Keep waiting, the weather sucks and I wont be detailing for a while until I'm out of school; I do have certain days off where I have an M3 to do later on, but it's weeks away. Dun worry, I'll post threads...

Ahhh no sir. Optimum is another company, just like MG's, just ALOT smaller. Their full name is Optimum Ploymer Technologies, and like I said, they created some of my FAVROITE polishes along with, IMO, the only true "Spray Wax". It's a true synthetic and I have gotten 6+ weeks of protection from a single application, which only takes maybe 10 minutes.

PC is an acronym for Porter Cable, a tool company. We say PC because there is a VERY popular tool made by them. The PC 7424/7336 is a random orbital "sander" that was adopted into detailing a long ways back...I want to say at least ten years ago. To make it simple, you would call this a buffer...but here in lies the issue: it's not a buffer. It doesn't just spin the pad in a circle, like a Rotary (that's that big green thing that says Makita)...instead, the pad spins AND orbits, so it's never in one place and one time. It's a very easy to use tool in the right hands, and allows for a decent amount of paint correction. By no means is it a rotary, though, which can take away a much more substantial amount ot paint away. That's what makes it great, because you don't really have to worry about burning through paint and creating nasty halograms.

Keep the questions coming guys, I love it!

Mitchubishi,

Dude... where are your outcomes on your work? Still awaiting pics...



WhatNoise,

lol... guess i should ask them to pay me some royalty for my 'commercial'. Anyway, the distributorship of Meguiars in my country suck big time. They dont even have sponsorship for avid fans who are willing to advertise for them! suck big time.

I do wash super cars, but I don't get 5 grand yet .

Notiguy, yeha my bad on not getting pics. Give me a week or two for my friend to set them up for me...I've got quite a few exotics I'm sure EVERYONE would like to see...not to mention my own black evo. I just don't have time for pics and whatnot these days...I just need to do my work and get onto the next job .
