What up everybody? I am a newbie and I just had to share the experience I had yesterday when doing my first ever car detail. I used all XMT products for the polish and finished with liquid souvren. The car came out great! All swirl marks were gone, and only the deeper scratches remain but you can hardly notice them (silver paint). When I moved the car outside I was able to see all of the tiny flakes in the paint sparkling in the sunlight!
I guess due to me being a beginner, it took me all day to finish the exterior! I started at 6am and didn't finish till 5pm, is that long to you pros?
Well the reason why I wrote this is to tell you about the best product that I have used (in my short experience). In my opinion, the start of any car detail is actually washing the vehicle. I have been washing cars for most of my life (I'm 39) and have been using the ol bucket and soap technique. Even to the point that I purchased the 5gallon complete wash system from this site (good product). I recently bought the Autogeek Foam gun combined with DP ultra foam soap. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!
I am a stickler for trying to get the right combination of soap and water to have enough for the whole car wash. With this product there is no guessing and there always is a ton of suds! This product works excellent! I just keep a bucket full of water to rinse the mitt and go. I was not planning on even washing my wifes car (2000 Yukon) that day due to my plans to detail my car but I loved the foam gun so much that I wanted to use it again and ended up doing my wifes car to!
I love a product that lives up to its billing.
Thanks for listening,
Wesley
