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

    Did a pretty intensive detail on the Toyota Lancruiser today.











    This beast is very much utilized to the fullest of it's abilities and is fitted with a bull bar, winch, roof racks, long range tanks, roll out draws and a swinging rear spare wheel. Owned by one of my gardening clients, it has used the car for various outback travels and with 130,000 km on it, it feels brand new.

    For a change of routine, I started by vacuuming the interior to get that time consuming job out of the way before staring on the exterior. As you can imagine, the amount of hidden dust on this thing was immense. Pressure rinsing took a very long time, as did getting the door jambs up to spec.

    The finished result of several hours of detailing -







    Now, I'm off to clean my driveway..........

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

    Try to add some pics tomorrow but finished off detail with interior of mothers Rav4.

    Vacuumed

    Cleaned rubber floor mats with LATA (thanks [mention]Eldorado2k [/mention])

    Cleaned interior panels, dash and leather seats with P&S Xpress interior cleaner and leather shoe brush.
    1st P&S product i think lived up to the hype.

    Coated dash and panels with PBL Leather &Vinyl coating. Thanks [mention]Mike Phillips [/mention]

    Topped it with 303 just cuz i’ve bought and never used. Not a fan. Didn’t like after applying i had to buff. Prefer to apply and be done. Not worth the effort when PBL L&V is so much more of an impressive product.

    Coated with Gyeon Leathershield. Really like this if it last like results [mention]The Guz [/mention] got. Easy to apply like a sealant. No buffing off. Made seats look alot better.

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

    After having polished the driver side of my wife’s earlier in the week, today I used griot’s panel wipe (employing Mike’s wet/inspection pass method). I then applied CQUARTZ Lite to the drivers side.

    Not a whole lot. I gave the truck a quick wash, cleaned the bugs off of the wife's car and put away a bunch of my detail supplies and polishers.

    No pics, but I vacuumed the interior of the FJ, then treated the vast amount of plastic inside with 303 Aerospace Protectant. I do have rubber mats, but the plastic floor underneath still gets pretty dirty, after looking on the shelf for something to wipe it down with, I decided on spraying it with some ONR, cleaned well, and didn't leave it slippery.
