Certainly wasn't the flattest paint I've worked on. Take into consideration those "after wash" shots that Steven took show an exaggerated amount of peel because he was using such a large aperture on his camera though.

Thanks. I really like them a lot and they certainly have their place. While I'm not as big on their heavy polishes/compounds, I really like some of their medium cut (SIP/IP/203) products and final finish products (106fa/85rd). They can be pricey, but when we need them, it's totally worth it.

yeah the heavy cut is a bit much sometimes.. who are you getting them through?

Well it's sure as hell ugly out today. This Thursday/Friday/Saturday is going to be real nice though - I plan on taking my car out of storage and doing some Spring cleaning myself

Its not just that their stuff like Power Gloss is aggressive (sometimes you need that!), but that it's a pain to use compared to products like Meguiar's 105.
We order a lot of our stuff from Detailedimage.com
Not only do they carry a lot of stuff we like and use, but we got a deal from them last year to help write detailing articles (how-to's, answer questions, etc) for them in exchange for major price breaks on our side. http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-P...r/marc-harris/

If you know of any other good places, please do tell!

Items they don't carry we obviously must order elsewhere, but service has always been impressive from detailedimage.com even before we entered this deal
