What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[Klasse Act]

So I got out there to do one of those "Sanity Washes" this morning and my God is it mugggggy

I just used Griot's Garage foaming surface wash, let dwell, rinsed and free flowing water. I dried it quickly as the humidity is high already. Speaking of drying it, the fresh coat of Nv Lustre had the beading OFF THE CHARTS! The sun got in the way of a good pic but these beads were HOF beads️️

While drying the door jams I decided to install a gift given to me by my buddy Marsin. I met him a year ago and have given him a number of detailing products and even donated a limited edition Hyundai Elantra N Blipshift shirt as a giveaway for his YouTube channel (Polish Bullitt)

I now have N Performance Alcantara e-brake handle, armrest and shiftknob and boot and now their door scuff plates, soon the N Performance intake

Buick got a rinseless with feynlab pure, foam cannon pretreat with mix of decon and lift(dunno how it go mixed...oops lol) and hit with iron remover as well. I did NOT top it, going to run Mohs evo naked for a while.

Thanks to Guz's old rinselss videos, i ordered 914 to try. Going to step away from onr for a bit and run clean bare paint for a while.

Quick wipedown of interior as well. Jeep also got the same entire treatment+ topped with amplify. yesterday.

My next detailing project arrived today. It’s in like new condition but customer wants it clayed. We’ll see if it needs polishing after the claybar then get it coated. Looking forward to this 1. Should be fun.

hope your pricing isn't just based on the number of doors. that should be like an 8-door sedan.

I backed it into the driveway no problem. Lol.
The last time someone brought me a limo I wanted nothing to do with driving it and had the customer back it in, but this time I wanted to try it and it wasn’t difficult at all.

That’s a lot of paint to clay! Lmao

Yea and I just went out and touched the paint and it feels rough as hell. 1 of those situations that makes me think I should iron decon 1st. but I’m not sure if I have enough iron decon on hand to cover the entire vehicle.lol. [edit: I just checked, I’ve got 2 full bottles of Ultimate Wheel Cleaner]

The good thing is the roof is vinyl.

I’m gonna earn good on this limo.

Used the Geist leather cleaner on the Jaguar. Just outstanding results. It was too hot to go farther on it. I’ll apply the other 2 steps next weekend. I also vac’d and cleaned the front floor mats. I used the Nextzett vinyl deep cleaner and the Weathertech preserver. Great combo. I also Amplify’d the Dodge.

Welcome! I think it does. Paint looks noticeably better. I'm impressed.

"This creates a sharp reflection after treatment and a "lightly polished" look to the paint film that cannot be achieved with standard stain removal or oil removal processes."

"Improvement of the reflection of the painted surface and smoothing of the surface of the paint film."

So I ended up buying the Glaze, which is fairly similar to Cleansing. Used it quickly on a small section after it arrived yesterday and same experience as you but a dry application. It did not really cover any blemishes but the paint was squeaky clean and ready for protection. I had just washed it 48hrs prior and it knocked out any previous protection applied in that wash. Pretty crazy how little effort went into it and yet I would have been comfortable adding any sort of LSP as if I had just polished.

I can't wait to do a larger area and know now I can comfortably layer OR do it properly and eliminate old protection to try new products. Good stuff coming out of Japan!

Messing around a bit today with the Limo. I cleaned the interior and also the wheels & tires. Finished off the wheels with a quick spray/rinse of Armor All Ceramic Wash.

Little details on the exterior such as the door handles & keyholes which were extraordinarily dirty are now perfectly clean.

The limo has 4 sets of chrome opera lights [3 light bars per set] which were in terrible condition.




I was able to make a dramatic difference by polishing them out with some 0000 steel wool.

I plan to go over them again as I just picked up a new batch of steel wool, but those are the initial results.^

I also polished the grill & hood emblem with the steel wool and restored the chrome to like new condition. It’s poppin.
