I stumbled upon this detail I forgot to post up from the fall, back when the Jeep was stock. I was cruising through photobucket and the depth caught my eye. Process: -Poorboys wash -OC/OP mix on orange pad -Nattys Blue

I've seen this subject introduced on some other boards. How do you guys feel about this? Pros and Cons? I've searched, and am surprised it hasn't been brought up yet.

I finally got out to testing the wax I've created. It was rather hard to get an accurate capture of the reflections due to the snow, but nevertheless here are the pictures: For more information on the wax: http://autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/100157-teaser-developing-new-wax.html Inside...

Good Afternoon Gents, If you haven't caught the hint. I'm in the process of creating my own automotive wax. I've ran a few batches and things have turned out excellent. I'm using over 50% carnauba per container from the Brazilian palm tree Copernicia prunifera. Compare that to other waxes...

I had a detail on a real dirty TL today. I used ONR and it came out flawless except for a few things: -The ONR left steaks that looked that swirls in the sun, they were removed when the LSP was applied so it was clearly the left over ONR residue. -Upon removal of the LSP there was...

Good Afternoon gents :waxing: , Day 1: 7:30 PM - 8:45 PM Day 2: 8:00 AM - 2:45 PM Customer, a member of autopia, dropped the SUV off Friday night. I gave it a quick foam and wash under the halogens while the sun was setting and finished the car the next morning. I have no before pictures...

Start time: 8:45 Finished by: 12:30 Total time: 3 hours and 45 minutes. A regular customer, a neighbor, gave me a ring during the week requesting an exterior detail, simple enough. I let him know that I do offer sealants and paint correction, considering winter will be coming soon. He...

Usually, I use Opti-seal over my LSP. I've been reading some debate whether to apply the sealant before or after the LSP? I'm using Opti-seal and Natty's blue for the two products in question. Thanks.

I've polished my Jeep many times with an orange pad and OC with heavy pressure, the swirls still appear back after the top coat wax fillers wear out. Should I use a wool pad on my rotary, then bring that down with the orange pad and some OP on the PC? The clear is rock hard!

I was experimentating yesterday afternoon and decided to try a wierd combonation of products on my Jeep. I used 1/3 OC, 1/3 OP, 1/3 Turtle wax hard shell. To my surprise, it came out really well:

Did a little detail on the DD today. A previous customer wanted me to use turtle wax on their car, I so figured I would give it a try. -Crystal Wash -OC on PC6 -Turtle Wax -Armorall Extreme Tire Shine -Armorall on wells, mirrors, and handles Before Pollen and light swirls...

Did a light detail on my mom's 2003 Sonata. The mileage is only in the teens so the wear isn't too bad on it. I hit it up with OP a few weeks back so I didn't bother polishing again... Process: -Megs Deep Crystal wash -Megs Gold Class wax paste via PC @ level 2 -Diluted Simple Green on...

I have a detail Sunday on a H2 in which he lets me use all of his products. I would like to take advantage of this but all he has is paste wax. Although I doubt it, would it be possible to use the paste with the pc?
