Hi everyone this is my first time posting here on autogeek online. I have been reading up on detailing for about 2 years now. I first bought the zaino system, and while it was it looked great in the shade it did not provide the amount of swirl correction I needed. So I am thinking about getting a orbital polisher to start off and a slew of other products.

Here are some pictures I took today.

Welcome to AGOL, you will learn alot here...Sweet car...
 
Nice looking Bimmer Sir!

Welcome to the AG Forums and have fun with the orbital and products. Keep the product to a single line (Klasse, Menzerna, Meguiar's, etc) and learn each step of the process....that's what's important.

Often times, I do a start-to-finish on a door panel if I'm trying out a new product line. That is my guage for the rest of the car.

Jump right in with pics or questions.
 
Oakley headquarters, huh? Sweet. Whenever I go there there are always some nice modified vehicles parked in front, starting with those mean looking trucks.
 
Thanks a lot for all the positive comments. I look forward to posting my (stupid) questions all over this fourm so bare with me hahaha (Probaby due to my age haha just about to hit the prime age of 19.) I am really interested in detailing, I don't know why but it just seemed to intrugue me, I am a perfectionist so that probably lead into the need to prefect looking paint.

Totoland Mach: Thanks for the tip I am really interested in the menzerna line of products but it is a little confusing what products to get since they have mulitple choices for the same cut and stuff.

ZoranC: Yeah Oakley is friggin sweet. I love that place not many people can say they live in the same town as the Oakley headquaters. And there where a couple of trucks there yesterday they where beasts!
 
Welcome, fellow so-Californian! nice beemer.

I like the area. Roads around it have relaxed speed limit, are wide, and with curves which was perfect to enjoy in my MR2. I don't go there almost at all anymore because I am not working in the area anymore.
 
Wow an Oakley building! I have the Gascans :cool:. Sweet car man, you'll learn a lot here. She's looking good right now. All you're gonna need is either the PC, UDM, or Cyclo and get some polishes and let er rip!

So, you watch Naruto ey? :D

Yeah I love the roads around here. If you go into the back of the town it is a state park so the roads wind and twist around. Perfect if you just want to go for a drive.

Definity thinking about gettin a polisher. I want a UDM but I hear they are having switch problems I am sure it will get resolved though. And Yes I watch Naruto or used to at least I stopped when they started the fillers. So not for like 2 years now I need to catch up. Subs FTW. ;)
 
If you going to go witht he Mezerna line. Just get the SIP and the 106ff, That is mostly what everyone gets
 
Naruto19, I have tested the UDM for maybe a minute or two. It's not long enough to say that the switch will easily be triggered though. I haven't used a PC yet or any other machine. I can say that it glides over the surface, but it does vibrate much.

You should just begin from the new season when they're all grown up :) it's really good, but i've only seen 2 episodes. My favorite filler though was when Naruto, Sakura, and Chouji had to make the best ramen for the "food ninja" lol.

Yes, power switch is too easy to turn on but replacement switch is now available (you can get all details on other forum). I do not know whether that will address the issue or reduce it at least, it remains to be seen.

If you end up interested in trying them all out hands on let me know.

Yeah I loved that show it was awesome. I started the series when they where on episode 80 and I remember I blasted through 60 episodes in 2 days. So I have always saved up espides and watch like 20 at a time. I think I am going to start from 1 and get back up to 2** or whatever it is I don't go back to school till sept 28 so it shouldn't be a problem to catch up. Thanks for the info on the UDM as well. :)
