If you were to do it fore free, Id be all for saying yes. Though im actually surprised. My paint is in really good shape considering its 8 years old. I dont see hardly any swirl markes

thats good :yes but you'd be surprised what will come up under a 500w+ work light / a good lighting source, look at it from separate angles in bright direct sun light

I can teach you how to be a great detailer lol, just let me know when you want to get serious :shiftyeyes

03torchGT · Nov 30, 2012

I don't know if I trust myself to do anything other than wash it to be honest lol

SON1C · Nov 30, 2012

I make it fool proof dude, trust me :yes

03torchGT · Nov 30, 2012

ha alright well in the spring I'll have to work at it then. I'll probably be sending you pm's with questions lol I have some swirls I need to get rid of too

SON1C · Nov 30, 2012

well if you want the best deal on products, we can figure out your budget and get you set up with everything you want and need, and then you can pick it all up during the crazy christmas sales, some great deals to be had, otherwise you'll be paying more in spring, totally up to you though.

03torchGT · Nov 30, 2012

Alright I'll let you know. Probably won't have the money for awhile tho that stuff is pricey.

SON1C · Nov 30, 2012

its seems really expensive as you pick everything up, but once you have it all you'll be producing much higher results and the products are all much higher concentrated than otc products, so say you use megs gold class which is the standard otc wash, you use an oz per gallon, if/when you switch to chemical guys wash and gloss or wash and clear, you'll be using a capful per 4-5 gallons , which is roughly a 1/4 of an oz. and the 16 oz of that can be had for like 6 bucks I broke down the numbers in comparison, its a much better buy and if you buy it in a gallon its like 0.003 cents per wash or something lol

03torchGT · Nov 30, 2012

yeah I've been using the chemical guys wash and gloss for awhile now and really like it.

mikeyfitz · Nov 30, 2012

Damn, I need to get into this detailing ****.

B's04gt · Nov 30, 2012

The only thing I dont understand is how the products compliment each other...

For instance I used Meguiars Gold Class for wash, Meguiars clay next, Then I use the M105/M205 for cutting and polishing, then I use Meguiars wax with BFWD sealant.. Its held up REALLY well still beads nice in my opinion for being on there for ~7months untouched.... with its once a week washing and almost never coming out of the garage except for nice days.

The initial investment is pretty hefty, but if you get good enough you can do it on the side for money and it pays for itself.

The reason youre getting good durability is that your car is garage kept, in that case i would opt for a nuba wax to bring out the luster of the paint.

Most really good professional detailing products that are good will work together, you could use a Menzerna Final polish after a Megs compound, then wax with something else, just do the right prep work

What I dont understand is how do the nano products and nuba or whatever compliment each other. How does one bond better to the car or other products...:dunno

Edit: Lets move this to a detailing thread...

some do, I personally didn't see much of an improve with a step of sf4500 after 205, was definitely not worth turning my two step 40 hour correction into a 50-60 3 step

that depends I'll go in depth in the other thread lol
