Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
It's funny how things happen, case in point, Derek0609 sends me a pic of his just washed, I washed mine yesterday. My wife and our daughter are visiting our nanny/friend and her family after work, so I've got some "free time". I could see the pollen on the car, even after I drove home so I did a light WW using N914, light meaning spray into The Rag Company Eagle edgeless plush mf towel, I have the orange ones and I could see faint, yellowish lines, when in the hell does this end
Since the weather is going to suck the next couple days, I mean it's the weekend, what would you expect and since it's going to ait I decided to apply something to the car (insert Derek0609 laughing right now, along with numerous others here, LOL) The product used this time around isn't sold here, let's just call it DCP and it's a spray Sio2 sealant. I used "Brand LM" plush, edgeless mf towels to apply the product, sprayed directly into the towel, wiped in and buffed to perfection. To finish things up I applied an additional coat of 303 Tire Balm to the tires, now it goes into the garage till Monday, happy Father's Day to me

What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Gf is busy until real late tonight so I decided to knock out a few more things with the work van for fun.
Wiped it down with ONR,Clayed it, and hit the lower parts with tarx, then wiped it down again.
Decided to go over the whole thing with HD speed on a megs 5” yellow foam disc, and it pulled a ton of crap off the paint.
Taped off the last small section of the hood to see if I could get a good 50/50 of the color change. That’s the best I could do lol. It was a lot more obvious in person.
I buzzed around the van, wiped off, then went around with HCW diluted 7:1 wiped it down with that.
I sanded down the headlights and coated them with the megs consumer coating stuff, didn’t get a before picture as I was just enjoying the process, but I had this:
Imagine a real faded headlight, like I’m sure you’ve seen. That’s how they looked. One day I’ll scrub the trim and put something on it just for fun.
After that I was all set up to be done, but then I figured since I was chugging along I may as well at least clean my driver seat up because it was honestly not great.
Misted D101 on and agitated it with a blue non scratch scuff pad, and wiped away with a damp towel. Followed up with a dry towel to dry it off some. Came out better than I thought it would for a quick and dirty clean up.
The carpet has been humiliated so there’s not a ton I can do with that. So I really just pick away at the surfaces I actively touch, which just ends up being the door panels, dash, center console, etc.

Hah, to be fair the van does have 180k miles on it . I inherited it with 173k, and before I took responsibility for it I don’t think it had ever been cleaned lol.
I’m kind of thankful the carpet is destroyed. It stops me from putting way too much effort into cleaning it

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I just loaded my trunk container that holds my mf towels with freshly washed ones, drying towels too. While I was down there I applied Griot's leather conditioner on the seats and shiftknob, sprayed CG's Signature scent on the mats too. Now its sitting all fresh and nowhere to go
