Just Used Turbomangt's Products

This is my wife's 2005 Grand Caravan. The bad news is that man that sure is a lot of vehicle. The good news is that it only took me about 45 minutes to apply the sealant. I used turbomangt's clay and finished it off with his paint sealant.

The clay made the finish on the vehicle feel "squeaky" clean. It took off all the road tar, and rail dust, and just plain crud. I filled a spay bottle with soap and water and used that for my lubricant. After claying and washing the vehicle I took a close look at the finish. The best way I can describe it was that the vehicle looked very clean. If you have never used clay before, like me, you got to try this stuff. It's amazing.

The paint sealant went on easy and came off easy. The combination of the clay and the sealant brought out the depth and sparkle highlights of the paint. And this is a light colored car. My wife commented that the GC looked better now than brand new.

I really didn't know how to detail the wheels. There seems to be some oxidation, but I didn't know how to remove it. I'd appreciate some help here and have attached a picture showing what I'm looking at.

I'm more than satisfied with turbomanngt's products. Good stuff.

I just used Gary's leather cleaner and leather treatment this afternoon and I am very impressed. I used a new white terry towel and could not believe how much dirt and blue dye came off my seats. I then put the leather treatment on them and they look like new with no trace of blue from my jeans and gives that nice flat satin finish. If you haven't used his products I would suggest you give them a try, now I wish the weather would change so I can clay and seal my car. Thx. Gary!!!

Hearing comments like this is why I enjoy doing what I do. I have a detailing seminar going on next week, I can't wait. I enjoy the heck out of showing people how to take of their car. Gary

Attached are pictures of my 1994 Chrysler New Yorker. Around here you don't see many of these cars anymore. Most of them are either in the junkyard or have been crushed. I guess you could say my car is a survivor.

I purchased this car new and have kept it out of the car washes. This car has never been garaged....it sits out in the elements. Years ago I learned that if you keep your car away from these "car eaters" your paint finish will love you for it. I wash the car every couple of weeks during the warm months, and never do anything to it during the winter.

I never waxed this car until last spring when I noticed some oxidation building on the paint. Went out and bought some Meguiar's Mirror glaze. Didn't care for this stuff at all. And in a month it was all gone. All that effort for nothing.

Then last fall I tried some Zaino. I contacted them first because of the oxidation problem. They told me to first use 3M #39009 for the oxidation then use the Zaino. Boy did that car shine and the Zaino lasted five months. I wouldn't even think about using wax ever again....only polymers.

Yesterday I used turbomangt's clay (first time using clay on this car) and paint sealant to clean it up after the winter. I like Gary's product much better than Zaino.

Not bad for 11 years old. Take a look.

Not to get off topic, but is that the same as the LHS? My uncle has one and I always liked it.

I believe the only difference between a 1994 LHS and a 1994 New Yorker is that the LHS had leather bucket seats and a floor shifter, and the New Yorker had leather split-bench seats and a column shifter. Not positive though. My New Yorker has the 3.5L engine that was the largerst available on this platform. This car can really go but it is a far cry to what you can get today. Thanks for asking.

This is my first Chrysler product. The thing that amazes me about this vehicle is the lack of rust. Sure there is some rust (but not much) under the vehicle but not on the exterior. Both front quarter panels are constructed with some type of non-metalic material. They really have held up well.

One Last thing.....I can't put my finger on it, but after owning a Chrysler product for the first time, I can honestly say that I'm proud to own a Chrysler.
