We’re always trying to improve our product selecting based on new products we try, recommendations from professional detailers, new products from our current suppliers and suggestions from our loyal customers. Below are some of our most recent additions to the DetailedImage.com store. Enjoy!

New from Dodo Juice: Supernatural v2 Wax!
Dodo Juice decided to offer their best selling wax in a new plastic jar, helping eliminate some of the fixed costs from the original Supernatural wax. This new plastic jar is 200ml compared to 250ml for the original version, so slightly less product. It also does not offer a discounted refill option like the wooden jar version offers.

What Supernatural v2 does offer over the original version is a slightly (pretty minimal) higher carnauba content. This is said to help improve durability and perhaps a tad glossier look, but does mean it’s not quite as easy to remove as the original version.

Ok, so here is the best part, the price is only $129.99 compared to the $199.99 price point of the wooden container. If you were on the fence about Supernatural before, I’d suggest giving it a shot at the new price point. You will not be disappointed!

E-Z Detail Brush
Looking for the most effective way to clean the inner barrels of your wheels? Look no further as the E-Z Detail Brush will help save you time and energy, while producing a professional wheel detail. I recommend partnering up the E-Z Detail Brush with a quality wheel cleaner. Let the cleaner dwell for a few minutes, agitate with the soft bristles on the E-Z Detail Brush and rinse to reveal a super clean wheel.

New from Menzerna: Power Finish PO203S
Menzerna has done it again with another outstanding ceramic clear coat polish! The Menzerna PO203S polish is designed to remove swirls, fine scratches, oxidation and more from the new ceramic clear coats and all traditional clear coats. The remarkably smooth cutting particles help leave the paint extremely smooth and vibrant looking. It is a light to medium cutting polish that can help restore the clear coat so it is smooth and vibrant looking again. Menzerna PO203S can be used on some lighter colors as a finishing polish with outstanding cutting power. For those who want to do just one coat on lighter colors and get the maximum results this may be the product for you. For darker colors you may want to follow up with a lighter polish like the ultra fine polish Menzerna PO85RD or the PO106FF. These polishes will ensure the paint looks totally clear and crisp. I would most commonly use the Menzerna PO203S with a white polishing pad, but there are certainly other options. It could be used with an orange light cutting pad if you’re following up with another lighter polish/pad combo or with a black finishing pad if you want to use the polish as your finishing polish.

In terms of aggressiveness, it falls between Super Intensive Polish PO83 and PO106FF / PO106FA.

New from Blackfire: Polycharged Deep Gloss Spray Sealant and One Step Plastic Cleaner, Polish and Protectant
Blackfire has formulated one of the longest lasting spray on sealants with their Deep Gloss Spray. To accomplish the long durability, they’ve supercharged the formula with Polycharger. Polycharger technology helps align the polymer particles in a unique interlinking pattern which helps improve durability.

Blackfire’s One Step Plastic Cleaner, Polish and Glaze works great on all of your plastic surfaces. It can clean, protect and enhance the look of delicate surfaces such as gauges, navigation and tv screens, headlights, taillights, plastic trim, clear bra’s and much more.

New from Chemical Guys: Clear-Seal and Sticky Gel Citrus Wheel Cleaner
Chemical Guy’s has formulated a great citrus based wheel cleaner that can be diluted down for exceptional value, Sticky Gel Citrus Wheel Cleaner. The concentrated gel based formula does a good job sticking to vertical parts of the wheel, which gives you a more thorough clean. For regular maintenance we recommend diluting this powerful, but safe, wheel cleaner to a 5:1 ratio. Pair this up with an E-Z Detail Brush for fresh looking wheels every time.

Clear Seal is a unique product that cleans, protects and enhances the look to any plastic surface. The unique formula leaves behind a slick, but not greasy, feel while protecting plastic surfaces. It is an exceptional product for your vehicle’s clear bra, DVD/Navigation screen, coated hard wood, headlights, gauge screens. It is also excellent to use on lap tops, ipods/mp3 players, cell phones, etc. The unlimited uses of this top quality plastic cleaner and protectant make it must have for car care and for around the home and office.

Poorboy’s has recently come out with a great quick detailer, Quick Detailer Plus (QD+), that not only cleans your surface but also leaves behind a layer of protection. Enhance the gloss and depth of your finish while removing dust, finger prints, water spots and other light contamination.

New from Lake Country: 4″ Pads and Backing Plates
While the Porter Cable 7424 is very paint safe, sometimes it’s TOO safe and simply doesn’t have enough power to get the results you are looking for. An easy way to increase the bite and effectiveness to your PC 7424 is to invest in a smaller set of pads.

Smaller pads allows you to generate more heat and friction with the PC, which breaks polishes down more effectively and efficiently. This happens due to the fact your generating the same amount of energy in a more concentrated, smaller area. The random orbiting motion of the PC generates the most power in the center of the pad, since the pad revisits that section more frequently than any other part of the pad. The area of a 6.5″ pad is ~33 inches squared compared to the area of a 4″ pad is ~12.5 inches squared. This means that the area of the smaller 4″ pads is less than half of a 6.5″ pad. This provides you with additional cutting power that you normally wouldn’t get out of larger pads, which leads to deeper imperfections being removed.

