In the beginning of january I did a full detail on my 335i. I topped with a coat of XMT carnauba finishing glaze with collinite 845IW on top. I've always loved the durability even in the florida...

So i was detailing the bathroom this morning before work.... :buffing:



Anyways, I bought some new clorox cleaners the other day and they came out with a new bottle design that has the tube...

yea, i'm jealous

i use APC+ diluted 5-1 on wheels/tires/fender liners. No issues so far!

Quite a few shows are giving coverage of the event. Any idea when they'll air?

microfiber towels are designed to grab and hold... not something i'm keen to use on a dirty vehicle. I have always opted for multiple sheepskin mitts with heavy foam gun action providing lubrication.

where do you sign up?

Month and a half old application of collinite. Just washed it an hour ago :)

You can see the grills I blacked out and removal of the orange reflectors on the bumper I painted last week as well!

5 gallon buckets with foam handles. Doesnt hurt your hand as much when lugging around your 2 bucket method!

I always used 4" pads in the past, and recently purchased a set of 6.5" ones. Having used both, i much prefer the 4's because of reasons stated above relating to the pads not spinning with the...

*shrug* i drove a scion tc for years and quite a few people told me how wrong of me it was to drive a chick car. haters gonna hate :D

:surrender: that seems like it would be impossible!

about 6 hours. xmt 1 took the longest of everything. I wasn't getting the cut I remembered from the past with it. really happy with xmt2 on an orange though!

I do need to invest in a lug nut...

Losing firmness is something i'm used to. That realistically happens the first time they get washed. I'm talking about the pad and velcro backing separating.

I'm just trying to get an idea of the durability y'all are getting on LC 6.5" pads. I recently bought a combo pack, and i'm in the middle of the 2nd full detail with these pads and ever so suddenly...

I didn't. I sold all my supplies years ago when I moved to Orlando for college. Ended up repurchasing a lot of my old favorites a few weeks ago now that I'm in a solid house!

you're surprised that collinite lasts a while? There's a reason *everyone* uses it for the cold months :P

If the new menzerna polishes are half as good as the old series, you'll be happy with them. I've use the XMT lineup in the past and was pretty happy with it... got a new shipment in a couple weeks...
