This is the 1st time i've had the chance to use my UDM with my new Menz. products on my Evo, so I was really excited and very happy the way it turned out. The conditions were freezing (41 was the high) and actually had to stand in ice to get some of it done, but I feel it was well worth the 5 hours.

Interior was just vacuumed at a coin-op (i live in apts) and I applied DP interior cleaner and surface protectant.

Exterior received the full treatment with correction done with SSR 2.5 via UDM and CCS white pad
- Menz Final Polish via UDM and CCS white pad
- EX-P via UDM and CCS blue pad (let it sit for 3 hours)
- finished up this morning with Collinite 845 by hand to deal with anymore snow we may get.

Engine was just wiped down with some megs QD (not the best i know, but its all i had) and than any "bling bits" including the exhaust were polished with Master Formula Metal Polish

Didn't have any befores right before the detail, but here are some taken right when i came down from a day of snowboarding:

Lived 20 years at Lake Tahoe, CA; 30' snow average per year. Packed wheel wells sometimes got so bad you could not turn front wheels!

Solution: Cross country skiers, me included, spray the bottom of their skis with wax to increase slide. Soft wax for warm and hard wax for cold, used hard spray wax sprayed inside your wheel wells BEFORE the snow falls. This just about eliminates snow around your wheels. Another example: We sprayed the inside of our snow blowers so snow would not stick while the blower is blowing.

Try it.........you'll like it!
