    How's my water beading?

    How's my water beading?


    Washing the wife's car today, it's had nothing but Black Label Diamond Surface Coating on it and then maintained with Black Diamond Coating Booster.

    1. Cleaned wheels with Iron X and Wheel Woolies Boars Hair Wheel Brush
    2. Washed car with Foam Gun and Microfiber Chenille Wash Mitt
    3. Dried car with Guzzler Waffle Weave Microfiber Drying Towel and Blaster Sidekick.








    Had the windows tinted this week...

    I'd say good! Tinting adds the finishing touch!

    I always like the way water beading up on a freshly coated surface looks...




    Drying is fast an easy...


    Time to go do something to the inside now and put the top down, it's sunny and work here in Stuart, Florida!

    Did you coat the wheels as well? If so will the coating survive the iron x treatment?

    Looks like my beading on my Jeep. I'm jealous though. It must be nice to be able to go to the shelf and pick any product you want at any time. You have the detailing life. I just put a coat of 845 on mine last night.

    Have not coated the wheels. Going to either get the wheels powdercoated or replace them with chrome AMG wheels.

    I don't think any coating will hold up to repeated applications of Iron X or most wheel cleaners. The front wheels on this car get a heavy dose of brake dust with normal use. I try to keep the Iron X off the tires because I have TUF Shine Tire Clearcoat on them.

    Just finished doing an interior detail using Black Label interior products. I really like these products and especially the Vinyl & Leather Coating.




    Tops down... I'm out of here....
