What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Recently coated with cquartz (3 coats) can coat (2 coats) and topped with cosmic spritz.

Gave first wash with chem guys honey dew (cannon) and Optimum car wash (bucket).

Crazy how easy it blow dries. Finished up with PFM’s and Merlin’s.

Late yesterday the first of the storms hit central Ohio and cooled us off and by dinner it was a beautiful cool clear evening. (changed later of course). I took advantage of that lull in the weather and cleaned up my wife's car relaxing a bit while chatting with neighbors wo came by as many were out walking and enjoying the evening too.

13 months and 18k miles later the Syncro coating is looking great and shedding water very impressively. Syncro/Skin has finally started to fade in that department a little but it's still just a leaf blower away from being 97%+ dry.
 
Thanks, Roger. Looking forward to heading out to Rise and Drive.

It's also time to re-up with some new AG products!
 
Ooops, forgot the pics. Finished up yesterday coting my wife's Outback. Actually hood and front fenders were done about a week ago with Wolfgang's Uber Coating, remainder of car with Nanolex Sishield. Of course, we can't go a day w/o rain, but the beading is nice - as expected.

Had quite a busy Memorial Day weekend. Polished and coated my customer with the Edition One G63’s Porsche Macan Turbo. Also did a maintenance wash on his Edition One when I finished the Porsche. Lastly, had a new client with a G63 that I coated on Memorial Day.

Pre soak at coin op the hot soap pressure wash and rinsed. Then spotless rinse. Went home and wiped down with my version of elixir. Had used 10oz up but was streaky and grabby so added in 10oz water and helped a lot no issues whatsoever. Direct sun would be another test though. So was 2oz ech2o, 2oz HydrO2, 2oz reload and 26 oz water. As stated used 10 oz previously before running into issues so added another 10. Someone may be able to math that up but I’m not trying for what the ratio is now.

Here is finished product and a Merlin’s shot or 2.

Tried it like that and found hard to remove also. Tried it with 2/2/2oz after duluted also. Same. Sticking with 3/3 in 32oz bottle. I think hydro gums it up.

Finally found time to work on my company van today.

Purchased it last month and the paint was in horrible condition. Tons of scratches, paint chips, etc.

So this morning I decided to take the day to correct most of the issues. It's a Dodge Grand Caravan so it's too big to fix completelly in one day. So I did a quick wash, Iron Deconned it, clayed it and degreased it. This revealed how bad the paint was. I am pretty sure the used car dealer I purchased it from slapped a ton of glaze on it cause the paint looked twice as bad after claying ;)

So I wet sanded most of the biggest scratches, only spending a few minutes on each. If it did not remove it, too bad, move on. Must have sanded at least 50 of them.

Then I did a quick compound on all the sanded areas and finished with a quick compound of the rest of the pannel as well (on each pannel).

Degreased the paint again, then cleaned with solvents in preparation for the coating.

Put Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light over the paint, wheels, trims, headlights, backlights.

I then coated the windows and windshield with McKee's 37 Glass Coating.

Finished with coating the tires with Optimum Tire Coating after cleaning them with mineral spirit.

So I am happy with the results, far from perfect, I would guess an extra 10 hours of work would have been needed to get it there, but I would say it went from 4/10 to 7.5/10. Since it's my work vehicle, I know it will get beaten up so perfection is not important to me. Just wanted it to look good from a few feet away ;)

Pictures coming soon ;)
