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

    Some spot correction on my gf's mom's car while she's over. This was a little Griot's FCC and their hand waxing & correcting kit with an orange pad. This was paint transfer from hitting her mailbox. Maybe some paint touch-up later.

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

    Took care of the other vehicle yesterday. Used some of the new Kamikaze d'elegance products. I used the new wash and the new spray wax coat. Really like the smell of each on them. The wash is meant to be in a bucket but I tried it from a foam gun. It did OK... not any real foam but definitely suds. The wax was really easy to use and has set-up nicely. It's smooth but has that little squeak to it if you lightly touch... we'll see how water behavior is for the next rain.

    Expensive spray wax but fun to treat the cars after an irregular winter with little washing. No complaints on the look for a white vehicle either!

    My brother left his car with me while him and his wife are in Las Vegas for 2 days, so I decided to hook his car up for free.

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

    98% sure I've never washed my bicycle since my mom bought it for me 30 years ago.

    She gave me a choice of R/C boat or new bike, choice is shown in the pics. It's not light, nor does it glide forever, but still allows me to ride with my kids.

    Before (with dog photo bomb) and after. I just went to town with Griots HD wheel cleaner and a few different brushes. Hit the chain with some Water-Displacment #40 to minimize the rust.

    What are your plans for the upholstery repair for the saddle? Seriously, though, looks to be in great shape for a 30 year old bike!

    I'm pretty sure that's been there for a good 10 years, adds character....and I'm too lazy to actually fix it.
    Just like the wobbly wheels.

    I did have to replace the crankset a while back because the crank shaft separated from the sprocket.

    Did the "usual" but beforehand it received a pre-wash using the IK Foam Pro 12 w/ 1.5 oz of DIY Detail Incredible Suds & 1.0 oz of Bilt-Hamber Touchless, for good measureWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    It rained and was driven in the rain so it was "dirty" but the self cleaning of the freshly applied Adam's spray graphene and base Gyeon Q2 Pure EVO are really kicking a$$ hereWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Vac'd it out and will spray some type of interior scent in there after dinner, maybe some light tire topping, not that it really needs itWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?
