A few JGC SRT8 guys and me and some TBSS guys were planning on attending.................................... Team said event was going down regardless of Rain, Snow, Blizzard, Apocolypse, Great Flood, etc............

See you jokers there

Wow!  I love that truck and you did amazing work on it Mook!

Faces.  Melted.

Stellar work guys!! Keep it up!  I CANNOT WAIT to have my tbss detailed!

I actually specifically remember shaking up the 16oz bottle after I filled it, but specifically remember NOT shaking up the gallon before filling the 16oz bottle . I am also most likely using too much DS when drying, as Mook pointed out, AND it's being applied over vehicles that need clayed/polished/waxed.

Ultimately, the streaks came out and everything looked fine, it just took more work than I was used to.

I'll give the gallon a good shake tonight when I wash the truck and see if I can't get satisfactory results.

I will report back. Dylan, if you're out and about, feel free to walk on over and check it out!

Thanks Mook. Those are valid questions and points. In terms of temperature, I don't think it has seen anything extreme, but possibly less than ideal. My garage temps (outside/non-insulated wall where I store the DS gallon) probably ranges from 30-55* over the last month or so that I've had it.

I have not shaken the product too vigorously. I took the gallon, filled a 16oz bottle and went on with my business. Perhaps I need to shake up the gallon, as it has been sitting for a while.

I am using A LOT of DS when I dry, as I always have. I didn't know that less was needed/better with the new formula. I'll try that.

And Andrew made a good point about using it on black vehicles that don't already have a layer of wax. As mentioned, both vehicles had minimal to no wax/sealant/glaze.

I'm glad I found this feedback thread. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't offer my honest opinion. I find that this detail spray leaves more streaks and requires more rubbing to remove said streaks. In the interest of full disclosure, I've used it on 2 vehicles, both of which need some serious polishing and don't have much/any sealant or wax to speak of.

Is the extra streaking due to the fact that the vehicles don't have a fresh coat of wax applied? I'll be the first to admit that my paint is in pretty bad shape and in need of some serious polishing and protection. My friends'/customers' cars receive more attention from me than my own, unfortunately.

This ds seems to be "thicker" for lack of a better term. The old formula seemed to come off very easy with minimal to no streaks. It now seems like more of a chore to use this ds while drying.

I'm not criticizing the product - in fact, I'd really like some feedback on how to avoid the streaking. Like I said, this could all be attributed to the fact that both vehicles I used it on were basically bare paint in need of some serious love.

I am looking forward to some feedback on this!

Thanks guys!

Great job! Sweet ride... now it needs lowered

Good job Chris!

Looks gooood mook

Looks great Mook. Mine next?

nice pic of the fam Gerardo!

I think this latest round of changes made a badass ride even badder!

Knowing how detail oriented you are, did you consider doing the whole wheel black, or did you just do the face for contrast?

Raw barrels were decided on and that's how I spent 8 hours masking them... the paint line is damn near perfect too. I like the contrasting look!

I've been lucky enough to have helped with the tinkering from almost 2007! I think I was there from one of the first times a PC touched the truck! time flies!

Truck looks great Mook and congrats on the award. it was a pleasure! GREAT writeup too. haha. I enjoyed reading

awesome pics and great clinic. We had a blast! hats off to the adam's crew and all of those members who came from out of state! Ross the copo looked amazing!

Ya Ross!!!

Just tell him that the whole "seat cushions can be used as flotation devices" is crap! If the plane goes down, ain't no one using any seat cushions for anything

Kidding.. don't tell him that!

Looks like this is going to be a good turnout. Everyone is welcome to meet up with us at Starbucks beforehand too!

I'm working on a pre-clinic coffee meetup for the TBSS crowd (everyone welcome), so hopefully we can caravan over 5-10 deep. Going to be fun!

STELLAR.

I'm so jealous. I would have loved to be there detailing that thing!!!

Awesome!

Looks great guys!

So, are you saying that you went from this:

To this

By doing only 2 passes of FMP/White pad on speed 4?

???

I enjoyed hearing updates about this detail throughout the day yesterday. I can vouch for how hard Mook worked on this ride. He busted his butt on it and it really shows! Seriously, check out those before and after pictures. I'm truly impressed. This is how you get the job done. I'm sure you're sore today but I'm also sure that the satisfaction from a job well done was worth the pain. I just wish I could have taken the day off to come help. Next time for sure!

Great work Mook!
