Do you want your car professionally detailed, for free?? - ultimagtrlover - 10-06-2005 Well, not really. For the next meeting, I was going to do a powerpoint presentation on car detailing. I would like to do a demonstration on polishing, but I don't have a panel to use. So, does anyone have a small body panel for me to use to detail? Suggestions include: doors, targa tops, wings? I will polish, apply a sealant, and then wax the panel. If anyone wants the whole car detailed, we can arrange that later (for a nominal fee). The detailing of the painted portion of the panel will be free! - .RJ - 10-06-2005 Detail my integra.... if you can get that thing looking good then you get a damn gold star - Ginger - 10-06-2005 ^ Agreed ^ - Sijray21 - 10-06-2005 fuck a gold star i'll give you a cookie however! I actually wish i was up there to watch this incase i find ways to further make my car look better....god knows i should. I've been using meguires 3-stage as a wax for a while, but it takes forever. I think i've been able to get my car pretty clean, does that count as detailing? - .RJ - 10-06-2005 Two words: Orbital Buffer I'll be picking one up before the integra goes away for the winter so I can clean it up. The Meguiar's 3-step stuff doesnt work that well, use the professional line - ScottyB - 10-06-2005 i like to pimp a clean car....if you do this presentation i'd like the powerpoint. - ultimagtrlover - 10-06-2005 my presentation will be based on the "informative speech" that I will be presenting for my GCOM class, which is supposeded to be less than 7 minutes long. Keeping my powerpoint, imo, will be worthless, as I will probably use it only as a means to show some pictures of cars before/after a professional detail. Nevertheless, I will give you some sources to get some detailing advice at the presentation. Here's a hint: there is a whole world beyond Meguire's. I am open to detailing any and ALL cars (RJ, maybe some pics of your car?)...interior and/or exterior. My presentation will be focused on polishing, which is what truly makes an improvement in the appearance of a painted surface. After that, I could go on to talking about interior detailing/ wheels/product recommendations, etc... depending on if you folks want me to. - ultimagtrlover - 10-06-2005 Here are two before and after shots. The first one is before polish and wax (I have better examples, but i will save them for the presentation). Notice how stale and boring the paint job is. In the second shot, observe the paint's depth of shine, lack of swirls, and wet-look: - Jeff - 10-07-2005 Yeah, I do this also...every summer. I could get you a part to buff...maybe a fender from a 96 Neon that has been setting in a storage room for years? That sure would be a improvement. - ultimagtrlover - 10-07-2005 Turbo0mni08, I would be glad to restore the Neon's fender...bring it to the next meet! - Jeff - 10-07-2005 I will have it for you
