Default So I tested Tropi-Care products on my beater..

I ordered the Tropi-Care PC package and detailing kit last week and tested it out over the weekend. It was easy to get a hang of the porter cable!

I started off with their car wash soap. Then I moved to the clay bar. I used it at night so I wasn't a perficient as I would like to have been with it. I then moved to the swirl cutter the next morning (pulled it in the garage over night) and only made one pass with it. After that I went to the polish/sealant and also only put one coat on it. The reason I only put one coat on it is that I was only testing it out on this car to make sure I knew how to use it, before I went to my other car.

I followed the directions on the products and the results speak for itself.

Before:


After:

There are still some blemishes and light swirl marks on it, but for one coat and using the clay bar at night, I am impressed.

Thanks for the comments. I am glad you are pleased with the results. We have worked very hard developing our products, seeing your photos I know it was worth the efforts.

All I see is red x's. I see them now. The firewall at work blocked the site that is hosting the pics. Looks good.
