Scion tC Job

Alright so i figured i would do my car today. Now at first i was going to use Optimum Compound Then Optimum polish. well turbo wax sent me some of their compound. i tried it on the spoiler and fell in love. I ended up using the turbo wax stuff. It wasnt that it necessarily performed better, it was just a little easier to use. Followed that with Optimum Polish. Then Poorboys EX w/ Carnuba. Finished with Poorboys Natty's red paste wax. The paint looks amazing and the car doesnt even look like it has anywhere near 23k miles on it.


Pictures:








Shots of the paint:

I try my best to make you fall in love with all of our products, but we came short-handed.



Thank you for the props though.

nah i like your products. when i want to do a quick wax your wax is perfect. goes on easy comes off easy. also you know we had a misunderstanding on the other.

and if i can get some $$ detail jobs lined up ill order an oxidation block

but why isnt the compound on your website??? is it more of a special thing? it produced equal results with the optimum and the only thing i could figure would seperate them would be price.

yes, we don't list any of our body shop line products, one day after we establish the regular over the counter base then we will add them to the site, or maybe we do like we did with the swirl remover which is the SAME body shop product but is available for the everyday consumer thanks for the test do, and again the car looks very nice !

yea man....the only thing i would say for an over-the-counter base would be a little less aggressive so the average consumer wouldnt be so "scared" of it.

and actually i did a little spot wetsanding and your compound made that extremely easy to pull-off

it does next to nothing....on cobalts and tc's atleast that i know of the strut towere are so close to the fire wall that there is little to no flex there. you would benefit more from new endlinks which probly woulda cost less that your strut bar
