    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    From last night, did a unique wash to the car. I started with Griot's Garage foaming surface wash, let it dwell and rinsed. While it was wet I decided to use up the leftover RW from the last wash, Griot's Garage Brillant Shine RW but added 2 oz of Adam's RW in there for a boost and added some hot water and a total of 5 edgeless mf towels. Even though the car was wet from the rinsing of the pre-wash foaming I still pre-treated each panel with the RW solution. I really like how it finished out! I dried the car, jams, tires and wheels and engine bay. Finishing up I applied a coat of Gyeon Tire Express and called it a night. The Gyeon Tire Express is great because you don't have to wait for the tire to be completely dry and once you apply it, when it dries, looks even better, I'll post pics later.

    They work. On the cheap (110 for 16,2200 lumen daylights) not bad, not the greatest but I will never be happy.
    I have led work lights for sides and front as I work. All in all, it helps light er up.
    I replaced the 16, T5 HOs at the same time.

    Car is wet in the pics, in case I get shine scrutinized.

    I know that it is supposed to snow and rain tomorrow, but if it’s in my driveway, it’s going to shine. Each vehicle got rinsed off with the Worx Hydroshot then rinseless wash with Wolfgang Uber.

    Lmao, don’t worry I’ve used painters tape for the longest time. It’s surprisingly always held up. I don’t think I’ve ever had to replace one because it wore off a spray bottle. Held up to water, chemicals, whatever. I probably have just been lucky/not using everything as often as some of you guys.





    Idk how well these will hold up on squeeze bottles, but they sure look way better than tape What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I can do that with most of my cleaners, but I just have this compulsion to label things no matter what I’m doing. Eventually I’ll thin down leftover compounds and polishes I’ve tried and then my closet won’t look horrific.

    The paperwork for my job includes the job number right on the form, and when I turned about 150 forms in for QA earlier this week I separated them all with paper clips and post it notes with the job on them.

    My boss looked at me and was like “you could’ve just put them in a big pile and I would’ve sorted them myself. Says the job # right there.”

    Just can’t do it What did you do today, in regards to detailing? I have to organize

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Yesterday while we were having a thunderstorm I was in the garage, heat on, getting the SS washed. It wasn’t too bad, just road salt dust on it. I decided to use a couple ounces of the remaining half gallon of Meguiar’s D114 that I have, with 1 oz. in the wash bucket and 1 oz. in the iK sprayer. I sprayed the paint and wheels down then cleaned the wheels first. For grins and giggles I used the new Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Wax on the coated wheels. Then on to the paint. I did a quick rinse with just water then did the rinseless wash. The MF towels were coming off of the car clean except for the lowest trim and directly behind the rear wheels. The door jambs all got a good cleaning as that salt dust goes everywhere. I also pulled the WeatherTech mat out on the driver’s side as it was the only one dirty. It got rinsed off then cleaned with McKee’s Floor Mat & Cargo Liner Rejuvenator. I love that stuff as IMHO it works every bit as good as the WeatherTech Cleaner.


    I also discovered a rock chip in the hood. I’ll pick up some touch up paint this coming Saturday when I get the oil changed. Once warmer weather gets here it’ll get fixed.
