Some upgrades/pics of the products i use
 

Well I made a few upgrades over the past month or so along with some new products I'm pretty excited to use (some of which just came in today) This is about 3/4 of my stuff. The rest is located at one of the shops that hires me out normally about a car a week like an outside contractor as they are a high end low volume dealer. I also did this to give people an idea of what this stuff costs me and that i do not use cheap all in one polishes etc.

Anyway heres a couple of the major upgrades i bought....rounded prices of the products located under the pics

Flex 3401 vrg forced rotation orbital polisher- $280
Flex Lk603VVB cirular polisher- 240
(these are currently to top of the line german polishers available for cars)

Wolfgang concours fuzion wax- $175 supposed to be better then my current favorite pinnacle souveran not to mention last almost twice as long the site i bought it from also supplies pinnacle souveran and says this wax is souveran on steriods ( I havent had a chance to use it yet so we will see)

The jar next to the wolfgang wax in one picture is pinnicle souveran- $85 this is my current favorite wax for dark colors I've tried just about everything including the $2000 plus zymol vintage glaze and feel that this gives comparable results (although it only lasts for about 2 months where zymol is supposed to last a year) and is the best bang for the buck wax around although it is by no means cheap.

New wolfgang concours total swirl remover 16 oz- 34.99
New wolfgang finishing glaze 16 oz (its really a final polish)-29.99

Water filtration system (only filters shown)- $140 this will actually just make my life easier by purifing my wash water and filtering out any sediments so i will get no water spots and min. micro marring when washing. (Basically a britta filter for my hose)

System one polishing system for circular polishers-99.99 I saw this used and had to give it a try in the demo's ive seen it looks to work amazing. I have not had the chance to use it yet so we will see soon.


Heres a few other pics of products and just a few prices below them you get the idea... this stuff isnt cheap

Each smaller white bottle of menzerna is approx $25-$30 while the bigger ones behind them are approx $60+ depending which type of polish/glaze it is.

The jetseal is approx $40 for 16 oz and is my go to sealant it looks good and lasts about 6 months although it doesnt bead water like a carnuba or look quite as good on dark colors imo.

The other misc products from poorboys etc. range between $15-30 for each bottle.

Each bottle here ranges from $20-$30 as well the micro rejuv is about $10

dammmmmm

wow rich those are some amazing products, to bad you have to add your car into the pic because of a situation that accured.

hmm next weekend i think were on buddy boy, pm sent.

very nice. The garage looks a little like mine with all the cleaners and what not all over the place, but we both know its actually organized. I am speaking to a buddy of mine looking for a detail on his Acura TSX that I would have done but time is not on my side at the moment. He should be in touch with you shortly.

Sounds good and thanks for the referal make sure you tell him to mention you when he talks to me so i give him the forum members pricing and not regular price. and yes it looks messy but I know where everything is the only thing i wish is i had a double bay so id have more space (ill have to take a picture of both my garages) i have 6 bays but they are all single except the one my parents cars are in.

All pms were replied to as of now as well

Looks like some good stuff Rich, I will be seeing you Sunday with that Lightning.

yea i tried giving you a call last night but you didnt pick up so ill give ya one this afternoon just got a couple questions for ya

Yeah sorry man, was out in the garage working late I think my phone is still down there which means it was searching for service and shut down a long time ago, leave me a voice mail if ya cant get through and I will get back to ya.

How much extra is it if you come to my house, instead of me coming to you?

To be honest I'm still trying to figure out a fair rate per mile type thing but i wont drive over an hour as normally im detailing after already working from 10pm-6am. I dont charge my regular customers but they pay 30%+ more depending on the service. Pm me with your address and I'll figure something out for ya.

I will some time later, I'm not even in Jersey now. And I'm sure you do not want to drive 300ish miles :lol:

But i will probably contact you later, because you are better than me at making the cars shiny.
