So I added some Hydrosilex Slick to the tires, 303 protectant to the wells and Tri-Nova leather conditioner to the seats, finished with squirts of CG's Signature scent, nice and fresh...inside and out

In hindsight the whole process felt rushed and very cumbersome, but everything came out just fine. Would’ve been faster had I just mixed up some car wash and done it that way, but at least I tried .
I get those what was I thinking moments every so often.

Hah, yeah.
I guess I just see people talking about doing it that way at pay and spray car washes and I was like “what the hell I may as well try.” I figured mixing up car soap, rinsing the mitts at the end and putting them away would’ve taken longer.
Maybe if I would stop procrastinating and replace my pump sprayer it would’ve been a quicker process .
I guess it would help if I was running some type of DI water set up, wouldn’t feel the need to rush to get it done before anything catastrophic happened with water drying.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Newb here...Basic Wash today as I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to use on her next for the “big detail”. About 4-5 weeks ago, completed my first correction w/HF DA, stripped old wax (new car for me), iron x, blackfire clay mit, DPC Flash Pro with LC Orange 5.5”, then finished with a fairly generic wax (I didn’t know better at the time), and Beadmaker as the LSP.
For my first time, I think I did a great job, I text my buddy saying the car still had its clear coat still intact...mission accomplished!! After closer inspection, I still had some swirls, to no fault of the product but to my lack of experience with a DA.
I’ll post my questions about the “next step” on the proper forum later.
Today just used Meguiar’s Gold Class Wash, Eagle One on the wheels, Meguiar’s Hot Shine on the tires, Griot’s Interior Cleaner, and topped it off with P&S Bedmaker(love the stuff...smooth as a babies....) I was tempted to breaking out the DA today but I had to stop myself to make sure I do the right thing in regards to products being used next time.
Thx...

Dude, for your first detail, That is OUTSTANDING!
Awesome work, man.
Black paint is hardest (by far) to get looking good.
Great pics!

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
IGL Premier users only...question
So I applied this to my car 2 weeks ago, no issues. I've applied it ontop of several other layers of "stuff" but I guess it only matters what the last product was and that would've been Meg's HCW mixed at 7:1 and applied in the spray on, hose off method...no problems, so this brings me to the question.
Yesterday I did a N914 WW on my buddy Hectour's 79' Rx-7 to get it ready for an application of IGL Premier. Now I should say I did paint correction and coating on the car last year, so I decided to just go with a stronger WW and a single application of IGL Premier. I did this in his garage and it ended up getting muggy yesterday but I used a special towel to apply it (can't name it as I think I'm on a teather now), short nap and a 2nd towel to buff (plush towel but again, can't name it as I don't wanna be brought up on charges) When I buffed it down it leveled down, I saw NO high spots. The car sat for the rest of the day, overnight and came out this morning to go to a show. The clouds rolled in this morning and rain came in, off and on and my buddy tells me there was a number of high spots, they apparently just "appeared", WTH He said they were all over the car too!
So my question is this, did it not play well with last years applied coating or did it not cure enough and/or the weather reek havoc on it...thoughts

I personally have no idea. I've only applied it once to my car and it was applied to bare clear coat. Car originally had on powerlock/collinite for about 6 months. Car received a full decon, clay and light polish Menzerna 3500. Applied it on April 24th and I haven't had any issues.
