Detailed the Mach last night/morning!

[MachNU]

Had been 2 months. So figured it was time for a serious detail. Full paint correction of the hood, fenders, a-pillars, quarters, and trunk. 12 hour seal, and 2 coats of wax! Engine bay got a full detail and dressing, along with the interior!

yeah i feel ya. i thought it looked better in the sig lol. and i mean i understand the function > form thing, but i'd find a way to not scrub if i had 3 inches of wheel gap on a sports car lol.

[roscoe]

nice! all that time and effort really paid off

[MachNU]

Yeah I will get a picture of it sitting on a lvl surface. Then its only about a 2 inch gap. The next drop i can do will drop it another inch but then it scrubs like crazy on bumps and shit!

[MachNU]

That thing is junk!!!!!




But it sure is pretty!

This is true on both accounts! :lmao:

Did you check your vertical surfaces with light to know this?

What was your process with polishes? :)

Seeing as how I own a detailing business yes. Hit the whole car after each stage with a 500w shop light. Thats why I know theres still swirl marks in the front bumper, doors and rear bumper sense I did not touch any of those areas.

Also what do you mean by process? I cut the whole car with M105/PFW jeweled it and removed buffer tracks with M205/LC-Orange then sealant on the car for 45 minutes, let cure for 12 hours, then 2 coats of Nattys Red!

Did you check with fluorescent light also? Not doubting you, just wondering. :)

I love M105 and 205. Great great stuff. Does Red smell as good as Blue? I had a tub of Blue and would wax everything with that stuff regardless of color just to smell it!

Yep not one swirl, zero RIDS, and no holograms! And yes the Red smells better than blue. Love using it, just sad that the tube I have is no longer produced. You can only get the small tube now!

Sounds like I need to get some Red along with my order of Supernatural.. if not just for the smell then to wax friends cars. :)

Are you on Autopia as well?

Nope did not like that site. I prefer Autogeek. But you likw Supernatural? I have a sample of it, wasnt cheap and I did not like it. Not a fan of hard bead waxes. Plus I have tested it against the Nattys line and was not impressed. For just that slight bit better liguid depth but less slick feeling look was not enough to make me pay $160-180 for it!

By chance have you tried Fuzion Wax? Been hearing alot about it lately and am planning on getting some on order to test out!

I wish I could find it for $160... it's $200 on autogeek (my usual go-to place). I have a sample of it too and am contemplating buying some. The liquid Souveran I got last time was a let down and it was only $60! I still have 2/3 a bottle of the stuff.

I have not tried Fuzion wax yet. For some reason, I just can't like Pinnacle or Wolfgang any more. The whole making multiple brands of the same thing bugs me.

Off topic, but ONR works REALLY well as a vinyl-applying lubricant. There really isn't much that ONR can't do.

Also works great for diluting for a clay lubricant. Speaking of which I am about in need of ordering another bottle, down to a half a one.

Yeah I have supernatural and am just not happy with it. Will stick to my Nattys White and Red. Ordering some more Blue next time. On top of some WG Fuzion to try it out.

I like how that Fuzion gives a free refill. That's very cool of them.

Yep, But I have been hearing that its actually competeing with Nattys and SN in quality.

Well, it's a lot more expensive than the Nattys and less than half that of SN (due to the free refill), so, instinct says stick with Nattys. Blue always did bead for many months. One of the few i've tried that did.

Well blue is the dark paint wax, red being the light, and white being the general wax!

Oh trust me I dont doubt that it can work on any color, but to see the most benefit out of it for the darker cars.

Looks good. ever try s100 or collinite 476s?

i dont use collinite! Never was happy with any of there automotive or marine line products! and I take it you mean Solevan(sp)100?

[smoknlegend]

ive just known it by s100, you can get it from the harley dealer and its made by the same company as p21s. Very similar to it, half the price, and lasts a fairly decent amount of time. Looks pretty good too.

As far as collinite, I only use it if i know the person isnt going to wax in a while, otherwise, its not my go to stuff (tough as nails though).

[changaroo]

you are my detailing hero.

[smoknlegend]

Also forgot to ask, are you using a rotary or DA?

Collinite is a major marine detailing company. One of the main reasons I dont like there automotive line. Clear coat and Gel coat are two different worlds!

P21S is a company. Also S100 is a company as well! Mainly dealing in motorcycle products!

p21s is their "automotive" line and s100 is the motorcycle line. BTW; forgot to mention its their paste wax. There has been alot of talk on how different the p21s paste wax is from the s100. General thought is there is a slight difference, but one is cheaper than another, but provides a very similar deep lasting look. Though they are slightly different, they are the same company, but different lines.

I will have to look into it. I have not seen many talk about it. Right now like me and OTG where talking about, my sights are on Fuzion and Natty's Blue!

Ive wanted to try Fuzion, but cant see to spend that much yet on a wax. Maybe the $100 for Pinnacle Sovereign paste, but $200 not yet.

As far as natty's, ive tried the blue before, 2 coats on my legend, and it washed off in about 2 weeks. This is with an alcohol wipe before application.

[smoknlegend]

Do you get all your supplies online? If you do, try going to a paint jobber, like a sherwin williams automotive finishes, thats where ive gotten my meguiars stuff and 3m cheaper than autogeek.

Hit me up on aim if you want, so i can stop clouding your detail thread :P

Really? Did you jewel the paint prior to adding the wax? I have used Nattys Red and White for my business and seen results for over a month! :thinking:

But yeah I know what you mean on dropping $200 on the waxes but in this case you have to pay to look good! :(

I shop around. Do sherwin williams carry M105/205 & the Solo system from Meguiars? Also theres limited supplies I buy from 3M.

I used Megs 83 then 80 wiped with alcohol then Nattys. Ill have to try it again, could have just been a bum batch.

And yes, they sell both. I picked up my Solo system there for $70 (32 oz #86, red wool, yellow wool, yellow diamond pad, black diamond pad, 7" backing plate, and meguiars hat.) My local Sherwin stopped stocking alot of megs stuff cause it didnt sell, but they can order it and have it by wednesday's.
