Maybe what you should have said is that YOU have found that type of protection extremely helpful in those types of situations. You can't responsibly put it out there as if it is in stone when that is obviously not the case.

One thing that I can vouch for is that a lot of detailing forums contain a lot of personal opinions that get passed on without a lick of research. Personally, I like to use the products myself and run my own simple little test. Luckily for me, I get sent quite a bit of product from all over the place asking me for my opinion. Most of the stuff I have never heard of.

that's right! Junkie always tests things out before speaking. I trust him 100%-he has never steered me wrong and is a pretty generous person with his time.

Ok, So I was at it today with the heater running in the garage. Got the Clay out and hit all of the car working it really hard this time, as I was not scrubbing hard enough the first time I clayed.

I then got out the SHR and spend a long time on the hood and trunk areas particularly the bird poo etched areas of the hood. I got two of the splotches out, but the one that was on the crease of the hood is still hanging in, but is much much less noticeable.

Finished up the FMP just a while ago and am letting the MSW cure. I needed the break anyway as I have been in the garage since 10 AM and it is now 6 PM... Just need the Junkman's Pizza to get enough energy to take the MSW off.

I make that puppy myself. Here's the recipe. It is NOT for the faint at heart!

I snagged your recipe off of z06vette.com

Just before it hit the oven...

And just before it hit my belly...

Darn good pie. Not your everyday pizza for sure...

Junkman2008 · 01-02-2011, 07:53 PM

It will make your butt look big!

How much were you able to throw back? Half? One slice?

Kirkster · 01-02-2011, 08:51 PM

Little more than half. Had to call in reinforcements...

If its on a clear bra I wrote how to fix if you have 3M clear bra use 70% rubbing alcohol in a cool dry place, let air dry repeat until gone.
