    There was a lot of interest in learning how to use the G100 Dual Action polisher!

      After washing, claying, polishing and waxing the gloss and shine was pretty apparent from any angle!

        Here are some of my own pictures

        The swirls on the blue Evo


        Mike showing us how to look for swirls after using StratchX


        The before shot


        The after shot (that white line is some wax that we left on to see the border between the polished and unpolished sides)


        gratuitous reflections shot - it's not perfect because we didn't polish the entire hood



        Thanks for everything Meguiar's and Mike!

              Polishing Paint removes the stress in my life, and the swirls on my car.

                thanks so much mike and meguiars for hosting us. I (and all of us) learned a ton about everything, and have new products to try out! for anyone that hasnt tried out the new wheel cleaners, we used the multi piece wheel cleaner (orange bottle), and it worked phenominal for removing months of caked on brake dust with little effort required (i hope someone has before and after pictures from today, its simply amazing)

                mike, you're an excellent teacher and went to great lengths to teach everyone, no matter what skill level, anything and everything they desired to know about detailing/washing/polishing/waxing etc... he even told a joke or two aparently we werent the most lively group thats been through there, but that didnt stop mike from trying his best to wake us up so we could learn to the fullest

                and mike, you were asking if these cars are fast. basically the answer is: yes, very. i'll come by some wednesday night open garage over the summer and we can go for a quick drive - under the speed limit of course (if you're allowed/willing of course)
                ^^^

                thanx again mike and meguiar's for hosting our club

                big props to the people that made it despite the rain

                i definitately walked away with some tips on things i've been doing wrong when detailing my car

                joseph for pointing out the 8 side microfiber wipe down technique and taking pics of me and my ride at the end

                matt i have some pics of alex's car before the wash...did mike really use the multi piece wheel cleaner (orange bottle)?

                i must've been busy fooling with my camera...dang so that's how they got rid of alex's brake dust on his rims/calipers...i was wondering what kind of magic they used without breaking a sweat

                let me know if you want/need the before pics mike

                alex your car looks amazing now...looks like it rolled off the dealer lot

                    i'm pretty sure. i remember a wheel cleaner being sprayed on, and i thought we determined that the orange bottle was the only one that was safe for the wheels and brembos.

                    that stuff was amazing though, the brushed helped too
