wanna do mine for me! lol

 

for enough money sure.

parts of this need to be updated. i no longer use anything but air to dry cars. air dry, instant detail done.

 

Haha. Beautiful cars man...your guide has been a big help.

What kind of results can I expect if I follow, but without a polisher? I have a few very light scratches I would like to take care of...I purchased a kit from Mequier that includes clay bars and a quick detailing spray and a couple compounds for scratches and swirls. Going to wax after all that and a few washes...not quite ready to purchase a polisher but I don't need mirror-like results just yet.

Also, where would you fit any touch up to the paint into this regiment? How well would touched up areas hold up to a polisher if I do get one?

 

i have never messed with touch up paint. so i cant say. you may get decent results with your kit, but you need heat to break down most compounds

 

hey punk ass are u home yet?

 

yes sir i r

 

ok for sure mna. het let me know how much deionized water u need. my pops said hell go business partners with u on it.

 

dam stu i never seen this..nice write up man..im def. using this..haha..wont be as good as u tho..

 

Question. Would running water through something like a Pur/Brita filter system help a lot with water spots.

Water spots are my arch rival and I need it clean and clear.

 

after you finish washing, for a final rinse take your nozzle off the hose and "flood" your car, meaning: use regular flow water pressure and start at the top and work your way down. The surface tension of the water will pull most of the beads off your car...that is if it's got a good wax job on it.

less beads of water = less water spots .....and the quick detail that you use to clay bar is easy to use between waxings to remove waterspots. just spray on an applicator, wipe a section down and wipe off. Should become part of the washing routine.

tech to try and get rid of water spots is either clean water. or softened water. water softeners work decently for water spots.

im not too sure about brita water purifiers. that would take forever tho. just park ur car under shade and dry it off.

 

I was thinking something like this. Fill it up and walk away. Wouldn't take too long to flow 5 gallons through to the bottom bucket.

Apparently the Mr. Clean autodry system works pretty well. Purifies the water so you don't have the minerals in the water causing spots.

I've worked out a system of washing my car in sections rather than the entire thing and trying to dry really fast. It takes a while and you have to overlap if you spray too hard, but I get very good results with it.

 

this is a great how too! those cars look like f***'n glass

 

i hear its a pretty shitty product, but i havent used one. how do you wash yoru car in segments?

 

I didnt see anything about a grit guard.



Its a must for washing a car to keep down on swirls.

 

^^^ i like ur bucket

 

yea ive never had access to one, but my two bucket method hasnt let me down yet

 

You can get them at autogeek or any other large online car detailing place for about $10.

Its just another way to prevent swirls from being made and destroying our sanity.

 

oh im well aware where i can get them!

what state are you from?
