    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    All my Christmas's wishes came true, I managed to do some detailing today.

    And before I get shot down for abandoning my family, the Christmas day detailing of my sister's car is a tradition that brings us together. And after the gorging session that is Christmas lunch is over, one does need to burn off a bit the excess energy with some exercise, and I count detailing as exercise. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    And I was champing at the bit to put my new sink into action.



    I usually hate the clean up at the end of a detailing session. In my professional life as a gardener, I am often bending down or on my knees to trim or pull weeds ect, something that is hard on the body at times. The sink made it so easy to rinse my brushes and clean out the buckets without putting further burden on my body.



    Wishing all my online mates a happy Christmas.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    No detailing for me today, but I have lined up my brother's two Mitsubishi Outlanders. Even though we all agreed to only buy presents for the kids this year, I knew he'd be sneaky and get me something. So I created two detailing coupons for him, both Outlanders are less than a year old, one red, the other white, both metallic. I win on so many levels, I got a cool book, and I finally get my hands on his cars to put some protection on them, and he feels bad because he only got me a book. Pics will follow when I get hold of them.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I went to the Boxing Day sale at Autobarn, 25% off everything today. I realized I was almost out of 303 Aerospace protectant the other day, it's my favourite for tyres. I really don't like the ultra glossy look. I also bought some new applicators from Bowden's, there called "All Sorts", as they look like giant lollies.

    I was watching the cricket in the garage this afternoon, Australia V India, so I decided to try them out on the Qashqai, I hadn't treat the external trim for a while, it's been in the garage for a while now, so I didn't think it would be too bad, the half and half shot shows how wrong I was. The previous trim coating was Autoglym Bumper Trim spray.

    Nice work, that blue is so nice.

    I like those All Sorts applicators, I have used under a different brand name.

    The SAW in full effect today, starting temp was 26 and ending temp was 32, so my fellow geeks in warm weather like Sizzle Chest and DFB, think about me next time your cleaning your car What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I started with Auto-Fanatic foaming wheel cleaner and 3 of my 4 brushes. The past washes had me skipping the barrel cleaning but that ended today! After knocking that out I turned my attention to the car itself. For the wash today I did a RW using Griot's Garage Brillant Finish Rinseless Wash and 5 edgeless mf towels. I always pre-treat each panel/section using my 1000 ML Kwazzer and the dirt just lifted away and dried w/o a problem, even in the cold, the only frozen product was inside the jams where the bottom of the door is. I finished by drying the tires/wheels. Not sure if I'm going to dress the tires as they look pretty good still but knowing me I probably willWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I snapped some different pics, some show that natrual wonder of water and it being below freezing, some black ice and not the AC/DC album either and some glamour shots....enjoy!

    I've never seen it on the shelf here, they are bringing in more 303 products, but very slowly.

    Well I hope you get it because it's pretty damn good and will last longer than the 303 Aerospace and FWIW I was a beta tester for it before it came to market. It's a thicker product and completely controllable as far as shine goes, I think you'll really like itWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?
