so ive been away from the forums focusing on my other passion at heart and that is detailing, not your run of the mill detailing most shops and car dealerships offer, im talking OCD perfectionist detailing, removing swirls/scratches,prepping cars for car shows ect. ect. ect. so basically if you need any help getting your celica to look its best ask me some questions!, if your local to me i will even teach you better methods to detail your car. if you need any suggestions on good products to use, ask me. if you want to know how to get rid of that oxidized finish on the single stage paints used on celicas post in this thread!. hope i can help you guys who really want their celica to look its best figure out the best methods of detailing, maybe i will start writing some detailing articles here.

see fresh paint that is not oem(oem paint is baked on so no need to wait) still has solvents evaporating, it can take up to 90 days for the paint to fully cure and you dont want to use a wax or sealant because it will clog up the pores inhibiting the outflow of gasses and they need to evaporate. unless the paint was baked on then you dont need to wait.... i dont use the nxt 2.0 anymore. durability is lacking. the look is good but not great. not the best product imo. i love the collinite 845 shown below. if spread thin it comes off easy, lasts an easy 4 months or more. and the look is comparable to waxes that are in the 75-300$ range, and it only costs around 15$. now for a sealant the wolfgang pictured below works awesome, just needs to cure for 12 hours without getting wet. then you can top it with a carnauba wax for added pop.
anyways got more product.... new towels:  new liquid products:  more pads:  place to store new pads and towels: http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data...um/100_1625.JPG and for kicks the back of my car purple from iron-x!
