    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?



    I could have and should have put the car in the garage and taken the truck but I thought air drying might work

    Oh well

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

    Funny you should mention that

    It was actually the Queen that bought that truck

    But now with her double knee replacement she has to have a folding step to get up in it

    That’s why we shipped the Lexus over here

    In her own words…

    “It’s perfect butt height”

    So yeah, it is definitely the preferred ride

    I was honestly concerned about it being too flashy and showy for Molokai but there is a definite uptick in the newer nicer car scene here

    Tesla’s, Beemers, Minis, Mercedes, etc

    I don’t feel like I am showing off which is a good thing

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

    About two weeks ago I made the mistake of watching a YT video from Chemical Guys. Now every time I go to YT I'm plagued by suggestions to watch more CG videos on how to half-ass everything. Today I finally had enough & currently looking into how I can block certain channels on there..

    I finally got my second shelf unit and box of totes from Amazon after the first order disappeared en route

    One tote had a small crack I fixed with Goop

    My corner of the garage is about done now

    I just have one large tote of overflow microfiber but it’s spares so now I can grab whatever I need without having to rummage around

    I even got the side wall cleared so I have enough space to wash the car inside

    Love it!!

    I am a big fan of those clear totes. IMO, it is way better to be able to actually see the contents, vs. having solid colored totes with labels.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Thanks

    Sadly there is some wasted space in the shelves

    It’s hard to get anyone to ship totes here and I really needed some about half again as big to utilize space the best

    Some towels are crammed in pretty tight but it is what it is

    I may order 1 more box of 4 and use 2 and give the rest to the boss because I kind of started out stealing some of hers “just to see how they work”

    Nicely done!

    Must have been the day for microfibre sorting.

    I got some new utility towels delivered this week, meaning a bit of a re-organisation of the cabinet.
