What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Removed the rubber mats and cleaned them, vacuumed the floors, and gave the plastic floors a thorough clean. The mark in the middle of the floor on the driver's side is where my heel, and the previous owners, is wearing through. You can't see it when I put the mats back in.

Also cleaned some baked on bug guts off the windscreen.

Meguiar’s 105 and 205. I tried applying with microfiber cloth but that didn’t do much for the scratches. Next I used a 3M ultrafine sanding pad which pretty much took care of the scratches. The challenge in trying to work in such a confined area.
I then used a Dremel mandrel and polishing tip and the 105 and 205. Because it’s such a small area the key was to lock the door so I could hold the handle out and have more room to work. Then I finished with a microfiber cloth, 205 and two fingers.

So followed up with a Frothe waterless and then applied Griots ceramic 3-1. Should hold me till spring.

That Camaro gives me a tingling sensation The white and black contrast really works. I think I saw in another thread it's procharged? I had a chance to drive a stock one and was very impressed.

Took advantage of the odd 52 degree weather and did a maint wash to be rid off all the salt dust and residue. I use WG SiO2 Coating Wash. I have a turbo and there can tend to be a bit more "soot" on the back of the car. During the summer season didnt have issues washing it off. Given whatever I went through it did not wash cleanly off this time.

I did use Megs Gold Class as the next step and it wiped right off. Not sure what that was about and was puzzling to me as I didn't change my soap/water ratio (3oz to 4 gallons). Maybe the WG SiO2 wash is temp sensitive?

Spent 3 hours prepping for my engine bay detail tomorrow. Removed battery and cleaned and while I had it out I thought this was an opportune time to clean the battery post and terminals. I also gathered the tools and products I thought necessary to complete the job. I also cleaned and sealed all areas I thought were critical and could cause a problem if not protected. I put a tarp covered with a moving blanket underneath the area I will be cleaning so the garage floor will still be clean when I finish. I’ve already detailed underneath the hood and it was just as nasty as the engine bay.

I acquired 2 detailing products today:

1. Auto GLYM tyre gel. After watching the latest Forensic Detailing episode I bought this product because it won the competition, so I decided to buy and try it out, well, when I can

2. No Mess tire dressing applicators. Now I have one of these for each of my TWELVE tire dressing products (except TW Endura tire coating because it ruins the applicator due to hardening) These also keep things neat and don't allow for cross contamination, yep, it's over the top but that's me, LOL
