What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Finally had some time with my wife’s new Tiguan. Washed with Blackfire waterless, did some remaining adhesive removal with HD Speed by hand and then sealed with Ultimate Fast Finish.

I didn’t touch the wheels because my Ultimate Waterless Wheel/Tire cleaner was supposed to come but delivery was late today.

Cuz they're dumb? Really I don't know though I swear I see like 75% of them with those stupid things on. They sell for like $50 bucks on Ebay lol.

If this customer is dumb, I want to be as dumb as he is. He owns multiple buildings In SF and is quite wealthy and yet he is a super down to earth and humble dude.

Today I did the neighbor’s Jeep Rubicon using Optimum Car Wash. I started by foaming the Jeep, letting it dwell as I cleaned the wheels and tires. I used McKee’s Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator on the tires and Adam’s Wheel Cleaner on the wheels. Wheels got a coating of CarPro Hydro. Rinsed the Jeep then washed it using many MF pads in a bucket. Rinsed it then clayed it using Mother’s yellow clay. Did another quick rinse then coated it with Dr. Beasley’s Formula 1201 Paint Coating. The paint is in excellent condition as he never goes through the scratch tube and has learned well from me on proper wash techniques. The roof got CarPro Hydro. Inside glass was wiped down with Stoner’s. Tires got a coating of McKee’s SiO2 Tire Shine then out in the sun for some pics.

Nice work, Paul!

Does he know his spare fell off?

**Misterpaul** · 03-23-2019, 05:53 PM

He took it off so I’d have an easier time cleaning the spare wheel holder and the paint behind it. Looking out the window I see it’s back on with the spare wheel cover on it too.

Yeah, the wife has a Wrangler. I know all about the spare removal. Lol

So I am not sure if this would count under “What did you do regarding detailing?” It seemed closest since I think the Show And Shine is only cars you have done.

Went to a local car show and took these shots - enjoy. Frankly I was a bit disappointed on most of the paint jobs - many had swirls and several needed a good #7 infusion.
