Default Great day for deliveries!

Got a total of 4 shipments in today!

First, some more auto detailing stuff to add to my lineup. Probably won't mean a whole lot to most, but I'm really excited to try some of this:



Optimum Power Clean
Sonax Wheel Cleaner
Meguiar's Wheel Brightener
Optimum Opti Clean
Chemical Guy's Stripper Scent
Einszett Lederpflege leather cleaner/conditioner
Einszett Cockpit Premium
Mini EZ detail brush
wool buffing pad

Then, some pipe tobacco samples and a cool pint glass from Brad (OLS). Thanks buddy! :





An autographed G. Love poster that I won a couple weeks ago:



And my favorite part. 15 Boli Coronas Gigantes from 1998



Today is turning into a GREAT DAY.

It took them 13 years to deliver the cigars? I hope you didn't pay extra for that.

Just kidding. Nice score. Jealous of those Boli's.

I have a Porter Cable 7424, but I primarily use my Makita 9227 rotary. I really want to get the 7424XP, to see if I can get decent correction with it. I get amazing results with the Makita.

Some sweet pick ups there. Judging by the detailing products your not going to clean your 95 Ford Taurus station wagon. So what Kind of sweet ride are they for?

I have tried some of their stuff, but haven't for a long while. Great products for sure, but I get similar results from Duragloss, and for way less money. Nothing bad to say about Zaino except the price. Although I shouldn't talk. I paid a hair shy of $200 for a pot of wax not too long ago. Dodo Juice Supernatural 250mL wooden pot. Signed by the owners

I do detailing on the side for extra cash. I enjoy doing it, so I keep it part time. I love resurrecting a vehicle's paint surface. My ride? Lincoln LS. Modified tastefully I think.

Taken/uploaded at different times. I stopped blacking out the plates because there's really no need to.

By the way, I didn't send you too much Anni Kake out of fear that they ruined the blend
and my little jar was all I had of the "old stuff". I am kind of a selfish guy. Looking at it,
it looks like I didn't send you $hit, lol. I will ship you out some more baccy soon enough,
my haul comes in tomorrow. Then I will send you some reasonable samples.
I just didn't want the glass to ride alone.

Yeah, yeah... the plate thing is kind of funny. I just went through an album in my PB and picked out a few pictures. I started out blacking the plates out, but then decided it wasn't needed. I wasn't doing any illegal racing or anything. I think the trend started with the underground racing guys.

And brother, do not feel bad about what you sent. Nothing to feel bad about! The glass is awesome, and I am excited to try these tobaccos out! Thanks again!

The drawings that man created are some of the best truly American art produced in
the 20th century. NO ONE has ever illustrated like Don Martin. So I figured I would STEAL
blatantly from him, you know, to honor him. I DID spend two hours painting a lot of lines
out of that piece and strengthening others to at least make it reproducable in one color, so
I helped a little.

Nice pickups! That reminds me that I need to order a few chemicals for my spring detailing. I just brought the rest of my detailing stuff up from the basement. So, detailing should start pretty soon.
