Hey everyone! My name is Dan and I'm from the south side of Chicago, IL. Around here we have some ridiculous weather and my car is parked outside year round so it takes some serious abuse. I used to have a Silverstone 350z and now drive an '08 Accord V6, Belize Blue Pearl. I love the car but Honda's soft paint kind of sucks. The guy I got it from did a lot of highway driving so the rock chips are horrendous. I used Dr. Colorchip to fill a lot of them in, worked amazing by the way and I will be doing round 2 shortly after it gets a nice detail. I've read and watched almost every starter video on the site and am hoping it's enough to do a decent job on my first real detail. I work at a Car Wash/Detail shop now and have for the last 7 years but I'm getting tired of the swirl-a-thon and ready for some ONR and waterless wash products to use now that I live in a condo. I just ordered about $400 :O worth of products on this awesome super sale and I am ready to start. I will make a thread showing my progress on the detail.
My order:
5 Gallon Professional Wash Bucket w/Grit G
One Free Sample Per Order
8 oz. Meguiars Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut C

It's amazing how the best way to remove swirls is to stand a few feet away!
