Going detail crazy lately....

Besides buying mods for the car, I've been bitten by the detailing bug since moving back to my house with it's garage. My old place didn't even have a car wash stall, so of course the car suffered. But not any more!!!

I've spent a LOT of money lately, here's a short list:
Porter Cable DAPC7336
Edge 2000 pad system
Klasse AIO (free, thanks Scotty!!...woot)
Klasse SG
Pinnacle XMT scratch removers
Natty's Blue
Pinnacle spray nuba QD
Wheelwax
Ordered some Menzerna PO85RD from England (this formula no longer sold in the US)
Countless microfiber cloths.

Want to try:
Wolfgang sealant glaze
Finish Kare 425
Blackfire SRC

I think I'm going insane, but this pic of the reflection of my garage roof on the roof of my car speaks LOADS of the terrific results I'm getting:



Sad and crazy thing is, I'm probably still going to buy different things just to try them out haha.

Since my car was in sorta bad shape, the initial process took 5 hours I did 1 or 2 passes with 2 different swirl removers, cleaned/polished the wheels, 1 coat of AIO, 1 coat of SG applied much too think resulting is a HELLA lot of "elbow grease" to remove the crap.

Now that it's about 75% or so to where I want it to be, I'll be much of a shorter process when my new swirl removers come in. I should be able to do the car in a few hours now. All that's really required after I finish is to wash it every week, clay bar it if needed (and re-seal the areas that were clayed) and keep a good coat of the Natty's on top. The hardest part is prepping the paint for the sealant and removing the swirls.

Depending on how bad your car is, it may take more or less time. My car was bad and had a lot of swirls/spiderwebs on it (from day one when it came in on Matson). I gotta meet you one day and take a look at it I guess.
