Default The fever!!

OK i have the fever , i cant get enough of cleaning and polishing my vert. The more z2,z5 and z6 i use the better the car looks. But i cant help but think it could look even better, now i know how people with an addiction feel . Ive bought the PC7424 with all the cl pads and have worked my way to a blue pad.
By the way i LOVE autogeek, they have anything you would want. The only thing i am using that isnt from them is the Zaino and when i am out of that i am going to be switching to whatever they recommend.
I have a couple of questions though, i read all these threads with peoples cars and they look like a mirror and as mine looks awsome and shines it isnt looking like a mirror, could this be my color? It is pewter, dont get me wrong it looks unbelievable but i want more. maybe i have just lost control of reality.
Ok now next question, i want to be able to clean my exhaust tips, is there a product you guys recomend to make those things shine good? Should i use a pad on my PC7424?

Is there a such thing as car care rehab?

Pewter is a harder color to pull depth from than something like black, but it can still look deep and wet. The key is getting the surface as close to perfection as possible...no swirls, contamination, etc.

As far as the tips go, I like to deep clean them with all-purpose cleaner and polish them with something like Mother's Mag and Aluminum.

you have two choices ... shop us and contain the fever for a minute, or make a wish list of items wanted and allow the fever to grow.
