I'd like to start showcasing some of my best work. I'll try to be specific about products and processes used. Normally, I try to get good before and after pics and side by side shots. Feel free to ask questions. I hope to get lots of subscribers.

First up: Mercedes SL55 AMG Brabus

This one is purely just to show off. Sorry guys, I was in a time crunch and didn't get any good before pics. I wasn't really happy with these pics either. I felt like the photographer was getting a little artistic and they are a little dark for my taste.

Process and Products:

Presoaked with CG bug bugger (foam cannon) and presprayed rocker panels and grimy areas with d-limonene

Washed (foam cannon and 2 bucket method with meg's microfiber wash mitt) and clayed with Shampoo Plus

Meg's Microfiber Correction system
Griots and PC DA (Like the machines, but switching to Rupes in Spring)
-Mf cutting disc 3" and 5" with D300 (Used m105 to spot compound a few heavier defects)
-MF finishing disc with D301
Scholl Concepts Rim 7 on Wheels
Meg's hyper dressing undiluted on tires.
No fancy sealants. Client was mostly concerned with correction. I wanted to use Power Lock, but oh well.

Thanks to everybody that has subscribed so far. I'll try to post every week or so. I've got a Shelby GT mustang, a viper, and a Cobra Jet mustang coming up relatively soon.

Ha, just noticed I have Meg's quick detailer in my hand in the top pick. I usually use ONR on glass and for the final wipe, but I get these quick detailers in the meg's clay kit at a local liquidation outlet for like 5 bucks! Needless to say, I'm never short on clay or quick detailer. I still buy the Meg's aggressive professional clay at full price. . .wish I could find it super cheap. I don't need it very often though.

I have noticed you like Meguiar, was wondering if you have ever tried as an AIO M66 with a MF pad using the gg? For cars that may need just a bit more aggressive abrasive since I think M66 is the most aggressive AIO if I am not mistaken.

IMHO...
What's definitely needed in your photos is more Light...
More Natural Light, that is!!!

I'm not a die hard Meg's fan but I do like a lot of their products...and probably the majority of my products are megs. For some reason I've just never got around to using m66. I've almost bought it a few times. I'm pretty happy with D151 as my AIO, and haven't really had any reason to change.

I bet it would work. Might be worth a shot. I'll see if my distributer will give me a little sample.
