This is my 2nd car (I've had 3 total, all Jags) and has been in my possession for the last 3 1/2 years. The previous owner was a fanatic about maintenance and it has been a dream to own and drive.
I began detailing with an Autoglym wax in the UK (I'm prior Air Force). When I moved back to the US 6 months later, I discovered what #26 and a soft T-shirt could do. I used a 25 year old natural chamois kept in mint shape, the likes I have never been able to find to this day. I used Omega Glaze and dropped it in favor of #7.
Once I made the discovery of microfiber for applying/removing products, I found Gold Class. I have since tried many of the premium waxes by Mothers, Zymol, Blackfire, Zaino, P21S, and Pinnacle. I settled on P21S and Pinnacle for their ease of use and since I had a jar of both, I was set for a while.
I have since wrote a 14 page article on the do's and don'ts of detailing to help out people with questions on how/why to wash a car, what I prefer to use and why, and how to achieve some of the same results. Mike's signature quote to stick with something is something I've been saying to others for a while, along with "if you drop it on the ground, your done with it." I'm proud to be Car Crazy!!
Once I signed up for the Meguiar's detailing day last weekend, I purchased a PC, #83, some extra microfiber towels, and most importantly, NXT! I can't wait for the goodie box to arrive.
At last, here are some pics of the car taken last year. I tied for second to two much newer cars in the Properautocare.com sizzling shine contest. I was pleased then, I can't wait to see the before/after with the PC.
