There has been a change to the dynamics of the GB. It will be more simple this way as well as offer some choice in upgrades too if anyone wishes. For the time being PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT TO AVI VIA PAYPAL. I asked him to return payment to the few early birds who had dispatched it. How it is going to work is Mike from Auto Aesthetica is going to handle the distribution of the kits. I screwed up with Avi and assumed he was going to mail individual packages out to everyone. It is way too expensive to do that from Europe and would have killed the GB if that were the case. Mike swept in to help us out. The order is going to him in bulk and he will distribute the GB. The price will be less but will exclude shipping. Buyers will contact him personally via email with their Zip code to ascertain their exact shipping cost. Here is the cool part. Mike is just getting his shipments in and has decided to run an awesome introductory sale that covers the whole line as well as a variety of sizes in the line. IronX has been reduced in its regular price and is priced even lower on sale. I can PM anyone his price list if they're interested. (I want to abide by the rules on here). I will have confirmation of the contents of the GB (Just checking on the mf's, that's all) soon as well as the final, pre-shipping, price. To my Canadian brethren, the packages will be sent out USPS so we don't get jammed up by stupid UPS fees. I'm sorry for the confusion, this works out better as people will be able to modify what they get in their package if they want to take advantage of the sale prices on the other items. If they don't, the final price should be within a dollar or two of the original Euro quote (which changes daily). Any questions, please post them here. Thanks for your patience everyone!!
I'm gonna wait for a few more durability reviews and I might get a sample. I have a wetbox at the top of my Xterra that makes cleaning under it extremely hard unless I take it off, and I need an LSP that will last a while so I don't have to keep unbolting it.
No pressure from me. You should have a lot of people reporting on it by the looks of the order going in. As long as you didn't want it on prior to Winter, you'll be fine.
FINAL UPDATE ON CQUARTZ GROUP BUY: First as a short explanation for those who missed it, the coles' notes version is Richy screwed this up. When I was negotiating this with Avi, I assumed that he would be shipping the individual orders from Europe to us here. That is not economically feasible and would have killed the GB. Mike from Auto Aesthetica jumped in and offered to have the lot shipped to him and then he would distribute it from there. This is a great reduction of shipping costs and allowed the GB to continue on. The other great thing is he is having an introductory sale on the CQ line and will add any item anyone wants to try to the order at the sale price. Mike really saved my bacon on this one and I appreciate his efforts. The kit from him will contain: 1) 30 ml of Cquartz (same as before) 2) 50 ml of IronX (same as before) 3) 5 small suede disposable removal towels (same as before) 4) 1 fluffy mf towel for final buffing (same as before) 5) foam applicator pad (same as before) (although I recommend using a cotton cosmetic pad to apply it, not the foam) So as you can see, the contents of the GB are identical. The price is different. It is lower. The PRE-SHIPPING price will be $47 USD. (No Euros this time and risk of currency fluctations). So, if you live in the far corner of the US (Mike is in New York), your shipping total may be a dollar or two higher. For most people, the price should be the same. If you choose to try out additional product or add to the order, the shipping cost will obviously be higher. Nonetheless, it is a great time to stock up with his sale prices and the incremental cost of shipping won't be much higher. In order to process the GB, you need to contact him directly. PM me for his email. I am going to PM everyone who has expressed interest and give them all the info they need. When you email him, put "L2D Group Buy" in the title so he knows this promotion is different from the ones he's running. His website is not up and running yet. His pricing info was added to the CQ GB Update thread by me. You can see it HEREhttp://www.live2detail.com/showthread.php?t=792. The product will not be arriving until the end of the month. It will be re-directed to you within a day or two or arriving so I would expect you guys to have your CQ in your hot little hands by the end of the first week of November. That should still be enough time to protect your ride prior to Winter's arrival. So, in conclusion: Don't paypal Avi any money Contact Mike with your order (standard or expanded) Again my apologies for this not going as smoothly as I had anticipated. My goal was to negotiate as good a deal on the CQ as I could and I think I still succeeded there. EDIT: Everyone who had expressed interest was sent a PM. If I missed anyone, pls let me know.
Yeah I should be ok for winter, I'm gonna take the top box off and use 845. Can't wait for the reviews, great idea too. These types of coatings make me curious.
Jesse sent me a sample of the product he was working on. I only applied it to my hood so far. Drove to work in the light rain this morning and when I got to work the rain had subsided. Weird thing, most of my car was still wet EXCEPT the hood. It was bone dry. I'll be applying it to the rest of the car!
That's one of my main issues. Autoglym HD wax did a great job of beading up, but the water kinda stuck there. Maybe I needed to clay, but my paint feels much slicker now that I clayed and put two coats of 845 on.
