Curvacious Beauty - 110 Photos of loveliness My best friend’s father begrudgingly changing his Jaguar XK for an estate due to family commitments. Mike’s an enthusiast owner, washes the car weekly and hand applies AutoGlym Super Resin Polish every few months, so the car was in good condition to start, but I was asked to lend a hand putting some finishing touches to prepare the car for its next owner. Here was the car as I found her on Sunda.. 더보기
2009.1227 눈오는날 눈이 오는날, 눈맞으며 걸어본게 언젠지...... 연애시절엔 자주 하던일인데.. 이젠 언제가 마지막이었는지 기억이 나질 않으니... 무작정 카메라들고 집사람과 뛰쳐 나갔다.. 탐스런 함박눈은 아니지만 충분히 세상을 하얗게 덮어줄정도는 되었으니.. 더보기
Ultimate Shine: Awesome Ferrari 430 Scuderia "Rosso Red" Well here is Christmas again; this has to be one of the quickest years i have ever had.

My goal as a detailer when i started was to do my first Ferrari and aimed to achieve this in my first year of business. I have always put myself in my customer’s s.. 더보기

Wintery Wonderland:The Greatest Detailing Adventure Ever Told Buffest 2009 The ring of the phone broke the silence of my sleep… “Hey Todd, this is Mr. X, heheheheh… how are you Homer?,” Mr. X wheezed sinisterly out the receiver. “Homer?…” Who was Homer? I managed through the normal ramblings of trying to pull myself to consciousness. “Yes Homer,” the voice was cool,” I spoke to Ryan Blanchette and I want you guys to polish my collection.” I shook my head a.. 더보기

HORSEHAIR 100% BRUSH 가죽크리닝용으로 말털 브러쉬가 많이 사용된다.. 그래서 찾아보면 대부분 10000원을 훌쩍 넘는 가격대이다.. 그러던중 저가 브러쉬를 발견. 구매해봤다... 길이는 대략 13Cm 정도 나무손잡이 두께는 1.5Cm, 말털 길이는 2.5Cm 정도. 손잡이 넓이는 대략 4Cm로 손으로 잡았을떄 좀 작다 싶은 정도 대략 저렇게 빼곡히 박혀있긴 하다 흠 상태는 사실 별로다, 싼가격에 이이상 바라는건 무리다 싶어 일단. 세척을 해봤다... 한번 세척하면 말털이 살아날듯해 세척, 역시 개털빠지듯 술술 모가 빠진다.... 털의 세기는 부드럽다... 저가에 이정도면 그냥 그렇게 쓸만하다.... 다음번엔 실 사옹기를 올려보겠다 더보기
Dave KG - BMW 135i - Exterior Correction Detail (Tuition) Another writeup from me that's about two - three weeks late! Catching up slowly (On another note I have 50 pages of my thesis written now ). After completing a successful machine polishing tuition day on the Saturday before, Gordon and I packed out cars and headed down to the Scottish borders for an overnight stay near Berwick to allow for a nice early start on this car on the Sunday morning.

What to use and why on darker metallic finishes Compared to darker solid colours, darker metallic and pearlescent finishes are much more forgiving in terms of hiding minor defects such as marring and fine swirl marks. A further benefit of owning a car with metallic or pearlescent paint is that you end up with a car that looks different depending on the light. For example, in dull, cloudy conditions the flake in the paint will almost disappear.. 더보기
Chemical Guys - DETAILING BUCKET WITH GRIT GUARD AND EXTRAS 케미컬 가이의 버킷셋트중 하나이다. 뚜껑이 있고, 바로위 사진처럼 실링이 있어 물이 t새질 않는다. 겨울철에 필요하기때문에 구입한 제품,, 물론 이뻐서 구매한 의도도 없지않다.. CWG와 엄청나게 조악한 워시미트, 그릿가드, 버킷 이렇게 세트이다.. 그릿가드는 원래 블랙이 들어있는데 블루가 더 잘 어울려 바꿔 넣었다. 만듬세가 단단하여 내구성도 어느정도 있는듯 하다. 해외 구매시 엄청난 배송비가 부담스럽긴 하지만.....그래도 손에 들어오는순간 이거다 싶을정도로 이쁘고 아담하다.. 4 1/4 겔론으로 용량또한 적당한 수준이다. 3번째 사진을 보면 알겠지만 OEM 방식에 케카 스티커만 붙는다.... 아마도 케카 스티커가 없다면 가격은 절반 이하로 뚝 떨어질거같지 않은가 !!! 사진에서 보듯 그릿가드 최상단.. 더보기
Meguiar's Mirror Glaze M16 + P21S Concours-look Carnauba Wax 이거와 이걸 더하면 어떻게 될까?? 아니 더할거라곤 누가 생각이나 했을까? 위에 두놈을 더하면 아주 좋은 결과물이 나온다는 해외포럼의 글들이 있었다. 또한 그러한결과물을 어느날 상현형이 들고왔다... 부산에서 올라온거라고 하며 ..... 일단 P21S는 전형적인 카나우바 왁스이다... M16은 Goldclass와 같이 카나우바가 포함된 합성왁스이다. 아마 FK Pink랑 비슷하지 않을까 생각한다... 어차피 Meguiar's 나 FK 나 한집안사람들이니 ㅎㅎㅎ 근데 저 두놈을 섞으면... 엄청난 날광이 올라온다... 보고도 깜짝 놀랐다.... 담엔꼭 사진올리겠다.... 쩝... 한번 도전해볼만한 일이다... 근데 M16을 써보지 못해서 정확한 느낌은 알수없지만... 결과물을 보고 아마도 FK Pink와 .. 더보기
Raceglaze 55 vs Swissvax Best Of Show B.O.S 사진은 상현형 블로그에서 퍼왔음... 아 일단 사진이 저정도밖에 안되는건 어쩔수없다.. BOS의 사진은 어디를 뒤져봐도 제대로 크게 나와있는걸 찾을수가 없었다. 두 왁스의 결과물들은 여러 해외포럼에서도 익히 들어 알것이다.. 상당한 찬사를 받고있는 두왁스... Raceglaze 55 짙고 투명한 래드컬러에 상당히 소프트한 물성의 왁스어플리케이터를 사용해선 안될것 같이 묽다. 아주 좋은향이 난다. Best Of Show 스위스백 만의 향기로운향, 적당한 소프트함으로 어플리케이터나 핸드왁싱 둘다 적당한 정도의 물성. 두 왁스를 비교해 자웅을 가리자는 의도의 글은 아니다. 다만 같은듯 다른 왁스의 특성을 알아보고자 적는 글이고 다분히 개인적인 소견이니, 오해나 반문은 사절하겠다.. 1. 핸드왁싱시의.. 더보기

P21s 100% Carnauba Review P21s 100% Carnauba Review IMO, P21s 100% is the best boutique wax I have ever used. In the last 8 weeks, on clients cars that request wax, I have found myself grabbing for P21% more and more. I have used it "over" every pre-cleaner or glaze I have in order to tweak the look for my tastes. Product: P21s 100% Cost: 50-60 US Compared to: Pinnacle Souveran, PS21 (original), Zymol Ital, Zymol Vintage.. 더보기
