Just wanted to share a few things I got my hands on locally, some stuff that came highly recommended from the shop I visit once a week (or more).

Take a look at the pictures.

I finally got my spur for my wool pads :awesome:

Now the Meg's Trim Detailer and Metal Polisher are the ones that came higly recommended so I thought why not try them and see if I like them, never know till you try. Oh if any one has used these two before please give me some feed back, like or no like, good or no good.

Oh and as you can see I like Meg's APC :righton:

Just thought I'd share.

oh my lordy that is some big bottle of apc! carlos, it is time to open up nica's detailing!
 
The spur is an absolute necessity..I've had mine for years..my 3 yr old loves to play with it too:D
 
Lauren - I love the APC, very versatile chemical and can be used for anything....Nica's detailing....not a bad ring to it but no...I just do it for fun, I don't know if I would want to do it as a business. Maybe open a shop and have someone else run it I'm contemplating that idea but still have the thinking cap for now.

richy - Yes the spur is really necessary, I was using a friends of mine becuase I had to get the body shop that I go to order me one. They are cheap but apperently hard to get here, or maybe it was just my luck. I'll have to get another...just in case my little girl decides to grab it and play with it ;)
 
:P I am still working on getting my hands on the new Meguiar's Detailer Line. Congrats on getting 5 Gallons!!

BTW: want to get together Thurs? I'm tired and too lazy to PM :P

I don't get it. What is the spur for?
 
The spur is for wool pads, it kicks out loose fibers and residual compound. You need to use goggles when using them because fur gets everywhere.
 
What beats the spur

The AG pad cleaning bucket from LC. If you like to use wool pads this baby is a winner.You can delint your pads before use and clean them and not take a bath ( you know the white strip from head to toe after you wash a pad and pull the trigger)works on foam very well too , well worth the bucks, snappy clean is a wonder on cleaning the pads , just a really cool invention for pad cleaning without using the kitchen sink, just my a cent and a half :cheers:
 
5 gallon bucket of APC? That's gonna last you a while.
I used Megs trim detailer, and it did a fine job. I also have a 32 oz bottle of #38 (discontinued) from their pro line. The one from consumer line (black bottle) I like better then #38.
 
sneek - Thursday, should be able to work something out. Let me know what time and where...you got my number right? Can't remember if I gave you my number.

ltoman - Yup, what sneek said. It's a way to clean the wool pads, that's all oh and yea you do need to wear goggles, I made the mistake of not wearing them and got a bunch of gunk in my eyes. Hey I like your avatar Lauren, looks good. I also noticed you read the review on the rotary there and I see yoru coming around with the rotary's. To be honest Lauren, rotary's aren't that bad. It's easy, now that you got the hang of the PC the rotary will be no problem for you.

Tinpan - That's the next thing I'll be getting, I'm trying to see if I can find it localy but so far no luck. I may have to order it in. I saw a video of the bucket in action and man what a time saver and it makes cleaning so easy. I'll be getting is shortly. Thanks for the tip though, greatly appresiated my friend.

supercharged - Yup, I'm hoping that the APC will last me a wile. Prior to this 5 gallon bucket I used purchased a 1L container and I went through it fast. I just like using it for allot of different things. Oh and thanks for the feed back on the trim detailer. I don't think I've ever seen #38, but I'll be using the trim detailer till I run out...the other product I'm going to be ordering is Black Again. I've heard really good things about it but I'll see how trim detailer does, if it does good then I won't order the Black Again product.

davet - Thank you.
 
Sweet products Nica ;) I have to get me a spur soon to! Megs APC is great, I got the 1 gallon from AG, it goes empty pretty fast! Let me know how you like the Trim detailer and the chrom polish :)
 
pirex - will do bro, looking forward to the weekend where I'll be finishing the vehicle I started this past weekend :righton: and I'll use these new products.

I think you can get all of that at UAP NAPA, they also have all the Meguiar's Pads, but their about $33 a pop.

Calgary, Could you take a pic of your APC? I have a feelign you have the newer one if you ordered it from here. :P I am probably going to order 1 of everything from the D-line and share with Calgarians as it is much cheaper to order 4 X 1 gallon jugs vs. 1 gallon jugs.

Also pat and Carlos. What are your sundays looking like? I am 99% sure I am free if you want to get toghter for a cup of coffee or somthing and discuss detailing?


Thanks again for the info
 
Hey sneek and CalgaryDetail, I got a "special project" lined up for this weekend, if you guys are up for it we could all head down to the place..hint hint it's out of town not far but out of town and I'm pumped for this project...any who if you guys aren't bussy I could pick you guys up or meet somewhere and just go have some detailing fun :D oh and I'm up for coffee boys :righon: oh yea CalgaryDetail, I've been going to a palce called Carlson Body Shop Supply Ltd. it's located just north of Deerfoot Mall. I've been dealing with a guy name Bill, good guy. The thing is though, you have to walk in there knowing what you want and hope that they cary it. So far I've found good things from them.

<edit> this "special project" I'm talking about is open to anyone who want's to have some fun detailing this weekend, the more the better time we will have. Didn't mean to make it sound exclusively to sneek and CalgaryDetail.

ltoman - come on Lauren, rotary inst that bad at all babe. You'll see, one day your going to make the leap and your going to look back and say "it's not that bad" trust me.

dengood1 - I didn't look to close but the lid has a little spout that I'm thinking of puring some in to another container and go from there, heck if all fails I'll just open the lid and dip my bottle right in :righton:

Kewl, my dads new job is around Deerfoot Mall, but I am not allowed to say where he works :P.

Anywho I'd probably be up for this weekend. That is if I still dont have a job *keeps fingers crossed* haha.

Mike: Make sure it is the Body Shop supply NAPA regular NAPA doesn't have 1/2 of the stuff.
