well i finally did it... i've been debating on spending all that money but I finally bought the #3 DA package from ADS along with the poorboys EX sealent and Black Hole. I also bought megs #80. THis is my first time with a DA so I also bought the instructional video. I can't wait for it to get here so i can get my truck back to looking like it should...I'll post pics eventually. Thanks for everyones help

 

nice man....
you think you can order one for me? I would really appreciate it, doing everything by hand is killing me.

 

You're in for some fun now...
Just be patient with the DA, you won't work miracles with it in one day. Give it time, and it will work great.

 

Welcome to the OCD club.

Please place all your money here

GOD!!! I saw that picture and flashbacked to my ex-wife!!!

 

Where you think I got the picture? Dug into my photo albums for pics of my x-wife.

Hate thinking about all the time I wasted detailing her rides. But is hilarious now when she bitches that her new hubby never cleans her truck. LMAO

 

It's going to look really good. Here is my car using this procedure ...

2. Wash with Foam Gun (DP Shampoo) & Two Bucket Method
3. Clay with Poorboy's Clay
4. Meguiars #80 with G100
5. Halogen Verified
6. Poorboy's Black Hole
7. Poorboy's EX Sealant with 12 Hour Cure Time
8. Meguiars #16

 

1. how are you doing the 2 bucket with the foam gun? same as without?

2. what is halogen verified?

 

And to the OP, congrats on your purchase. This is the first of many benjamins you will spend on your truck!!!

 

Well, I'm only using one bucket for the wash part in reality. The rinse bucket with Grit Guard. My car is never dirty enough for me to have another bucket of soap. I use a Halogen light and go over the paint to make sure all of the swirls, imperfections etc are out before I go to a finer polish, sealant, wax.

 

Haha, I thought it was some sort of new product out there. Ha, now i know what it is.

 

That Poorboy's EX Sealant is a great product. Used it today after I clayed the truck.

 

quick question since this will be my first time with a DA... should any of these products be applied by hand instead of with the DA? thanks

 

A lot of people put LSP's on by hand. No need to use a DA since you're just covering instead of polishing. However some people do use the DA with their LSP to work it in or for speed of application.

Personal Preference.

 

I usually use the DA to put on every product. However products like #16 I put on by hand.
