We're looking for some incredible photos that showcase your best work. It could earn you a $100 gift certificate to Autogeek.net for a monthly winner, or a $1000 check at year's end if your work is deemed the very best. Show us your detailing skills and we'll show you the money!

Each month, we'll pick a product line. Participants will detail a vehicle using a product from that line as the last step product (ie., wax or sealant). The Autogeek staff will pick the photo that shows the most impressive shine. The winner will get a $100 gift certificate at the end of the month and be entered to win a $1000 check from Max at the end of this year.

This month, the brand is NTS7. If you haven't used NTS7, now is a great time to try it because all NTS7 products are on sale.

NTS7 by Sonax

Submit your pictures by posting them on this thread. We will announce a winner at the end of this month. Good luck and happy detailing!




Please do not reply or comment on this thread, just post pics if you are entering this contest. Any other post besides photos being entered in the contest will be deleted. Thank you

July Entry

Here is my car, a 2007 Lexus IS250 that has the following steps/products used:

Wash using PB SS&S and white ShMitt
Clay
Polish with Menzerna 106ff
NTS7 Liquid Shield
Topped with RMG

Not too bad for my first time using any of these products. It was also my first time using my new UDM and CCS pads. If you see anything that I did wrong or that I could have done better/different, please let me know!

Wicked paint that Beemer has, especially after the human touch!
 
Wow!

To think all that was done at home - both the black and purple (?) Does a light silver have a chance?
 
the purple car was done at a customers house, i do detailing as a profession.
 
err, this is the first time im doing one of these monthly contests.
Am i supposed to take pics of the FINISHED product, or of the product itself? I did both just to be safe :Picture:

Here is one i snapped today while i was giving the car a quick wash:

I'm hoping to get pictures of another car I did with this product lately, but just in case I figured I should shine up my silver vehicles. Silver doesn't do what black and other dark colors can do, but the right stuff can get some really good effects. NTS7 Liquid Shield Liquid Wax & Paint Protectant gives a great glow to the body lines and really looks impressive on Silver.

Everyone has till the morning, if you have pics get them posted and we will pick a winner in the morning!
 
Whew! Last minute submission here.

I've been waiting for the time and weather to get that shot. It has been so overcast that periods of any amount of sun have just not existed. I hate submiting a black car in less than direct sunlight, but that is as good as I'm going to get this month anyway.

I've seen several recommendations for NTS7 Auto Shampoo but it appears to no longer be available. What happened??:confused:

NTS7 I believe hasn't been very popular, so AG might be taking it out.
 
I'm not sure how you would know that. The forums aren't their only customer base. A company like Autogeek doesn't stay in business because a couple hundred detail geeks drop a few bucks a month on wax. I've learned that just because a product doesn't get a lot of play on message boards doesn't mean it isn't being sold or used.

killrwheels posted a comment on another thread that all companies in the US that carried NTS7 had it on "fire sale," or something like that. So if every other company has it on close out prices... that maybe an indication that it ain't doing too good.
