Well, for those that consider detailing a sickness, I happen to have a picture of someone, who wants to keep his identity hidden, that has taken detailing during the winter months to a whole new level!

Two weeks ago, I handed our 16-year old daughter the G-100 and a bottle of ColorX and had her polish out her shower stall. Except for the textured area on the floor, the rest of the shower stall *Sparkles*.
ColorX cleaned, polished and left behind a protective wax coating in one step. The G-100 did most of the work which Heather liked and the Cleaner/Wax enabled her to do it in one step.
The shower stall/bathtub was in pretty good shape to start with, we parents just know that if she performs this maintenance process in a timely fashion, it will stay looking brand new. A lesson we hope lasts her a lifetime.

Dear god, I've created monsters here.
Mike, sorry I didn't see this until today (plus was on vacation last week). The counter tops are still looking pretty good, though me being the perfectionist I am I'm noticing a bunch of scratches in the counter tops, I'm half way tempted to try wet sanding next time. Still the rest of the family is happy, my mom brags on me about it still.
On another note I also tried the rotary on an outside window that had really heavy hard water etchings (Phoenix has the hardest water I've ever encountered), and heavy cut cleaner on a wool pad didn't even touch it. I even tried 400 wet sanding it, that didn't work either. So if you ever are thinking of that don't bother. Though I may have to try my PC on my shower doors. I did try applying NXT to get the water to bead off, but that only lasted one day. Anyone have any suggestions for what works good on shower doors?Later,
Ricky

Rick - any 'before' pictures of the Corian tops?
just wondering, but i assume no one is polishing/waxing the floor their shower/bath tub, right? cause that be one slippery shower/bath tub.
and my family's dishwasher (a Bosch) has stainless steel on the inside. any suggestion as to what i could use to make that sucker shine, yet still be safe for washing dishes?Reid

No before pictures, sorry. I couldn't quite capture it with the camera, but the counter tops had been there for about 4 years and just from the general wear and tear were getting dull though, using the buffer brought it back. I wish I could call it my own work, but it's not, we have another white piece of corian for a bar counter top, which is mainly decorative and not used. Before it was put in my dad polished on it for a few hours and got it extremely glossy and has remained that way for the same period of time.Later,

Really? It was just a normal monsoon storm, we get those every year. Must have been a slow news day. Luckily my driver has temporarily stolen the garage until the Camaro comes home.Later,
