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

    Washed our two cars today. The Dodge with Griots Surface Wash. The Jaguar with Griots Surface Wash, followed by PolyGloss. The Dodge is getting another coat of FK1000p tomorrow morning so I skipped the PolyGloss. I found a bottle of Griots wheel cleaner in the back of a cabinet, so I used it on both. I forgot how pleasant it is to use. The wheels are coated with FK1000p and Armour Detail Ceramic spray, respectively. The wheel cleaner didn’t affect either coatings.

    Forgot the shine and gloss that Tac Shinee Wax can add. I'm on a mission to use it up as much as I can and hoping it will help reduce dust... vehicle is probably sitting for awhile so What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Forgot how quickly we lose daylight around here so got dark on me.


    Also used:

    BH Touchless
    DIY Detail Suds
    Phoenix Titan to dry
    Prima Tire gel (old one there)
    TWHS Wheel & Tire

    Can’t help it. I’ve been a teacher for the last 25 years and I’ve learned that people learn best by doing and not just being told what to do.

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

    I gave the Qashqai a rinseless wash today using Ech2o, it got caught out in the rain and hail on Friday, so it wasn't real dirty. I do prefer it over ONR, although I wouldn't use either on a really dirty vehicle. I didn't touch the wheels, they still look ok.

    The most annoying thing was this blemish on the hood, and I knew exactly who did it. We went out to dinner at a local pub last night, as we were walking back to the cars my brother just puts his phone on the hood while searching his pockets for something, in a serious tone I said "please don't", and he gets annoyed at me, he's lucky I didn't throw it on to the train lines behind the pub. Fortunately it wasn't a scratch, he's lucky.

    Descale cleans better than any soap I’ve used.

    Funny how different folks in different parts of the country and different grime get totally different results. My results with Descale have been meh.

    Not much out there in acidic soap.

    Hopefully Labo Purifica does better for me in the NW.

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

    While my buddy Marsin worked on my EN today I did a N914 WW on his EN. I just can't sit there and do nothing and I don't like watching people working on my car, never did, never will. I want it the way it was before and then....ALL DONEWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I ended up using my IK sprayer filled as well as about a 1/3 more, the sun was coming up fast it was almost 90 degrees. I told him he's gotta hit the quarter wash for those rims, my God were they dirty...and INTRICATE...and satin black...and that's enough about thatWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Have you tried it in a bucket wash? If not, may i suggest to try it that way. I found it to be way more effective, as it states on the bottle

    I should have clarified the Descale was a contact wash. The BH worked, but it wasn't strong enough to remove heavily imbedded dirt. There was no getting around doing a contact wash.

    With that said, I still think Descale cleans exceptionally well.
