What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

AMG E 63 S

McKees Foaming Wheel Cleaner overspray changing color on the fender.

I think I’m going to hit the whole car with an iron remover after seeing that.

More brake dust I assume. This car has the largest brake dust shields I’ve ever seen. Probably less that a 1/4” clearance.

I love seeing wheel transformations like that.

Ha. Yeah, it is odd!

iPhone pics taken a second apart, just at different distance.

Those pads are tearing that car up.
What are you going to use on them?

I found Essence Plus brings out the black and makes them shine with a light hand application. At least on my car.
Then top with ECH20/Reload.

Just Opti-Seal for now.

I think I want to try out IGL Premier though and will probably get some with my next order.

Had time inbetween Premier League games, although I'm late for the 2nd match, so I decided to do Phase II of that just released product I spoke about earlier. I did 8 oz Sio2 spray and 4 oz of distilled water, shake well. Because it's cool down here as well as the product being on the thicker side I knew it was going to be a 2 towel job. I used his newest towel, The Roman and The Jack for buffing. I sprayed 4 sprays on the hood, complete overkill, remember this is a brand new product so there's a learning curve for sure. I wiped it in real good with the Roman and then buffed down with The Jack. I have to say the product is damn impressive! Since it's so new I need to find out about cure time but I used less as I went around the car, so I learned on the fly.

The tires are dressed with Hydrosilex Slick, one my few tire products that works well on my Blizzaks. The car now sits till tomorrow when it's back to work, supposed to be dry all week with increasing temps but God only knows how much salt was laid down on NYE because it was raining and somewhat newer freezing

Enjoy the pics:

There it is. Not sure it’s any glossier than before but definitely slicker. Based on ease of use, I guess I’ll keep using bead maker. At least on her car. Mine is still too good to mess with wearing just Syncro.

That's a great color on the Fit, they are great cars! I had one right before I joined AG. I traded it in on a CRZ because I missed having a manual, too bad they couldn't find me a handshaker Fit because I would probably still have it!

Yeah, small but spacious. Super low maintenance. Affordable. I don’t find it pretty but it’s not super ugly either. It’s her second and probably last, she wants something bigger and AWD next.
