  • First Detail of the Season

    I've been so busy detailing other people's cars this spring that I just recently had time to give my car the royal treatment (although the wax that was on there only saw the elements about 10 times from November to March). The process included all Meguiars products: NXT wash, clay bar w/ Quick Detailer, NXT Speed Detailer, Speed Glaze (#80), Synthetic Sealant (#21), Hi Tech Yellow Wax (#26), PlastX, NXT Glass Cleaner, NXT Metal Polish, All Season Dressing (ASD) on trim and Endurance on the tires. PC used for #80 and #21, #26 applied 2 days ater #21 by hand w/ microfiber applicator.

    I've always liked pictures taken in parking garages, so I tried it out. I wasn't happy w/ the lighting conditions (bright sun outside and flourecent lights on inside) but I did get some nice pics:

      looks good man.
      a tip on the parking garage shots: do it at night

      and look for lights that bounce off something before hitting your car, direct lighting can be harsh

        Yeah, next time I try pics in the garage it will be at nite, hopefully after everyone is gone for the day so I don't get some random shopper in the background (all parking garages here in Burlington, VT are for the malls). I was disappointed to already see the lights on at 8:30 in the morning.
