I'd like to start showcasing some of my best work. I'll try to be specific about products and processes used. Normally, I try to get good before and after pics and side by side shots. Feel free to ask questions. I hope to get lots of subscribers.

First up: Mercedes SL55 AMG Brabus

This one is purely just to show off. Sorry guys, I was in a time crunch and didn't get any good before pics. I wasn't really happy with these pics either. I felt like the photographer was getting a little artistic and they are a little dark for my taste.

Process and Products:

Presoaked with CG bug bugger (foam cannon) and presprayed rocker panels and grimy areas with d-limonene

Washed (foam cannon and 2 bucket method with meg's microfiber wash mitt) and clayed with Shampoo Plus

Meg's Microfiber Correction system
Griots and PC DA (Like the machines, but switching to Rupes in Spring)
-Mf cutting disc 3" and 5" with D300 (Used m105 to spot compound a few heavier defects)
-MF finishing disc with D301
Scholl Concepts Rim 7 on Wheels
Meg's hyper dressing undiluted on tires.
No fancy sealants. Client was mostly concerned with correction. I wanted to use Power Lock, but oh well.

Thanks to everybody that has subscribed so far. I'll try to post every week or so. I've got a Shelby GT mustang, a viper, and a Cobra Jet mustang coming up relatively soon.
 
Ha, just noticed I have Meg's quick detailer in my hand in the top pick. I usually use ONR on glass and for the final wipe, but I get these quick detailers in the meg's clay kit at a local liquidation outlet for like 5 bucks! Needless to say, I'm never short on clay or quick detailer. I still buy the Meg's aggressive professional clay at full price. . .wish I could find it super cheap. I don't need it very often though.
 
I have noticed you like Meguiar, was wondering if you have ever tried as an AIO M66 with a MF pad using the gg? For cars that may need just a bit more aggressive abrasive since I think M66 is the most aggressive AIO if I am not mistaken.

Maybe if I put that girl in my photos I'll get more business...

I'm not a die hard Meg's fan but I do like a lot of their products...and probably the majority of my products are megs. For some reason I've just never got around to using m66. I've almost bought it a few times. I'm pretty happy with D151 as my AIO, and haven't really had any reason to change.

I bet it would work. Might be worth a shot. I'll see if my distributer will give me a little sample.
 
I'll be more than happy to send you a sample. I have a full size gallon just got in a order. If you can pm your info il send it asap.

Sent with my Note 2, from Planet Namek.

Notable Products used:

Meg's hyper wash via Foam Cannon (excellent foam/cleaning ability)

Scholl Concepts Rim 7 on Wheels (polished Aluminum) I must mention that this wheel cleaner will fade and oxidize polished aluminum if left for more than about a minute or two (Contrary to product claims) I've observed this on several polished wheels, now and have been left somewhat disappointed.
On these wheels I cleaned the inner barrel first with a daytonna brush, and then spray on face, almost immediately agitating, letting sit for around 30 seconds and then sprayed off...no problems.
The damage that this wheel cleaner causes is not permanent, but must (annoyingly) be lightly polished to correct.

Meg's Microfiber Correction system: cutting pad, finishing and D300 and 301. No follow up LSP. (I would finish with 205 and do an IPA wipedown if I was using a different lsp and getting paid a lot more haha).

Hyper dressing undiluted on tires (my favorite dressing) applied with microfiber applicator.

At first I was like - "nice looking mustang"... and then I saw the underglow :nomore:
 
Yeah....I couldn't believe it either...This was an older guy too. Didn't make any sense. Nice guy though.
