What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

**JT Moto** · 12-09-2020, 07:49 PM

13 hours on a straight black 2020 impala. No before pics, I have been getting slammed the last few weeks.

It had less than three hundred miles on it, but two years of lot rot in North Carolina and Detroit. Swirls, scratches, fallout, sap.

Customer paid cash and brought her son along. He used to work in a body shop and they refused the car but gave me two days to see what I could do. They were happy with the car and we cashed the check.

I had to exercise some caution as I found a bunch of compound in the cracks of the rear glass and the cowl. It’s not perfect but it’s black now and not dark grey with freckles

Ordered up some of the newest CarPro coating products and will be trying them out on a new vehicle I just picked up. Photos to come this weekend!

Does SiC need a top coat like Gliss?

Washed my truck last week. It’s coated with CQUK, and I wipe down with DG aqua wax every wash. I had some time to kill, decided what the heck. Grabbed the blackfire midnight sun from the cabinet.
Glow baby glow. A week later I can’t help but love me some good old fashioned nuba.
My truck is a ram, granite crystal metallic. It sure does pop.

So the AW works well on a coated car

Baking soda treatment on seats and carpet. Also added new OEM floor mats.

I haven’t had any problems. I don’t frequent this place as much as I used to.
But I have 2 vehicles currently coated in CQUK. One being about 6 months and the other about a year and a half.
The other was a solid 2 years with gloss coat while I owned it. (I sold it to my brother he had it for about 6 months his gf crashed it, it WAS still beading

)
I use it with every wash. Wasn’t aware I wasn’t supposed to apparently. Lol.
I love that stuff.

Do you think they’ll fit the FLEX light?

They have two sizes. I am not sure what size that Flex light is.

Diffuse your SCANGRIP work lights

Diffuse your light with the SCANGRIP Diffuser

Does not "need" a top coat. It's already a super slick product. IMO it seems to be formulated to fight waterspots, etc. like Gliss already. I plan on putting it on my wife's new vehicle over top of Cquartz UK as it's compatible. I'll keep you posted. My bottle is in-route so they say.
