What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

**Klasse Act** · 06-04-2021, 07:15 AM

First off last night I applied another coat of Feynlab Black Velvet "just because", I did use Gyeon Tire cleaner sprayed into a mf towel for a wipedown first.

It sprinkled overnight so before heading to work I wiped the car down with Beadmaker while it was wet. Funny thing is I go back inside to top off my bottle only to discover I used up my gallon already. At this point I've decided to use my freshly made gallon of FrankenDetailer v 1.0 before buying another gallon of Beadmaker.

Because it's going to be in the low 90's today I decided to wash the ES early. It's been a couple days so it was dusty/little bit of pollen, so pretty straight forward. Started with the tires/wheels and Brake Buster, skipping the tires as I applied another coat of Feynlab Black Velvet 2 days ago. After rinsing down the rims it was time for the carwash.

This time around I grabbed Griot's Garage Brillant Shine rinseless wash, it's been a while. I also decided to use my 350 GSM Eagle edgeless microfiber towels for the GD method. I've never used anything but 500 GSM edgeless microfiber towels for this and I must say they worked great, going to see how they do on a WW next time around. Dried the car with a pair of Griot's Garage PFM's and Adam's waffle weave glass towel on the windows.

To finish things up I tried Adam's leather interior spray and Adam's undercarriage spray for my wheelwells. I finished up spraying some leftover RW into a seperate mf towel and simply wiped my tires.

Running a load of mf towels right now and it's time for a shower because even though I finished up before 8 a.m. it's 75 degrees and the humidity is "starting" to creep up

A shout out to my Texas neighbors.

I did like the griots Black shine. Definitely dried to the touch which I liked. I applied, then after 1 minute wiped. Tires did come out a little glossier than I liked but the wifed loved it.

I did a pre-sale detail on this Hyundai i30 (Elantra Sport) today.

The cars owner is one of my boss's. (For those who find it a challenge dealing with one boss, well I have three! Navigating that minefield is well, lets say, has it's plus's and minus's. )

The owner is NOT a car guy and definitely finds my detailing proclivities frankly confusing. The car has about 27,000 miles on it and I dare say there are parts of this vehicle that have never been cleaned in that time.

Used Brake Buster straight up to cut through 5 years of neglect.

Note that I still managed to get in some Ford branding,

All done and now ready for sale.

The owner needs to invest in YOU on their next ride....along with some WeatherTechs

I get they we are picky about our car's appearance and upkeep, but for the life of me, I just don't see how (usually?) otherwise clean/neat/organized people would choose to drive cars that have so much dirt/debris on the floors and a messy/dirty interior.

Engines cleaned and "detailed" (detailing product na on AG) the Crosstrek yesterday and the CX-5's a month ago. Hopefully when I go in for for the first service tomorrow on the Crosstrek, the techs may be a little more "caring" given that the car belongs to someone who does "care." Also did a WW on the CX-5 with Ultima WW. Not the best pic, but it works well.
