Detailing enjoyment

Chuck and I worked together detailing the cars. It is a noticable diffrence in time when you detail cars with two people. Chuck has showed me a new way to rinse my car. The technique is called sheeting. Its freakin awsome. Once you scrub the car down and start rinsing it the water adheres to its self and takes most of all the water away. The easiest way to do this is by using the hose without a spray attachment. After washing and rinsing the cars we used spray and wipe and some black hole. The cars looked immaculate. We didn't even use Zaino wax.

sheeting

LOL..those aren't Photo's, he actually airbrushed those on there! Makes it seem like you're driving on a nice warm day even when it's cold and winter like outside.

Hey, everyone has their favorite products. I started with Meguires products but quickly found poorboys quite a lot superior. But heck we even used to have a guy here that not only used Zaino on his car but for health care and and bathing. I think he even ate it for breakfast.

But use what ever you like, its just a car. Darktech and I just posted the pictures to show what a lot of fun detailing can be and we had a really great day.

Did not want this thread to be a discussion of what product is better than the other.

That probably belongs in the detailing section.

Peace and love Duckie, no offense meant and I enjoy your post so please do not flame me back. But you can flame Darktech, that I enjoy
