Picture of my Meguiar's products

 I love Meguiars. Their All Purpose Cleaner is amazing and so is their M105 compound.

League of Legends

Every patch they release makes the game worse and worse. It does not improve the game at all. There are so many useless champions and items. The only thing Riot does it release new skins and champions because it is a money maker while screwing over people who have played since the beta. Ranked is terrible and the matchmaking solo is a nightmare.

My Makita 9227C Rotary Buffer


Here are the photos of my Makita 9227C Rotary that I purchsed from Amazon. I am using a Lake Country 5" backing plate and 5.5" buffing pads.

So far I am really impressed by how efficient it is at removing scratches and oxidation. It is much quicker and easier than my PC7424 random orbital and a lot quieter. A couple of passes with the rotary will take out 95% of the scratches whereas it takes many passes with the PC7424.

The Makita 9227C is heavier and takes a while to get used to the direct drive of the rotary. Some issues I am working on is buffer hop, torque steer, and right amount of pressure on the pad.

Some of the compounds and polishes I use are Meguiars #83 DACP and Swirl Free Polish, 3Ms Finesse it II and Perfect it III Rubbing Compound. I do have some Menzerna polishes on the way and I cannot wait to try them out. I have heard nothing but great things about Menzerna products.

Never thought this would happen: Bought some Zaino

I never thought I would buy Zaino products but yesterday I purchased some Z-9 leather cleaner and Z-10 leather in a bottle. These two products have been getting really good reviews and I like picture results.

I first heard about Zaino in 2001 on some car forums. This was when I was first getting into car detailing and found Autopia forums. I was really put off by the "Zaino Zealots" and vowed to never buy Zaino products. Fast forward almost 10 years and seeing other people results with their products has changed my mind. I don't think I will ever buy their polishes or waxes because of their zaino system. I would rather just stick to a polish + wax and be done with it.

I will post my results of how their leather care products stack up compared to other competitors

Update: Order with Detailedimage.com

Good news, my order with detailedimage.com shipped today which is a week earlier than the original ship date. They were backordered with 1Z Gummi Phlege so the order that I placed on black Friday was going to be delayed several weeks.

I took advantage of their free shipping over $150 and 20% discount which is the best deal I could find on any online detailing store. In my order I purchased some Menzerna which will be my first time ever trying out the polish. It is quite pricey but I believe the results justify the cost.

Disappointed with ProperAutoCare.com

I just received my order a couple of days ago and it was missing an item. I have contacted them several times and they have given me no response. Maybe that is why their shipping an handling prices are a bit lower than competitors, they screw you over. I will not be ordering them again, they obviously don't care about customer lifetime value.
