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

    I simply followed directions on the Ceriglass from Carpro and found results to be less than visible haha. I didn't use any water and had no splatter and little dust. I can see how water would help keep the compound usable however. Windshield feels super smooth to touch but visibly unchanged. Rain this week through Wednesday so will see if it acts any different. I plan to try again and will look into a method that utilizes more water as you suggested.

    Just used my G9 it's what I got.

    I remember when I polished my windshield years ago, I think it was Ceriglass I used, there was absolutely no beading afterwards, it completely removed all hydrophobicity, and almost all the very fine scratches I wanted gone. I'm pretty certain I just put Rain-X on it after, that's what I was using back then.

    Dont expect to much improvement using a da machine.

    Water is needed. Its different than polishing paint. A rotary is also needed to truely be effective. It takes TIME to do it. You are basically grinding glass.

    Mike p made how to videos on this. I watched those b4 attemping and it really helped me start off on the right foot.

    My front windshield had a world of a difference.

    Got my detailing fix Sunday afternoon. Between the rain. Whew that was sun and humidity! Normal maintenance wash. Finished with wet wax. Had a good thunderstorm around 9PM. have to admit I was tired after the wash. Downed a power-aid drink. Then hit the shower.

    Put some Griot's ceramic glass cleaner on the driver's side of my windshield. This is the side I had put the Invisible Glass Clean & Repel on. It was pouring on the drive home and that side was done as far as beading goes. The Griot's side seems to still have some beading. This weekend, I'll clay, do Griot's glass sealant and then ceramic glass cleaner.

    Driver's side when I got home:

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

    The black trim on the FJ needed some attention, last time I used Mother's CMX Ceramic Trim Restore & Coat, it was OK, but I thought I'd use something different this time, after checking the shelf, I went with Autoglym Bumper &Trim Gel. It applies very easily, looks good, longevity will be the variable.

    The Qashqai goes in for a service tomorrow, so I made it presentable. Outside was just dust and fingerprints, so I went over it with Hybrid Solutions Ceramic 3 in 1 Quick Detailer, and put some Autoglym Instant Tyre Dressing on the tyres. Vacuumed the interior, got all the lolly wrappers out of the door pockets and cup holders. Then wiped everything over with Hybrid Solutions Inside Job. All done in just over an hour.

    True. I would be more worried about the actual reasons that the fires are burning. A dirty car would be the last thing on my mind.
