Great writeup. I saw a 3 inch pad in one of the earlier pictures, is this something in the works by meguiar's, or is it one of the already available 3" pads from other companies?I want 4" Softbuff pads!Comment

George-
It is an SM Arnold pad. Wish I had better news for you on that one.

Sneek-
Yes I did... I haven't been able to upload a picture on my other MOL name, "Kevin_Brown", since I tried to upload one that, apparently, wasn't formatted properly.
Now, no matter what I try, no pic will get through. It's a shame because I certainly wouldn't want to lose all the posts under that name. Mike can't seem to figure out how to purge whatever it is that seems to be blocking things up. If anyone knows a lot about how things work... HELP ME!Comment

Hi Kevin,
This is one of the most interesting write-ups I've ever seen! Nice work. I can only imagine how long it took to create each one of the images.
As for the uploading images problem, hopefully this will be corrected when we upgrade the vbulletin software and at the same time we'll be looking into the gallery software.
Let's start a different thread for the uploading issues as it would be a waste to take this awesome write-up off-topic any further.

Thanks, Mike!
I appreciate MOL and its members, so I thought that spending a little more time presenting the rub-out was worth the effort.
For me, the best way to learn the in's & out's of software is to USE it on a self-proclaimed 'project' such as this one.Comment

this is one the move thoroughest (is that a real word?) detailed (literally) posting ever. thanks for taking the time out to break down each bit for us. it's hard to capture the work/labor portion of the detailing biz...normally all you see are before and after pics, no "while at work" pics.
good stuff kevin!2001 Vortex Blue New BeetleComment

I had a feeling that you did because the paint was perfect! Alpine should replace the rear glass and the car would be flawless!
the X5 was the only swirl free car at the local SCN car show.

Thanks guys for the kind words...
I can't take credit for the flawless paint at the event you listed... I only had a part in the wet-sand and buff-out session.
Perhaps they had a local guy dial in the X5 up there? When did you see it?
