    That is a lot of tree sperm.

    About how many times a week do you have to wash your cars? I can tolerate some pollen but that is insane.

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

    I think I might need an intervention. I believe I’m becoming addicted to cleaning cars.

    This is the old truck that the Silverado I posted earlier is replacing. The owner decided to go and visit a tractor supply store since he was on my side of town and I let him leave his truck at my crib while he was out. I had been looking for the perfect vehicle to test out Touch-Less v2 and this was my opportunity. This farm truck had never been washed and had dirt and grime in every crack and crevice. An hour later and this is the result.

    The wife looked at the truck and was amazed at how good it looks. It looks a thousand times better but if you zoom in you can see the discoloration all over and the clear coat is gone or peeling all over the truck. Just goes to show that we truly are the 1% when it comes to cleaning cars. But, these are the types of people I love doing work for.

    I did record the before and after to show what Touch-Less can do. Hopefully I can find a few minutes to edit the footage and post to show my initial thoughts on the new Touch-Less.

    Funny the longer the Broncos are out the less I’m starting to like them. Telluride though love the styling.

    I agree, a clean Black car is unmatched! I love the look of clean Black car. It is especially satisfying when you clean it and don't see anything but a glossy black hole. I forgot how much black cars show.

    Yea the Broncos were nice when they came out, but they are very cramped inside and not comfortable for long car rides.

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

    Edge got a bath this weekend.
    24/7 outside, mostly parked under a big tree.

    Wheels got Megs wheel cleaner and rest was Griots Brilliant Finish and a bucket full of microfiber towels.

    Since the apron in front of the garage is at an angle, I put the left wheels on a couple boards so I can get to the bottom edge of the tires.

    2 before and one after pic. I should have put some dressing on the tires.
