Hey OP, Sorry you had to go through some unpleasantness to get some actual help :(

Although I dont have expensive Work VS-XX wheels, my Subaru STI does have some sensitive wheels which take a lot...

Now that I've got your attention with that title :)

I have a 2013 Subaru STI in Satin White Pearl. This color combined with the Subaru soft paint has been a battle keep up but with regular...

Howdy folks, it's been a very long time since I posted here but I've been really spending a lot of time re-aquainting myself with detailing since getting my new car (well it was new a year ago).

I...

Throwing my vote in for Poorboy's Super Slick & Suds. Tried a few others (Meg's GC, DG901) but I always come back to the PB's. Amazingly slick, works great and smells so good you almost want to drink...

Ah, forgot I had a shot of my interior taken a couple days ago. Floor looks a bit dirty as it's been about a month since I detailed the interior, and the mats are in need of a good steam-cleaning.

First of all, amazing detail and write-up Mike. I learned alot just reading through the picture quotes. At the same time, I hate you, because it makes me want to spend so much more money to buy the...

Haha, thanks. I'm looking forward to next spring and some new products to try!

Wow.

Looking at those before pictures, I can't believe that there had been other detailers that had worked on it.

You did an amazing job. And yeah, I like that rear quarter as well. The...

Thaks for the reply :)

Yeah, i'm a little torn between trying the Wolfgang TSR 3.0 or Menzerna polishes the next time. I've seen such amazing results posted from people using the Menzerna (even on...

Thanks very much for the advice. I'll try that.

I've heard great things about the 303 but haven't bought any yet. Looks like another product to tack to the list on my next order :xyxthumbs:

Yeah, it was really hard to do. Especially under the mirrors. I did that by hand with 4" pads.

Edited my previous reply to you about your engine detailing if you didn't see it.

Yeah. I wasn't happy with the 6.5" pads with the divots at all. The curve along the body just under the door was brutal to do with those. 7424 would stop spinning almost instantly. With the lone 5"...

Thanks for the reply!

They're Xenon. TSX projectors retrofitted into stock Civic headlights. Hella ballasts and Phillips 4300K D2S bulbs.

Still trying to piece together parts for a S2000 AP1...

Well, i've had all the stuff (7424+XMT polishes) for a year but never got around to polishing my Kaitlyn (yeah, I named her. First new car i've ever owned and I always wanted an Si so she's kind of...

Very very nice work. That's such a gorgeous car, love to see one in person up close (only seen one around here and it was going the other way down the freeway).

Incredible job. That interior must have been a nightmare :eek:

Didn't realize how dirty those seats were until you showed the before and after. Awesome stuff.

Oh man, I must have that.

Those are really really nice. Home Depot Canada doesn't have them on the site, but i'll have to stop by and check the store. Thanks!

I need to pickup the typical Halogen lamps on a tripod, they'll pretty much only be used for Detailing but for detailing, better to go for 500W or 1000W?

Brighter is better? Or there is such a...

Thanks for the replies!



Ok. yeah I had planned to do a small spot first to test, i'll try starting with the XMT2 and a white pad and then try an orange pad if it still needs a bit more.

Hi everyone,

Long time member, but mostly just a lurker heh. I'm getting ready next week to do a polish on my 2006 Rallye Red Civic Si (first time using my PC7424). I have all the XMT polishes...

I should've gotten a pic beside it while you were midway so I could've said "I was there"!

Fantastic job Carlos. Those engine pics don't do it justice, I was floored by how clean you got that...

Haha. Didn't realize you were the same dude from 8thcivic.com :p

Sounding more and more like a detailing gathering. Well I certainly won't complain if it's my car! I'll bring the detailing products and the refreshments and the food.

:cheers:
