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

    spent a lot of time cleaning the front and rear wheels on my new Harley

    washed with McKee's N-914, prepped them and coated in Gyeon Rim Q2....lots of little nooks and crannies...not a hug fan of spoked wheels when it comes to cleaning, coating them to make them easier to keep clean, and they look slick

    I even dressed the little strip of leather, you can see i slopped over a bit, but I buffed that eventually

    I did a little bit of spot correction on the paint last night and put the first coat of Polish Angel's Glass Coat on it, it'll get another coat tonight

    I'll get pics of the whole thing up soon, it's turning out really great

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

    So I got off of work early and ran the EN through the touch-free wash and headed home. Once home I decided to add some "additional" protection while drying the car. For this I reached for Nv Lustre, AMAZING productWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I also used TWHS Inside Job for the engine bay, topped up the tires with DIY Detail tire dressing and vac'd out the car and sprayed some CG's Signature Scent in the interiorWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Lance Mark, let’s see the new Harley! Unless I missed it somewhere.


    I did a sanity wash on my Jeep. First one in months.

    Just clayed it and tomorrow I’ll do a light polish then Adam’s Graphene spray. Bought it during a sale and want to give it a shot. Haven’t had a lot of free time lately so very happy to get it cleaned up.

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

    So my g/f's Cruze was OVERDUE for a wash, so once her and my daughter were in bed I headed to the touch-free wash this evening. I started by pre-treating the tires & wheels with Bilt-Hamber Surfex @3:1 and then pre-washing the body with the IK Foam Pro 12 filled with Griot's Garage foaming surface wash and their Brillant Shine snow foam (finished off the surface wash) Because it's like 50 degrees I let it dwell a bit longer and come morning I'll see how it looks, I mean it's going to be better and to her it will be great but probably not to me.

    I plan on doing a Griot's Garage Brillant Shine rinseless wash on the EN sometime tomorrow, the warmer days are numbered sadly, so gotta get out there with some "Therapy washes"What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I also decided to add a coat of TWHS graphene spray tire dressing to the Pirelli's, last application of the year for them as the winter set-up goes on next Friday🫣

    I'm very happy with the "candy-like" finish this leaves behind. Because the weather is mild I've gotta layer while I canWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

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

    A few new products used today:

    Labocosmetica Primus prewash
    P&S Undressed
    The Final Details Soap and Wheel/Tire Cleaner (small, veteran owned company in Illinois) - good guy and great prices - no complaints with the products

    Apex BC3 - extremely slick!
    Gyeon Tire Express

    All finished around 12pm with plenty of weekend left (but not without a battle with the Colorado sunshine still)

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

    Finally got my hose reel set up. Now I’m one step closer to having my garage became a one stop shop for all detailing and lawn care needs. The Ryobi is temporary. I’m hoping that there is a decent Black Friday sale on the Active 2.0.

    Edit: it’s not crooked. It’s just a crooked rushed picture.

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

    After the rain cleared, did the weekly Maintenace wash on the truck late afternoon. Finished with flex wax as a rinse wax. And finished up my Griots ceramic tire shine. Now it's back to my stash of Duragloss #253 for the tires. I did enjoy the look and performance of the Griots. Once I go thru my current stash of #253, I will most likely go back to a ceramic tire Shine. They are impressive. And last long.
