great to know your still with us hans
how's your health doing?

sorry I land in melbourne only then adel but there is a big sydney trip planned either in december when my friend chris from here in boise arrives or january/feb for sure if he cant make it

have you and george to visit plus infinity auto, detroit custom bodyworks and a few others to check out.

unfortunately only coming back with some laserdiscs, some TRIM DREAM, my polymer and glass Dream Glaze
we've formulated six new products that are continuing to be fine tuned but have up to fourteen I'll be making a batch of in the next six months
these products are mostly evolutionary but there are a couple revolutionary products

clay mate - lubricant that cleans the clay as you use it and makes it work better and quicker
clay shampoo - fine claying whilst you wash a vehicle prior to detailing - a prep product for enthusiasts who dont have or dont know how to safely use the decontamination system

REFLOW - finally found a formula and ingredients to make this stuff. oxidation dissolver, paint lustre restorer, serious but safe paint deep chemical clean (no abrasives), buff buddy polishing performance booster and easier work with less product

full list will be up shortly

overhaul the car is the first I need to complete
save up for a trip to WA and also back to america in 15 - 20 months for SEMA show

best wishes for a full recovery hans

well I'm finally back on home soil and already have five cars lined uo

1960's Ford Mustang convertible show car in glasurit candy apple red 2K paint
this was poorly polished after the very expensive paint job was completed

so I have millions of micro scratches and buff marks to fix
that arrives in our 1,000 sq metre facility in five weeks time
before that comes, starting late next week is my first complete refinish of a vehicle at Adelaide Hills Panelworks in Nairne, South Australia
http://www.ahpworks.com.au/index.php/se ... 7151982fad

then its the phantom mica black VL commodore showcar again for some maintenance and touch ups and from there, back to splash car wash

here's a quick car care tip - paint is wet even if it looks and feels dry. treat it like human skin. regularly wash it gently with ph neutral products, remove contaminants and built up wax/protectants (like doing a facial scrub), polish it with the best products you can get (like conditioning your skin) and protect it from the elements with products that dont attract dust and have high melting points

do not use any products that contain the following ingredients due to health risks and other issues

crystalline silica
nano particles in coatings and polishes (those that are made from nano particles, not that are nano structured)
teflon
dimethyl silicone (clear coloured solvent based silicone - dries surfaces out)
isoproplyl alcohol (weakens polymer sealants and reduces slickness - commonly found in cheap quick detail sprays)
sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate
propylene glycol

Is there anything wrong with doing an IPA wipedown before sealing/waxing?

Hello Matt, I've been lurking around just watching your progress and looks like you've been busy as usual!

I love the new system, the results look fantastic. The deep impact process really does a good job.

Keep it up!
