What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Gave the Rogue a major wash for the first time in about 3 plus months. It was trashed. Took about 4 hours and this was all washing and hand detailing. CG Super Suds in my foam gun. Extra time for all the nooks and crannies with small brushes etc to get dirt build up. Dried with Megs waffle weaves. Trim was trashed and WETS is my go to and it didn't disappoint. It did an amazing restoration job. Tires dressed with Duragloss 321 NSD. And this was my test for P&S Beadmaker and it didn't disappoint me. Wow factor. Understanding this vehicle was abused. I can't remember when the last time I washed it was or did anything else to it's exterior. It's a great product that any average person can use and get exceptional results.

My wife came home from grocery shopping at Aldi and told me the turd birds were out in full force and her s*** covered Beast was proof of her statement. Every panel but the tailgate was hit at least once.


McKee’s SiO2 wash went into the iK sprayer and also in the wash bucket. Hit the wheels and tires first with a MF wash pad and tire brush. Rinsed the Beast then foamed again and commenced to washing. I rinsed the Beast then blew it dry. Rain in the forecast tomorrow but at least the bird s*** isn’t etching the paint or piano black trim.

On a side note, I’ve given my Grit Guards to friends and prefer the multiple wash mitts in a bucket system. It’s stiil two buckets but the second bucket is for the soiled MF wash mitts. Don’t know why I didn’t do this when I started using multiple MF towels in a bucket doing rinseless washes but the PBM SS taught me real quick that black hides nothing. I was able to track down micromarring on vertical panels to my wash media and after fixing it with CarPro Essence I’ve seen nothing come back even in full sun.

Yes, I know even this isn’t a foolproof system but if it keeps my detailers eye happy longer than I’m satisfied with the cleaning system change and results.

Wind blowing like crazy, gusts 60+.

Pressure washer rinsed, McKees Xtreme iron remover original formula, IK foam 9 with chemical guys honeydew snow soap and the grey nozzle. 2bm with Gyeon bathe. The rinsed off

Clay with onr and green speedy prep towel.

LSP McKees 10 minute paint sealant

Wifes got Blackfire sio2 yesterday and tonight of Sio2 tire shine from McKees with there foam tire applicator. They work awesome.

Went and rolled wife’s car ahead and added a 2nd coat of McKees Sio2 tire shine. Then decided the trim looked weak so I dressed that with WETS. Now it looks good. You can see the before and after of the trim from the cowling under the hood. It helped a lot. Used a lot as it was thirsty.

Need to do interior this week or weekend. Attachment 65623Attachment 65624Attachment 65625Attachment 65626Attachment 65627Attachment 65628

I don’t know how I went through so many years using just 1 mitt and constantly having to pick up the hose nozzle to rinse it during a wash. The idea finally hit me when I happened to find some knockoff Meguiars Microfiber Wash Mitts @the 99 Cent Store and couldn’t resist buying a couple... Even though I knew they weren’t the same exact quality as the real ones, I couldn’t help but notice what a big difference it made to suddenly have more mitts in my bucket. [I went from 2 to 4]

That’s when I went ahead and bought a bunch of quality mitts and now I have more mitts than a bucket can hold! Lol. [I usually do bucket washes with 12-14 mitts and have at least 4 spares that can’t fit in the bucket]

Got mitts?

^^^^^
That's exactly what I've been doing for years! I use a clean/soapy_water_soaked MF mitt on a panel (or two at most), put the now dirty MF mitt in a bucket of dirty mitts. Pull another clean MF mitt out of the soapy water and go to the next panel. I usually go thru 8-10 mitts per car. They are very cheap and there's no reason to spend time cleaning them while washing the vehicle IMHO. Then they all go into the washing machine, simple.
Years ago I explained my method on this forum and I was surprised how many negative comments I got. Most said it was overkill, which is hard to understand given this whole forum is about overkill to about 99.999% of the population.
