10% of the joy i had doing this!!!
I'm not doing it for profit... this is my hobby, i love cars and i had the bad luck of living on a country that knows nothing about car detail but this was just amazing!!!! i hope i can make my emotions evident with my words because even when i work for an american corp here in my country... english it's not my native language.
Once again thank you all...i'll look forward to read your comments and later to publish my car's complete detail... it's a 94 euro spec cabrio E36 BMW which is beautiful at least to my eyes!!! :wave:
Best of luck and my best regards!!!
