Man I love this stuff.

I got a big blue resin container chock full of DI resin. It is so much better than using regular water. I still like to wipe the car down lightly, but what used to take me two big blue MF's and about 5 regular MF's, now only takes me the two big blues. I've been using DI water in my fish tank for years now, but this is my first experiment with it on my car. I pretty much just wipe the horizontal spots down and leave the vertical panels to dry on their own. And even then I just pretty much mop up the puddles on the horizontal panels. Two thumbs up for DI water. Clean, shiny, no spots. I'm convinced my car actually gets cleaner with less work as well. I've used DI water from my tank water on clothing stains and it's amazing how this stuff just sucks up dirt and pulls it away. Seems as though when I have washed with DI it takes less effort. Who knows? Could be in my head.

Now tomorrow I am going to try out this ridiculously expensive black fire wax I bought yesterday. The wax actually comes in a little briefcase.

I've been using rejex for a long time and it's a major plus how long it lasts. However, it sucks as far as shine goes. The paint doesn't have any depth and certainly doesn't come anywhere close to the wet look. We'll see how this caranuba wax product turns out. I am guessing the shine will be much better but that I will be doing it again in two months.

 

You are actually going to show up an event with a clean car?

 

Well, it's a 3 hour ride from here to Daytona so there is no telling what it will look like by the time I get there. I figured it was due for it's semi annual bath anyway. Remember, it's a GT3 stompin' work horse, not a show pony

 

GT3 stomping LOL.
Let's find a good driver (IE Viperbob who is an instructor and has owned 911 race cars before) to drive your car and have somebody in a GT3 that knows how to drive one (Say Max) and have them go around for 5 hot laps at Sebring. I have $100 that says the GT3 is ahead (By a significant amount) at the end of the 5 laps. You are always underestimating the GT3. I wish I was in FL.

 

Screw Sebring. I only live life one quarter mile at a time

 

Take it to the 1/4 (for the 1st time) and run faster than a 12.4.

 

I could start in second and run sub 12

 

Let's "do" before we "talk about what we could do" buddy. You know better than that.

 

i wish you were closer so we could meet on 275 and end this once and for all i predict at least 3 car lengths.

 

Blackfire WetDiamond is decent. IMO that Pinnacle Souveran is definately better for a very close price point though.

 

Nah, I don't think I would beat you that bad, maybe 1 and a half.

 

Haha funny banter lads!

 

Deputydog: Combine with the Airmax dryer, and you will be in heaven. No wiping at all. Moe Mistry carries these if you are interested. He's a sponsor here.

 

I have been considering one of those driers. It seems to be the way to go. www.properautocare.com is right near my office though. I just pop in when I need something. That place is like going to the vet. I can't walk in the door without dropping $100.

 

I applied the first coat tonight. It goes on and off very easily. The shine and color are great, but the depth still isn't there. Now my car was pretty much stripped of product prior to the application, so I'm going to see if another coat doesn't add the depth I'm looking for. One of the guys working at the place I bought it had a 13 year old eclipse with original paint that he had just used BF on it. It looked ridiculous. The paint looked better than new. His car looked amazing. I'm happy with the BF, but not thrilled for $60. Although it does come with a nice little pelican case Hopefully another coat will do the trick and my base will be established for future applications.

I've heard great things about pinnacle, but after seeing that guy's eclipse, I just had to try it. I'm finally quitting my Rejex addiction and going backk to waxes It lasts forever, but it really lacks in shine and depth. I don't mind reapplying more often if it gets me the look I'm shooting for. Not to mention this thing is a garage queen, so I should get more mileage out of a caranuba product than your average daily driver.
