i shouldn't talk - morrigan hasn't been washed/waxed/etc going on 3 weeks now. first vacation, and now this damn infernal rain that won't stop (pissed) plus, i'm still waiting for the rest of my detailing supplies to arrive...
a word of warning, DON'T TALK TO A DETAILER!!!!!! when i got home from visiting mr. detailer last week, i promptly started my computer and placed an order for i *think* around $250 worth of detailing supplies (omg) and that's to kind of round out the other $200 i ordered earlier this year, and the pc (porter cable, $115) i purchased when i was in town!!!!! once everything arrives, i'll post pics - both of my new arsenal and my car, before and after.
Yup...that's about what I spent on my supplies. Mostly from www.autogeek.net
haha, yep... autogeek, www.exceldetail.com, www.autopia-carcare.com, www.eshine.caaltspace said:
can't wait to get all my poorboys' stuff - esp. the natty's blue. i'll just have to repeat over and over "this is not food, this is not food..."
yummy!!Well today I didn't do too much with my P5 yet, but yesterday I drove from my apartment in Rochester to Toronto where I spent the day with a friend. Around 7pm we headed east and just got to our hotel room in Montreal a few minutes ago. It was such a blast! So many proteges

looking good josh!! i'm thinking about doing the "big" brake upgrade for the fronts...i've seen them for as low as 500, but i think that was only 13" rotors....anyway i like what you've done!
Thanks Mark. Natty's Blue FTW! Did you purchase the package deal with the PoorBoy's? It all smells like bubblegum to me. Here's just some of the supplies. I ordered bigger cutting pads, polishing pads, microfibers, and poloishing cloths after the pic was taken.
i'm really tempted by ken's bbk for front and rear - i need something that will fit under my 15" steelies for the winter, but fill up the space left by the rh's in summer. besides, with my eventual plans, better stopping power is always good

^^First of all, tint your third brake light... I plan to.
In regards to the subject, I am getting my ass kicked by my endlinks.. I got it to spin, but it seems I am not making progress... tips, suggestions, fly to Alaska and do it for me?

well.. its not exactly today.. its more like yesterday.. i had it washed before the prom, after prom it was still shiny as hell... we then went to niagra falls.. not even one day passed.. and when we came back it was dirtier then when it was before i washed it
haha, no just planning to work on my car - and maybe my parents, sister, etc. the poorboys polishes are sample size only which should hopefully be enough. i bought my p5 used, and while it's not severe, there is some swirling, holograms, and oxidation that does need to be taken care of.
anyone know if you can only apply the plastx by hand to the headlights, or if you can use it with the pc?
