My 2008 Collection (Warning, lots of pics!)
Looking back, I think I've got this compulsive buying and detailing behavior.
I gotta stop buying... and start using them more often... and yup I'm a few thousand bucks poorer now...  need to start selling stuffs from around the house :p anyways, enjoy ! I've got a jar of souveran on the way too, couldnt resist the offer Detailed Image had last week :p                            and finally, some pics of the car... I suck at taking pics. and I do need to get out in the daytime to get some real pics.       Last edited by buja : 06-12-2008 at 08:01 AM.

about 5 years ago I got the bug like you...I was chasing the perfect shine....the money i spent was crazy..it seems to never end...now I look back and say I could of bought this instead of all the car products I bought..like plasma tv's....fishing gear...stuff i would use daily...
I still buy some here and there..but not like before...500-600 at a wack before...lol..and many orders ...thing is I do about 20 cars a year....friends ..family and co workers....now I have built up a small warehouse of stuff that I could no use in 4 lifetimes....some have even spoiled as they sit on the back shelf... example...wal mart was blowing out NXT shampoo for 1.50 a jug...I believe it was a gallon sizew..I bought 10...it was a deal...well I gave most away to charity washes since I did not like it due to being so harsh.....bought most poorboys stuff based on reviews....gave most away after trying them...bought wolfgang line..old version...gave it away to local kids... I just use what works now for me and spend my money on stuff I use every day... the detailing bug is very addicting...but once your wallet shrinks you feel the crunch..lol.... money is not tight for me..lol...but products are not investments..they do expire in time...I have thrown out numerous seperated bottle of stuff that would not remix.... so use what you have and enjoy it....the stuff goes a long ways....I have 30 sealants and use maybe 3 now...gallons of polishes....tried every QD god made.....it never ends... now I spend on fishing gear and hunting gear..I use them more..lol....

yeah it's just irresistable. cant help. might need some counselling i guess.
think products these days have shelf life's of like 3 or more years ? dunno, but I guess it's the thrill of trying out new stuffs and seeing the results first hand rather than by pics on forums. photographs sure dont capture everything. and oh yeah , I love the feeling of the postman knocking on the door , feels like christmas everytime !  i'm pretty sure these will last me a good decade or so. at the moment, i'm staying on my own , far away from the family, so it's only my car that I'm working on . so you can imagine how long that will take me. I do try sometimes on purpose to spread thick thick layers (induce product wastage) with the cheaper stuffs that havent lived up to my expectations. I can't justify throwing it away , so I rather waste them ! lol oh well, I'm loving the collection I have now, I keep looking at the photographs, and when i'm bored, I open the storage cabinet and stare at it, and oh , sniff sniff , esp the natty's blue and red.

thanks !
I think it won't be until a month till I have the time to use my g220 to do a full paint correction. It will be my first time machine polishing too ! will definetely try fuzion then. in the meantime, i'm just having fun trying out the liquid sealants and waxes first. Paste waxes will most likely last longer so I'll try and use up the liquid stuffs first oh btw here's a fuzion review thread. Wolfgang's new Fuzion! - Page 2 - Detailing World

may I also add that, when I received the DP wheel glaze today, I was really surprised with it. I was under the impression that it's a wax, but it turns out it is like a liquid sealant, is light purple and has a delicious grape scent. apparently it is their new improved formula for 2008.
anyone tried this before ? or poorboys wheel sealant, CG wheel glaze? wonder if they are the same or not

Nice collection. I'm right there with you as I got into this last year and now I've got so much sh*t and want so much more. BTW I love my G110. I really want to get some FK (1000p/Pink Wax and 425) stuff next as well as some nuba paste waxes
