I'm a newb to this site and figured I would show off my own ride to start. I read alot on here and really respect everyones opinion on all products so thanks again for providing this website for all of us educated and non-educated detailers. I've been doing the same 20 customers for about 6 months now on my days off and really have enjoyed it so I'm just about ready to take the big plunge and go mobile. Check out my work and maybe I'll start doing reviews in the near future providing I get a camera tomorrow and don't have to borrow one like I had to to get these up. Thanks for looking.

Wash Solution - AIM PH Balanced Wash with a touch of flash wax added / MEG's Sheep Skin Mit. Dried and Clay'd with MEG's smooth surface kit.

Sealant - AIM's Clear Image Gold Bond Paint Sealant w/ Dupont Teflon additive. Applied by hand set up time requires 45-60min minimum. Customers here 6 month protection, but has reputation of lasting upto one year with proper care.

Very awesome looking ride!!! The wheels and tires are to die for. Nice write up and pics. Nice combo you used on the paint. NXT smells great don't it!?!

I know of AIM. They sell to alot of dealerships here. They have really good stuff and come to you if you buy enough. Their glass cleaner is one of the best out there.

Thanks Justin for the compliments. Yea I kinda didn't want take anything away from AG by reviewing my AIM products but for me being so close to the supplier, I can't really afford not to buy AIM's products. They carry everything and yes there glass cleaner is very very good. AG is my favorite website by far and I will be making a purchase in the near future for some pads and microfibers. Oh yea, I got hooked up with AIM from a friend that knows the owner and they will basically mix their chemicals for any kind of cleaner you desire, plus if you buy bulk you can slap your name on it with the right paths msds etc..... Example, we took there MAGIC Clean and added a few ingredients to it to make it balanced for Motocross cleaning needs and I think he's got like 1.50 in the bottle, full of solution, and labeled then gets $6.50 a pop all day long.

But anyways this site has been big help to my detailing needs through tutorials, reviews, and helpful professionals like yourself.

Thanks.
