That's okay. We all understand wanting to get it as shiny and clean as possible ASAP. Sometimes a before picture isn't high on the priority list for a personal detail

Have you guys seen the revolutionary new Corolla? Yes, it's the same as all other cars but compared to the horse it's revolutionary!

The marketing alone doesn't make me want to try the products. That's a product pusher. Reminds me of that angelo guy from autopia.

I sent somebody an pm last night making that exact same comparison. He also doesn't back anything up with facts. If you ask Dylan, Nick, or Todd a question, they have facts to answer it.

On a side note, love how the dirt was just rinsing off when I was spraying the car prior to washing.. For almost a whole month and very filthy car, my white wash mitt didn't even get dirty until I reached by the wheels and surrounding areas of the fenders.
Are you going to use 205 on your stripes? I thought you weren't supposed to use that on matte/vynil stripes.

No.. No polish on the stripes.. I mean for the swirls on the paint.. Stripes will be replaced with new ones later.. Still look good if I put wax over them so no issues