The opposite is true with rotary buffers. When you go with a smaller pad, the speed of the outer edge of the pad is slower than a larger pad. This helps reduce the amount of heat and friction generated, which makes polishing tighter areas much safer. Since you are generating less heat than larger pads, it’s easier to finish the paint down hologram free.

With both a random orbital buffer or a rotary buffer, you gain increased control and maneuverability with smaller pads. You’ll be able to get closer to trim, emblems, lights, and other hard to reach areas.

We put together a couple starter packages at some great prices so you can experience the benefits of having some smaller pads in your detailing arsenal.

1x 4″ Backing Plate for Porter Cable 7424 - $12.99

Happy Detailing!

At Detailed Image we constantly review brands and their respective products.  We pride ourselves on doing all the research for our customers and offering them only the highest quality products.  This process requires us to continuously search for high quality suppliers that we can develop long term relationships with.  This winter we spent a lot of time looking over various different opportunities and we picked up the Chemical Guys (CG) brand.  Even though we put plenty of hours into researching the CG brand it actually wound up being a very easy decision.  After speaking with the CG representatives and testing their products, we can now proudly offer you some of the finest CG products!

CG has a large selection of diverse products (clay bar, polishes, sealants, waxes, quick detailers, odor eliminators, etc) that are highly effective and innovative.  Most products are developed in house by CG’s own highly talented staff.  These employees are surrounded by detailing enthusiasts who really embody high quality auto detailing.  The CG products all have to produce exceptional results while being user friendly.  Products like CG Jetseal 109 is a great example of their best work.  This product is extraordinarily strong, easy to use and looks outstanding.  It has quickly swept through the detailing industry and become one of, if not, the best sealants in the industry.  Industry leading products like the Jetseal 109 and many others is why Detailed Image now carries CG and why they are one of the premier brands in detailing.

Probably one best factors about the CG brand is their constant refining and improvement of their products.  Even when they are the industry leader they continuously look for improvement.  CG has been in business for over 30 years because they never rest on their laurels.  It was really important to for us to know we can depend on the CG brand to constantly deliver some of the newest and best products on the market.  Please look through our selection of Chemical Guys products and let us know if we can help you pick out the ones that will work best for you.

If you’ve been holding off on trying one of the best finishing polishes, Menzerna PO106FF, now is the time to test it out with the more affordable 16oz version.  This polish will enhance the depth and gloss on virtually any vehicle.  The reason this polish works so well is that it utilizes some of the smallest abrasive particles available, but they are sharper than normal abrasives.  Using sharper abrasives means it’s easier to break down and give you the results you are looking for.  For maximum results, we recommend applying this polish (or any polish for that matter) with a quality buffer, like the Flex XC3401VRG or the Porter Cable 7424.  This polish leaves behind an addictive gloss and once you get a chance to use the PO106FF, it will be your new finishing polish.

So you got the new Flex XC 3401 VRG, pads and polishes, but where do you store them all? Detailed Image just added this durable, light weight bag to our product line up so you can easily store all of your polishing equipment in one place. It’s important to store your buffer and pads in a place that is not subject to dust or other contamination that could get on your pads or in your buffer. This will help prolong the life of your buffer and make sure you get the most out of your pads and polisher.

One of the nicest features about the carrying case is the roomy interior and the large shoulder strap. The large adjustable strap makes it easy to carry and fits all body types. Treat you and your buffer to this professional bag by Flex today.

Detailed Image is proud to announce that we are now offering CRSpotless Water De-ionizers.  CRSpotless has been the industry favorite for water purification units.  CRSpotless offers two sized units, a 100 gallon unit and a 300 gallon unit.  The standard units can be wall mounted, or for an additional $50 you can turn them into mobile units with wheels and a handle attached.  CRSpotless units come pre-assembled so you can be using pure, de-ionized water in minutes.  Each unit comes with an electronic display to let you know if your cartridges (or resin) needs replacing.

Replacement cartridges are available as well as loose resin bags or a large 1 cubic foot drum of resin.   With the drum of resin, you can enjoy 900 gallons of de-ionized water for as low as $0.22 per gallon.

If you’re serious about detailing and never want to worry about water spots again, a CRSpotless water de-ionizer may be for you.  Simplify your washing and drying process and improve your detailing results.

Detailed Image is proud to announce a new product we have picked up from the makers of the popular Stoner Invisible Glass, Stoner Tarminator. Tarminator is an excellent product for dissolving , such as bug smear, tar, sap, and other stubborn road contamination. Simply spray this product onto your paint where the contamination resides and let it dwell for a minute or two. Quite often you’ll see the contamination dissolve right before your eyes. This product is best used before a wash as a pre-wash degreaser. This product is powerful so you will want to reapply your protection, whether a sealant or wax, after using Stoner Tarminator.

Lake Country has recently added two unique wash mitts that are changing the way you think of foam wash mitts. The Ulti-Mit is made from the softest foam Lake Country produces. What makes this mitt unique is the cube design which aids in pulling contamination away from the surface, minimizing the chance of adding imperfections.  Lake Country also introduced the Ulti-Mit Scrubber, which is made of denser foam, designed for removing stubborn contamination or working wheel wells and other heavily contaminated areas.  Durability is one of the primary benefits of these wash mitts.

If you are sick of seeing your sheepskin wash mitt fall apart right before your eyes, it is time to switch to a Lake Country Ulti-Mit.
