What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Thinking of Ron today. I gave my baby a bath and topped it with High Gloss and Gold Zirkon like Ron told me how he used to top his Vette! He didn't lie, it definitely makes the paint pop!


Hope you are up there enjoying your white Vette Ron!

I think you'll love the G9. I know mine is a dream to use.

Let us know how the Complete Compound works. Have you used their Fast Correcting Cream? That stuff is magic in a bottle, IMO.

Are you talking about the Synthetic Clay disc? If so, it works very well. One thing I have found with this product (vs. regular clay) is that you need to use PLENTY of lube, and use a lighter touch with a few more passes.


I will also add some of the lube to the rinse bucket. Does this really help? I'm not sure, but it makes me feel better somehow.........

its the hand grip synthetic clay. I ordered a gallon of Meguiars final touch that ill probably use with it. if i use too much, i might switch over to using the wolfgange rinseless wash as clay lube since a bottle of that makes 16 gallons.

I remember that 1 particular wash when Ron started with a black car and washed the color right off of it and it turned white!

RIP RON

I ordered some new shoes for the ES which will be coated once I get some miles/cleanings on them. I went with Continental DWS06 Plus, went up to a 235/40/18. I'm going to do ONE tire with Optimum tire coating and see what happens. Others have good luck and I haven't, so we'll see. If it doesn't work it's Feynlab Black Velvet

Very good all season tire. I’m on my first set and will likely get another set when I wear these out.

I had a set on 2 Hondas 10 years ago, the original ones and loved them!

The plan was to give my car a “quick” polish this morning.. However things didn’t go so smooth, and I never thought I’d say this but I’m about this close to strongly disliking the new Megs 210 Polish.

Has this happened to anyone else? 81% humidity, 70 degrees in the shade, I don’t know what else could’ve somehow caused this but the working time was short before this began to happen, and my polishing cycles are relatively short.






Those spots wouldn’t buff off. I needed detail spray to remove them. And the polish that did remove was way more oily than M205 on its worst day. I don’t know what else to say but so far I’m not feeling this new polish.

Back to the drawing board for the last of the M205 on my shelf. Just bearly enough to get me through the horizontal panels on my car and throw in the towel because the humidity was crazy.




Those spots tried to happen again on my 1st cycle, but I was easily able to adjust and prevent it from going any further + the M205 had much longer working time and the wipe off was a breeze. Like night & day.




I should’ve never cheated on M205. Now I gotta buy another bottle of polish. No bueno for El Cheapo.

Post this on my Everest thread, but figured I’d post it here too…



Started the paint work on the Jeep today. Will hopefully finish this by Sunday.

Whats a milkbar?

milkbar or Fish n chip shop these day's is a store where you can buy hot food and cold drinks and of course mixed lollies. Not many around these day's as they were the place to hang out in the 80s 90s to get the chicks.

Me and my brother and sister in law we were getting some fresh hot chips with chicken salt and i saw the guy outside spitting onto a cloth and we all had a little laugh to ourselves.

I think they were originally called a milkbar because they sold milk shakes, along with take away food, like burgers, fish n chips, chiko rolls, pluto pups, potato cakes (called potato scallops north of the Vic border), corn dogs, fish cakes, calamari rings etc.

I think I've just made it worse now.

Also just gave the Qashqai a wipe down with Bowden's Boss Gloss, it was a little dusty.
