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

    Did this in conjunction with Peck Detailing out of Pontiac, MI. I did the driver side, and he did the passanger.

    We were on location at Alternative Racing, where the have what I believe is called a "dynometer". They strap the car to the ground, and rev the drive wheels on a roller, hooked up to a bunch of meters and whatnot.

    Today we did one of many cars belonging to the owner.

    What was great is that one of my other clients showed up, Bruce Kimmer, owner of Heads Up Racing in Mt. Clemens, MI. He owns the camaro in my avatar. It was very kind of him to relay a positive message concerning my work to my friend's client! It was also great to see a familiar, friendly face.

    Didn't have time for a bunch of great pics, we set up, and put our noses to the grindstone.

    Flat black paint is always a joy to work on, nevermind how finicky! I started with Rupes UHS on the Duetto and Mini, but switched to Zephir/Blue microfiber to hurry up, and just eat the swirls up. Finished with Keramik/yellow foam, and sealed with Opti-Seal.

    I had a tried a couple combos with the PC, but just felt like I was getting better cut/gloss with the Rupes..

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

    The Sunday that just passed I did a one step correction on a 2010 Camaro SS. Came out very nice! Orange pad with Griots correcting cream and a 21mm polisher. Topped with powerlock + and Meguiars ultimate fast finish on top of that. Optimum tire shine for tire dressing and McKee’s 37 Hydro blue for the wheels.

    I was intending to test a Poorboy's sample Just Jesus sent, but Ed showed up early to pick me up, so I was in a rush to get out the door.

    Cut out the hookers & coke, and prepare the night before. Jeez.

    All Kidding aside, I'm serious about that black. Only a pro can make that look good. That job would scare me, TBH.

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

    I bought some tire stuff applicators from Chem Guys.

    Close in design to the style that came with the TW black endura tire coat kit.

    Not bad, 7 for under 20 to my garage.
    I will say a prayer tonight at bedtime that they hold up better than the crappilicious imitation Cobra gold Jr they sell.
