Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I opened the hood on the '11 Camaro today*... & instantly regretted it. Then I remembered driving about 3 or 4 miles down a High Desert dirt road a couple of weeks ago
An hour of rags (yes, sacrificed a few more of the shop rag quality MF's), assorted squirty stuff, Horrible Fright 1 & 2in bristle brushes, shop vac with various doodads on the business end etc & I have it looking decent again. Even attached one of the small brush doodads intended for sucking PopTart remnants out of your keyboard to get the snarge out of nooks & crannies. Put some shiny stuff on the tires.
It's all tickety boo now.
What it really needed was taking outside, spraying it down under there with *something* & a hose etc. That will happen next time.
*I was at the smog test place, it passed, getting the new '23 tag later from the vending machine at Albertsons supermarket. Have to wait a couple of hours for the computer system to update to say the car passed.
Those who possess real knowledge are rare. Those who can set that knowledge into motion in the physical world are rarer still. The few who possess real knowledge and can set it into motion of their own hands are the rarest of all.

The wife’s Buick got full paint correction finished with a coat of Collinite 476 (thanks Rog). It was easy to apply and easy to remove. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Ran the ES through Delta Sonic for its free wash today after work. Once I got home I applied some Adam's graphene tire dressing and brought in my detailing crates from the trunk...yep, it's that time

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Well that's just great...
Was coming home a couple of hours ago, truck up ahead dropped a bag of cement in the road, car ahead of me nailed it & I drove through a big grey cloud... Glad it wasn't raining

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I'm a person who values some quiet solitude. With the house empty today save for me and the pup, I put my noise cancelling headphones on and blocked out the world. Three cars needed attention today.
After a late night bug squashing crusade, the Jag was first in line today. With a quality sealant on the paint, most of the bugs disappeared after the initial pressure rinse, the rest removed with CarPro Reset.
While I had a flirt with it on Sunday, this was the first real trial of P&S Paint Gloss, used as a Drying Aid on the Jag, Mustang and Ranger today.
I have been using Meguiar's Last Touch for a long time to fill me Quick Detailer needs, however I think I might prefer Paint Gloss better. I only bought a 473ml bottle to trail but I think I'll be ordering a gallon to replace Last Touch. Paint Gloss is marginally cheaper than Last Touch too.
