    Avoid the gel version, it never dries and will easily sling. Think of it like Meguiars Endurance.

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

    Have yet to wash the car aside from a touchless tunnel that I ran it through 2 weeks ago, since early December. With everything blooming and birds using my car as a toilet apparently, my wipers and glass are trash.

    Best I could do in terms of detailing today for me was use a gas station squeegee to get back some windshield visibility LOL.

    Sad, but true.

    Did a Frothe wash today. Dispute all the new rinsless’s out that I have tried Frothe still my favorite.


    Cleaned wheels thoroughly and applied Polish angel SuperSport. Deep cleaned tires and tried new tire dressings. This tire got a 50/50 with DarkSide and TW graphene. Other side got Griots and TW.





    P21s polishing soap to bring the tips back and then coated with SuperSport.

    Been almost a year where I had stamina to do a wash, wheels and tire and apply something to all.

    Felt good.

    3rd day in a row at the touch-free wash What did you do today, in regards to detailing? This time I pre-treated w/ N914 and Bilt-Hamber Surfex on the tires/wheels/wells. Used Dr. Beasly drying aid on the top surfaces, buffed down nicely.

    Once home I did a quick vac and Mango 3D interior spray. I dressed the tires w/TWHS graphene + ceramic tire dressing but before bed I applied a 2nd coat, this time Hydrosilex tire dressing, that really glossed them upWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

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

    Added another layer of tire shine to each. The TW graphene needed it. It goes on more like your standard dressing. The other two seem to have some thickness to them…. Almost gel like.

    I’m hoping for something to give me a solid 3+ weeks. Coatings are nice for big tires but the edges ware fast in low profiles so don’t really work for me.




    Cleaned leather with leather honey cleaner and then protected with ColorLock Aniline protector.

    Cleaned rest of interior with P&S express and topped with PBL L&V coating. Came out looking great.

    Been stacking so much ch with deep cleaning being a burden the last few months forgot I got Leather Masters Vital to condition the leather and Dr.B’s Dash Pro for dash. Next time I guess.

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

    Had a window of no rain, so did the weekly Maintenace wash on the truck. Long weekend for me. I was tempted to pull it in the garage and do my spring polish and 2 coats of TWHS Spray coating but decided it's just going to wait. In the meantime, WET WAX is doing a fantastic job of keeping it protected and looking good.

    It slowed down to a misting this afternoon so I blew the car off with the EGO. Sprayed with Griot's RW, did a RW with Absolute, then blew the car off again to get the solution out of any cracks.

    Finally got everything cleaned and ready to move to the remodeled garage with shop. Unfortunately it’s still a work in progress. Office is 90%done with 1 cement wall and another faux brick. Will have it completed by this July.
