Wow very impressive. What do you think about the "Black Wow"? I'm debating whether or not I should buy it.

 

Go ahead and open up a detail shop.

 

Black Wow, like everything else on the market, is NOT a permanent solution. However, You really do use very little of it for trims, and it lasts bout 2 months or so (for me). Only thing I don't like bout it is, it needs to dry completely. (depending on where you are at/time of day you apply it, it could take between a few hours to a day).
You have to make sure it dries before water hits it, or else it runs.....

 

I detail on the weekend as a side job lol.

 

Wow Mike-you've got quite a setup!

 

Thank you

 

Oh I see thank you for the reply. I envy your collection lol. I'm only slowly starting to build mine up but hopefully it will be worthy come summer time.

 

no problem! and no need to envy really, big collection takes time to build lol.

 

Nice collection

I so need some of this...

 

Don't everyone? lol. I love mine, it works well, restores MF towels to their original condition, it's a must have!

 

Where's a good place to get it from?

 

I buy mine from autogeek.
I heard micro fiber cleaner from www.pakshak.com is pretty good too.
And if you are looking for towels, Micropak Ultra Plush/Ultra Edgeless/and Ultra Soft Waffle Weave from pakshak are all pretty nice. Link here:

Oh, EuroW Shags are nice too, link here:

What's your take on the boars hair wheel brushes? Have you had any hairs falling out? after multiple uses?

Also, with your wheel nut and cavity cleaner did it include all those extra sponges or did you have to purchase separately?

 

1. I don't have issues with the hair falling out, but I've read people with that problem, I guess I am lucky?
However, the hairs fall out everytime I use those "concour's style interior brushes".

2. It came with 1 set of the sponges when I bought mine, the other set I had to buy extra. Honestly, don't get it, I've never even used 'em lol.

 

Hmm it seems like a hit or miss with those boar brushes. Have you ever had those E-Z detail brushes for your wheels? I'm debating between getting the regular and mini size for those or the boar's hair brushes.

I notice you have a lot of different pads and polishes. What's your combination for the TL? Do you go with the orange for cut then white to polish?

 

I have had good luck with Prima swirl + Orange pad + Griot's DA and 1 step the process.
See this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/wash-wax-23/polished-2010-cbp-tl-s-794340/
This TL was a 1 step job with the combo mentioned above.

 

And I have the EZ mini, great for cleaning the barrels of wheels, Face of the wheels I use the boar's hair + cheap wash mitt from pepboys dedicated to cleaning wheels.

 

Oh wow crazy how a 1 step job polish can do that much correction. No sealant or wax put on the 4G after?
I was thinking more along the lines of this guide http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-P...-pearl-part-1/ and what other members have recommended with Acura's soft paint

Do you have a specific recommendation for a color like KBP?

 

I actually used P21S 100% Carnauba as the LSP. P21S gives it a nice sharp reflection, but it is not as durable as some of the other waxes. But then again it's an easy wipe on wipe off wax. Often times, easy wipe on wipe off wax doesn't last as long as tricky to apply waxes that tends to last longer (due to higher carnauba content). So it's really up to what you prefer.
I've tried Menzerna Powerlock (sealant), and it lasted about 4 months for me. You can always apply Powerlock, then top it off with a Carnauba wax after the Powerlock cures (I let it cure for 12 hours).
www.theragshack.com is running a clearance on DODO Juice waxes right now, I bit the bullet and bought 1 of each (except the supernatural because I have other waxes similar to it).
Word to the wise: If you decide to use a "hard wax", it is best to heat up the applicator pad with either your working lamp, or hairdryer, so the wax softens up for easy application. If you decide to use a "soft wax", then you don't need to heat the applicator pad up.

 

Cool thanks for the info. Lol I'll have to e-mail the guy to see if he ships to Canada.

 

He does, someone else on detailingbliss.com has asked him. I think it's 10 dollars or something for shipping, you'd have to confirm with him.

 

I just checked, he is completely out of stock on all DODO juice waxes.....

 

If you want something durable you can try Nattys blue by poorboy's, it's an extremely durable wax according to this test here:

Got LSPs?

 

Dude, don't microwave the stuff!

 

Good thing its not a microwave...

 

, wine cooler dude.

 

lol I know
Discount wine cooler @ best buy.

 

Damn no wonder he sold out of those waxes so quick. Somebody had to buy almost one of each lol.. I was tempted to get the blue one but was waayyyy too slow to act on it.

I was looking on detailingbliss and saw Americans are getting Autoglym HD wax for $20 at Wal-Mart. WTF!?!?! It's only available in stores at Canadian Tire over here. It goes for $50 and it's never on sale

 

lol yeah, at $20 dollars, who cares if it only last 6-8 weeks, that's a f*cking bargain right there!
Oh yeah, I bought my tub of AGHD for...... roughly $7 dollars! Thank you Walmart clearance

 

wow quite a collection you have there.

 

Thanks .

 

nice collection, very well organized

 

Thank you

 

help me! I can't stop buying paste waxes, lol.

And you guessed it, I've got Victoria Chaos, Mayhem, and Concour's coming in the mail, and am itching to buy some CG Celeste Dettaglio...

 

Not be mention Zymol Glasur and Ioncoat Naviwax Ultimate

 

you got one hell of a collection going!

Just curious, how often do you detail a car?

 

Actually, I haven't detailed a car since early October.
I just like buying waxes, strip the old one from my car, and slap the new one on to see how I like it, lol.
I might be selling some waxes on the forums soon.

 

OP, of everything pictured in your posts, I am most pleased to see the Collinite 845IW.


I know, I know... Who the hell am I?
