    Tried out Turtle Wax's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer after a short trip with family this afternoon.
    Not bad. Took off the light dirt without scratching.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    [QUOTE=Klasse Act;1701187]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

    Rog....I thought about you today when I braved our 75-76 degree weather today to wash the car...heck I almost took off my shirt but I didn’t want to cause a traffic jam in front of my house...you know what it’s like!!

    Washed with Pinnacle Body Works with multiple MF towels, dried with GG PFM (what an awesome towel), hit the wheels with Megs D146, and WETS for the tires. Afterwards I hit it WG Detail Spritz to give it a little extra pop!

    I hit the interior with DP Total Interior Cleaner for all of the surfaces and Crystal Mist for the center console, finally stopped by swirl-o-matic car wash and “borrowed” their vacuum.

    I read the great forum here to decide what to buy before the sale is over tonight!

    speaking of 303 products...

    this works well in the windshield wiper reservoir (better than anything that i have used in it previously). drop one tablet in a brand new gallon of distilled water and it completely dissolves in around 10 minutes (i usually just leave it till the next day). you can pour some into an empty spray bottle and you'll have some glass cleaner. it's safe, non-toxic with no harmful chemicals, and can even be used on tinted windows as well...

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

    Did some light correction on the trunk and rear bumper of my car, used turtle wax's new "one and done" correction fluid with 3.5 inch lake country orange flats.

    Thoroughly impressed with the one and done product. Before and after pics aren't the greatest due to poor lighting, but I think you get the idea.

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

    The blue Falcon received some love today.

    While photographing well, there were some love marks and an accumulation of fine scratches, I can't remember the last time I polished her.

    First up, I washed the car with a strip soap, dried the car with my blower then wiped down with Eraser.







    Taped and ready for action.





    I then hit the paint with Scholl S20 Black and my new 3 and 5 inch polishers that I received for my birthday yesterday.
    (Mods, remove these images if I'm not allowed to post this brand on here.)



    Polished, I turned to an old friend in the form of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant for protection. I had forgotten how excellent this stuff is!





    Pretty happy with the results. Pictured here in addition to the above, the headlights, badges and window surrounds were treated with CarPro Reload. The glass, interior, engine bay and wheels/tyres all attended to as well.









    Not bad for a twelve and half year old car.

    Definitely one of the better looking Falcons, regardless of its age, and I think those were just about my favourite wheels that Ford ever put on a Falcon.

    These wheels were optional on early FG's, so glad I ticked that box and they look better that the optional 19's. They are also a breeze to clean.



    The machined face makes them shimmer, both at speed and a standstill.
