Not to muck up the thread with baseball shit. I actually liked Pauly, dude was a class act all the way around.
He played the game the right way imo

Car definitely had water spots but they werent noticeable from most angles. Happy with that little leaf blower for sure.

Whats the hotness in quick detail these days?

Don’t you have ONR already?

Don’t you have ONR already?

I more meant for cleaning up water spots and shit like that. I know I can use cut ONR but I like keeping a separate spray around too.

Paint gloss from P&S is good for small touch ups

I still have a ton of the Ultima waterless that Jim got everybody on, but I believe Ultima is the same way. You can dilute it at a different ratio than the rinseless wash and use it as QD. Instructions are probably on the bottle.

5hrs to wash 2 vehicles.
Quick wash on my truck, done in a hour.
Hers had so much fucking rail dust. Shit was even in the door jambs. I had to use Iron X twice to get that shit off. Topped it off with a coat of Reload. Gave her interior a spot detail as it was clean. Her washes the rest of the summer will now be simple.

Spent hours bringing this turd back from the dead for my kid.

Man this car was FUCKED UP ???

Looks pretty good for a 10 year old daily.

I searched both pictures for Jim creeping in the bushes. Disappointing.

I like the headlights, what brand are they and how do you like em??

I like the headlights, what brand are they and how do you like em??

They're The Retrofit Source. They required a quick 10 minutes worth of aiming after installing, but other than that, they've been great. Been in there for a few years now. They're the second iteration of them, as the first gen had an issue with light reflecting and melting the inner housing, but these haven't.

What's the go-to for ceramic detailer spray, Turtle Wax?

What's the go-to for ceramic detailer spray, Turtle Wax?

I've used this and megs. Water beads for awhile after wards, but dust still collects. It does help a bit cause at work I'll just spray a hose at the car and it'll look like I just washed it. Paint feels super slick too

I bought a gallon of P&S Bead Maker late last year. I really like it. Paint is really slick with this on top of the ceramic coating.

I also use Bead Maker on top of my coating.

IMO there's no substitute for an actual real ceramic coating. If it sprays on, it's not a real ceramic product and is no better than a quick detail spray.
