    In the book I recommend getting the 6.5" Hybrid pads. You can tackle just about any car paint using,

    Orange
    White
    Black


    For chemicals I only included brands I trust on black paint because if the compounds and polishes work on black paint they'll work on any paint.

    At the time I wrote the book Autogeek didn't carry HD products. Had we carried HD products at the time of the printing I would have included them too.

    Get lots of Gold Plus Jr. microfiber towels, at least 12. That way you can make small washing loads and wash ONLY the 12 towels.

    The book walks you through what to do from the time you place the box it comes in onto a table and open it and to the final wiping off of the wax.

    I actually have an article on that topic...


    "It ain't braggin' if you can back it up." -Dizzy Dean


    A number of years ago I used the above quote for a description when I created the the Show Off Your Latest Detail Work forum group on Meguiar's Online because I wanted people to feel comfortable sharing their work while not feeling like they were bragging when creating their write-up and sharing pictures from their results.


    It's a good quote and as long as you can back it up then sharing your write-up and your pictures on our forum is a great way to showcase your talent as well as help and inspire others tackling their own detailing project.

    I can't imagine the cost of that paint job. That looks like a Mike Lavallee from Killer Paint job.

    I called Mike before buffing out this car and sent him the link to some picture of it on this forum and he told me it wasn't his work.
