Of course. I always custom order gloves to match my paint

They brought me something I can really sink my teeth into. Lol.

Now that’s a Caddy.

Exterior today.

Wheels/tires - tuf shine cleaner, Griot's HD wheel cleaner (was going to use Meg Non-acid but the sprayer on the old bottle of Griot's regular wheel cleaner wasnt spraying) and Griot's Surface Prep, then 303 Touchless Sealant on the wheels which I found for 75% off. Also checked the tread depth as I was going around. Got a new dial gauge for that.

Then RW on the car.

Nice. Like that tire gauge.

I did some interior work today. Took the floor mats out to clean them, vacuumed the floor and seats, cleaned the floor with ONR, they are plastic. Then did some work on the roof liner, used Bowden's Fabra Cadabra, it's not perfect, but I didn't want to spend all day on it. It's mainly staining around the sun visors, the side ones more than the front, and some marks left from a couple of rubbish runs. At least it smells nice now

Great job on that headliner Big Dave! Huge improvement.

As an aside, when I was a kid, I was “Little David” because I was the youngest. My mom’s sister married a David. My mom had a brother David and then of course me. I became Big Dave of the family when I grew up. Though I’m only 6’ and 220 (now). Need to lose some pandemic weight though, yeah, pandemic weight.

So the ES was overdue for a wash, legit dirt so gets go!

Started out cleaning the tires with Gyeon Tire cleaner and rims got foamed with Auto-Fanatic foaming wheel cleaner, all 4 brushes called in to duty. Wheelwells sprayed down with Alien Kleen and scrubbed with the old Speed Master and everything rinsed away, lots of BROWN came out of there

Next I pre-washed using the IK Foam Pro 12 using a gallon of leftover Bilt-Hamber Touchless already in there, enough to do the entire ES, including the wheelwells and tires/wheels again, why not. I let it dwell and rinsed away...what a pre-wash this is

For the 2BM I also had leftover TWHS Slip N Slide and a little spray from the hose produced more suds, this stuff is amazing, so much lubricity

Once I was done there I dried the ES off using the large DPC drying towel, a regular Griot's Garage PFM and my mini Master Blaster for the crevices, tires wheels and jams. It was now ready for something new, well...new to me

I decided to try Sonax Ceramic Ultra Slick Detailer and maybe I missed something but this stuff is S L I C K I also noticed addition "pop" as I really looked closely upon wipe off, WOW. Can we talk about their spray bottles, they rival Griot's Garage and that's saying somethingIMO this product rivals Beadmaker but is more expensive but I bet it lasts longer though

For the tires I applied 2x's TWHS spray graphene tire dressing using that make-up applicator (once again thanks for the review Guz) It's so easy and the finish is so even AND your hands stay CLEAN

Finally I took out the WeatherTechs, vac'd out the carpets, re-installed the carpets mats and liberally sprayed CG's Black Frost inside, even the trunk too

Now I have a fresh ES and due to the all day rain yesterday I'd like to think the salt dust has been washed away

What are your thoughts on Gyeon Tire Cleaner?

[Eldorado2k]

Holy $#!t that is a lot of real estate to cover AND its black to top it off!

It’s actually a dark navy blue, but yea basically the same as black and it’s just a step above devastated as it sits. If there’s a diamond beneath this rough it’ll make for 1 hell of a restoration. I’m kind of excited.

Better wear a Hazmat suit when inside of that thing

I thought the same exact thing this morning as I opened up the back door to have a seat inside a limo for the 1st time in my life. Lol.

This is going to be a crazy interior detail… There’s a bunch of champagne glasses so I’ll be in the kitchen washing dishes for crying out loud.

Now that’s a Caddy.

It’s actually a Lincoln.lol.
Ahh man I wish it was a Caddy.

I think it does a very good job! I didn't use a foaming tip sprayer, even though my tires were dirty, but when I scrubbed them with my short brissel brush I got alot of brown foam. I know you said you didn't like CarPro Retyre when using the non-foaming sprayer and I have yet to try it like that but I'll give it a try at some point like that.

Btw you got referenced on the podcast we did yesterday

I was less than impressed with Gyeon Tire Cleaner, just lacked bite in my opinion.

The CarPro Retyre certainly has potential, I just need a chance to try it out as CarPro intended (foaming tip).

When do you expect the episode to air?
