Thanks to everyone who attended last night for making this such a success!

Did someone ask for pictures???







Amazing what a little Gold Class Trim Detailer can do, isn't it?





Giving props to NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0....



.... but putting it on just a wee bit too heavy!



The saturated pad was used to wax the other side of the car, without ever adding any more product to the pad!!

We also did a little demonstration of the power of hydrophobic polymer technology.

A demo hood was wiped down with isopropyl alcohol to remove anything from the surface. No defect correction was done, so swirls, holograms, etc all remained in place. Mark Kleis supplied a reverse stencil of the Ford Oval logo was then affixed to the panel and nothing more than Ultimate Quik Wax was applied to the open areas of the stencil. The stencil was then peeled off.

The effects of the Ultimate Quik Wax are immediately apparent here. The treated paint is darker and richer in color, and even the holograms are totally masked by this simple spray on, wipe off product.



Close up of the same piece - look at the difference in appearance! And that hologram running through the oval below the "o" is totally masked by the UQW.



Mike Pennington hits the hood with water, but the water won't stay on the UQW treated logo! The surrounding area has a sheet of water on it, but hydrophobic polymers just push the water away from the treated area.



This is a closeup of the "water wall" created by UQW forcing the water off the surface. This would be the upper right hand quadrant of the oval and the panel is still tilted at the angle shown in the photo above. That's water on the top half of the picture and dry paint in the bottom half. Keep in mind this is nothing more than Ultimate Quik Wax, there is NO base of NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0!

It was another good time at Meguiar's TNOG! A big crowd last night. Meguiar's attracts a lot of great people.

It was nice getting a chance to meet you in person Mark!

I wanted to buy a Supra TT back in 1995. But I bought a 1995 240sx and did an engine swap instead because I was into auto-x and track racing rather than drag racing.

If I had bought the Supra, it would be crazy by now. Sadly I don't have room for one now.

Any more pics?

Re: Pictures from Thursday Night Open Garage - July 23rd, 2009

Wow that Supra is CLEAN!

To me it's like a 300lb linemen, it might take awhile to get going. But once it picks up boost it's outta here.

Re: Pictures from Thursday Night Open Garage - July 23rd, 2009

I will try to post more pics of the supra when I get home
