    I've had a few clients contact me about when I'm opening my detail "shop" for the season...

    Looks like spring is going to be busy!

    Those plaid seats are awesome!

    If you’re not tired of my Jeep, I washed it for the first time in 32 days. No before pics because it just had dust on it, hardly any mud at all. We’ve had a very dry March.

    I normally don’t dress the tires on it, but just scrub them clean. Well, after dinner I was outside and decided to dress the 4 that touch the ground since I had already done the spare tire. Now I remember why I hate dressing them...sidewalls have too much going on. But I used duragloss 253. After 10 minutes I wiped any excess off, also in hopes to keep them more of a matte finish. Tires were t dressed in the full vehicle picture.

    100% agree, shiny black looks silly on big off road tires. I usually don't dress mine at all, but I had to the last time due a weird blue residue left where the mud came into contact with the rubber.

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

    Autumn is my favorite season of all, and today was PERFECT for detailing.

    Sitting in the garage for over a month without a cover, the Jag needed some love.



    Ranger was next, having been used to remove a large load of garden waste this morning, I feel like I missed an opportunity to show that I do get it dirty. The tray was foamed and scrubbed, I also topped up on Hydr02.



    Clean again, the Ranger and XR6 swapped places for the weekend.

    Many of the GTI's including the current MK7 have had plaid seats.

    The return of the FNW!

    That ECH2O vs. thread is back in my head so I used ECH2O as a WW but it's been diluted properly. I'll say it works better when your sections are smaller because when it dries it requires a buff. That buff is fine because the Gloss and Slickness is A W E S O M EWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    The car was dirty as F and it didn't it even rain! Before I started I looked at the roof and I swear I saw a yellowish tint so yes, the pollen is here but upon wiping the bottom it was BLACKWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    The car came out great, I mean REAL great and then it was time to clean the tires and rims. For this I grabbed the Auto-Fanatic foaming wheel cleaner and Alien Kleen for the wells.
