Default What Products are you using?

I've used the wolfgang swirl remover and total finishing glaze 3.0. Worked really well for me. I also have some blackfire sealant that I need to try out. Always open to try new stuff so post up what you are using

I use 3m compounds/polishes with my buffer. Its expensive but its the best stuff I have used. Its what we used at Lexus in the body shop.

Oh boy, my OCD section. I'm a clean freak and learning as much as I can about this stuff. I keep the underside of my car as clean as the outside. When I was having my wheels/tires mounted, while they were mounting tires I was in the fenderwells cleaning everything in the wheelwell, suspension etc. They were looking at me like I was nuts! lol.

When my buddy Kevin (04sleeper) joins this board, he'll be able to give us a TON of tech on this stuff and E85. The guy is a serious guru on the stuff.

He's got me using Colonite 845 and the shine is amazing. I always keep Wizard detail spray in everyone of my cars with mircrofiber towels. The bugs are insane out here where I live and every single time I drive my car I have to wipe the bugs off so it doesn't eat up the clearcoat.

Here are some of my old rides and the stuff I used for these was the black ones I used ,"Turtles black box", and the Z, I used "Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0." And now with the white mustang there is nothing too it, I tried waxing it but it looked the same after I did, so its not as fun
(And yes I went a little overboard on my avalanche with the chrome so I apologize, it was not supposed to end up that extreme, but I couldn't stop at the time).

How long does it normally take to do a mustang with that "turtles black box" your first time out ?

Took me two to two and a half hours to do without using a polishing machine so I'm sure you would cut the time if you used a machine instead of just doing it by hand.
