What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

The Buick got a waterless wash with Wolfgang Uber then a treatment of Beadmaker. The windshield is already coated with Griots glass sealant and it was cleaned with Ceramic Glass cleaner.

It went on easy and it wiped off streak free. I used the Griots PFM crinkle glass towels.

Sounds like a winner but then again it is Griot's Garage

Just finished up coating this 2022 BMW X7 xDrive40i with Artdeshine Ceramic Metal Oxide.

My first 2022!

That BMW is reflective! Nice work. Love that garage/shop setup.

Went over to my friend’s house and taught him how to take care of his new 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L. He usually purchases used cars but with the crazy used car market, they went for a new one and wants to keep it looking good.

So I taught him how to do a rinseless wash with McKee’s N-914 as well as clean the wheels and tires. Tires were dressed with Gyeon Tire Express. Then we put on Griot’s Ceramic 3-in-1 since so many on here recommend it for decent protection while being easy to apply. Then we cleaned the leather with Connolly Hide Care and a Sonax Leather brush. The rest of the interior was cleaned with P&S Xpress Interior Cleaner. Finally, we protected all interior surfaces with Pinnacle Leather and Vinyl Coating. Damn my shoulders were sore. The before and after photos don’t show much difference but the wheels shine well and tires look good. And I have an appreciative friend that now has some knowledge and tools to clean his vehicle without swirling it up.

Maintenance wash on my old-mans Ranger today, and the first detail on my new floor.

Was nice to be working free from puddles of water.

In terms of the exterior, nothing special today, it just needed a good clean! I did use some Gtechniq W8 to remove baked on bugs and dried with the help of OG Drying Aid.

Onto the interior, and with the rubber mats removed, I wanted to try a technique I spotted on the Rag Company Youtube channel about using P&S Paint Gloss as a vacuum aid, along with the Fur-Eel vac attachment.

Paint Gloss is usually reserved for exterior detailing, but here it can be used as a anti-static agent to speed up the vacuum process. As mentioned in the video, only a few light sprays is required before vacuuming as normal. I feel like this reduced the repeated motions to remove the debris stuck to the carpet.

Happily, my detailing seat moves over the Ribtrax with ease.
