What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Finally finished their second car and as soon as I pull it into the garage to finish up the interior, a bird flies in and craps on it. I swear birds have a radar for clean cars!

They loved it and dropped off their third and final car. Lol

The ES was just 2 days dusty/pollen dusted, so a simple foam gun dwell was all that was needed. For the soap I reached for "Eve's better half" graphene carwash. I laid down a good first layer and let dwell while I hit the tires/wheels with it, usual brushes used. I then used the remaining soap and foamed down the car again, let dwell and rinsed away. The beading is great between having laid down the new Gyeon Wax 2 weeks ago, "Eve's better half" spray graphene coating last weekend and tonight their graphene infused carwash soap. I decided on a drying aid...yep, you guessed it, "Eve's better half" got the call again, their detail spray. I was tempted but didn't bite the

though, LOL!

Tomorrow morning the tires get topped up...yep

Sounds like a job for the Mythbusters, a large open field of cars, some super glossy, some just regular washed, and others left dirty. All different colours of course. I'd watch that episode.

Finally got round to washing the mud off from Tuesday, used Bowden's Snow Job first, then used the pressure washer to rinse off, for what seemed like ages, so much mud underneath, next was a 2 bucket wash with Mother's California Gold, and finally dried with Bowden's After Glow. It then took me another 30 minutes to clean the driveway.

Finished the couple's 3rd and final vehicle. He wanted some added gloss so I polished it with Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Black Polish and it removed the oxidation, but only about 65% of the swirls. The paint was harder than Paul's head

!

The customer was extatic with the result. The Ceramic Polish was ok, didn’t correct much and wasn't the easiest to remove. I will stick to Griots Garage polishes and Sonax Perfect Finish.

A clay mitt and light polish on the hood and passenger doors of the rental car. Then tested Griot's ceramic 3 in 1 on the hood and Collinite 845 on the doors.

The neighbors found out and offered up their cars for me to use in the future.
