2014 Post SEMA New Product Review at Autogeek (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/pictures-autogeek-s-car-week/86689-2014-post-sema-new-product-review-autogeek.html)


This was a first for me...


In my life I've done at least a half a dozen before and after demo cars where I've taped a car down the middle and then only buffed out one side of the car. The deal is after the show or event showcasing the before and after results I always buffed out the other side of the car.

Here's probably the most recognized side-by-side, before and after demonstration.

Well last night... we only buffed out the one side... that means pj is driving around a car with one beautiful bright shiny side and one side is well... take a look....

We covered the passenger side up with microfiber cover-up towels to protect and preserve the ugly....

Here's the finished shot before we removed the tape. Frank took this standing in the bed of my truck which was also buffed out using the new Menzerna 3-in-1.

Later, if I have any free time I'll post the action shots of the work being performed using the new Sonax MAXCUT and the Flex PE8.


And "yes" pj is driving the car around with only half of it buffed out. We're all hoping he takes a picture of the face on the person that works at the rental car agency when he returns it.


:D

Thanks Mike & Autogeek for the opportunity to test out the new products. The new DP Tire Cleaner & Coating did a nice job with the tires. I really liked using the new Flex PE8, it was smooth, light weight, yet felt like a solid machine and stayed cool during use. :dblthumb2:

[antti@561detailing]

Thank you Mike and Autogeek and Pj for the opportunity once again. We were able to test out Sonax and new Menzerna...and Flex pe8 and also Pj showed us how to hand wax the car....i consider myself lucky to be able to go and do those things....to test products and tools...and to learn from all those guys who come to those clinics...yesterday was a blast...thanks again
