Interested in helping detail my car...??
 
I have a BB (as you can probably can tell below)

Ive been polishing my :buttslay: off and after a week i see the swirl marks and chips and all the imperfections...even thought the car is squeeky clean, it looks dirty because of the imperfections - it wasn't this hard before...So, I think if i can fix the chips and some of the more prominent scratches, I'll be able to keep up with it better.

I live in South Jersey (08065). Let me know if you're interested in a few beers and BBQ...It would be nice to learn a few things, hang out with fellow 8 owners and shoot the #@*#.

Anyone out there know what they're doing? I just wash and slather on a bunch of products. I don't really know what i'm doing. I'm guessing it looks good by default...throw enough wax on something and it'll shine...lol

Thanks
Keith

LOL why do I randomly get mentioned here... :P

I'd like to, but South Jersey is pretty far :P.. and I don't have so much free time anymore..

rcpilot, how about putting up some pics? Also what products are you using now? How frequently is the car washed (and do you do it all yourself?), detailed?; what towels, brushes, etc. do you use?

Stenobeth 07-20-2009 10:43 PM

08065?? 08065?!??! I live in 08065!!! lol And just tonight I was talking about detailing my 8 with JAQ61 and his shinka, so we should have a get together and do it! I don't think I have a free Saturday 'til Aug. 8 though but maybe we could find a Sunday. And JAQ has all the best stuff and tons of experience, etc., so everything would get done right. Let me know if you want to try to figure out a date :

SayNoToPistons 07-20-2009 10:57 PM

I have a PC7424, shit load of LC pads, PB polishes, sealants, etc etc... If you were closer, then maybe, but you're not close at all lol.

South Jersey where? I used to detail for Mercedes Benz a few yrs. back so I got a good ideal especially when it comes to black. I'm also in central jersey and have a nice size garage.

Let me know guys we can have a nice get together with some good food, music & some clean ass cars.

One really quick off topic question. I'm Looking to get exhaust and CAI - I need brand suggestions, for a good sound (not a chainsaw on crack) and HP. I've been scouring the forum but everyone has different opinions.

Thinking about:
AEM Cold Air Intake System Red

and

Greddy SP2 Exhaust

...but trying to get everything for under 1k

Opinions? GO!

BETTER YET PM ME ABOUT IT.

That's okay, we're busy on the 8th now too.

There's ANOTHER VR in town!!!?? If so, that's FIVE RX-8s in our little town!Maybe we can do a detailng meet later this month or even September. I'll bring the Mike's Hard Lime :) Let's try to pick a date and then get the crowd together, then pick a place to fit the crowd. Aug. 23 or 29th looks good, or any weekend in Sept.

rcpilotp51 08-05-2009 01:53 PM

Was the Brilliant black that I saw leaving the Liquor store on broad st??? anyway

Im a Brilliant Black
There is a yellow one near the cvs
there is a silver one in palmyra harbor
youre a VR
and I'm not sure of the 5th
I also saw a new r3 (white)

Anyway I'm thinking... Looks like I'm free on the 23rd after 4:00 pm (cooking at the CC)...I'll cook burgers dogs and chicken pieces and or chicken wings...

Who's down?

Stenobeth 08-05-2009 01:58 PM

No way, a yellow too???? Daaaaaaam, I had no idea there were so many. There used to be a stormy blue near me but I haven't seen it in a long time. I see the one in the harbor all the time.

The 23rd sounds good to me, I'll spread the word too :) And you should come to the sushi meet that's gonna be on the 22nd... I'll go copy the thread for you....

Stenobeth 08-05-2009 02:00 PM

Lepichichi and Poky-Poky are some of our favorite people too. :grouphug:

So we're up to four cars to detail so far!

And we'll all bring food too so RC don't worry about feeding the whole crowd on your own lol

What's up Kid! I told you when we first meet I'd do it, and you reply "my girlfriends brother or someone along the line was going to take care of you."
