Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Posted this in the Griots ceramic All-in-1 thread yesterday.
Picked up a bottle from local Autozone.
Of course I couldn't wait to do a proper detail.
2018 Ford Edge, quick wipe of rinseless on the hood, clay bar(which came out quite clean) and hit it.
I've never used an A-in-1 so I have nothing to compare, but application and wipe off seemed similar to Meguiars UP.
GG6 with LC white pad.
Honestly, the paint was in very good condition from previous owner (unlike my Golf R), so I can't really comment on correction ability. When I get time, I'll do the rest of the vehicle, but in the meantime, here's a reflection shot.

I think one coating is what I’ll stick with in the future. I got some ghosting spots after applying the second coat. Had to spot apply more SiC and quickly buff to clear up the finish. Not fun.
Car is brand new. Made the job a bit easier.
Bought yourself a future collectors item, huh How is it and congrats on the new ride

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
So after days of driving in the rain and yesterday sitting in the snow I just had to do something
I decided to do a Feynlab RW w/the grout sponge, 3.5 oz in 3.5 gallons of water, 2BM method. I pre-treated the sh!t out of every panel too and as you can see in the orange bucket, it cleaned VERY well (that was before I did the tires and wheels)
I then went over the entire car with a mix Scott from DPC used to sell, basically his spray wax, waterless wash and distilled water. It left the paint super slick, even used it on the wheel faces and spokes too, along with door jams and those massive exhaust tips.
Next I dressed the tires w/ Auto-Fanatic Hole Shot tire dressing, a light coat because the Adam's VRT was holding up pretty well. Moving along I finished up my small bottle of CarPro Clarify on the inside AND outside windows. Lastly I vac'd out the mats and wiped down high traffic areas w/TWHS Interior Detailer.
Then I took the EN down the freeway for a little blast, turned around and got gas at Shell ($5.26 but it's coming down) On the way home I stopped at Auto Zone for some washer fluid and coming out I saw that 72 Cutlass...GREEN I like what he did by adding the glass hood from a 4-4-2, those larger Magnum 500 style rims, fat tires and blackened out grill and headlight surrounds too, well done!
I can't wait for it to warm up so I can go to town on my car, inside and out. I've got a Colourlock Alcantera cleaner/protectant kit coming (thanks for the nudge on that brand Guz).
Can't wait to see everyone's spring detail soon

What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Tried out mystic bubble on wheels yeaterday…. Really liking it…. Coated tires (2 coats) with TW GTS…. Rained today…. Not to hopeful on durability.
Front Michelin’s seem to absorb it all.
