    We'll see how that all plays out across the industry but I've made a tentative plan to buy my last gas guzzler in 2025/2026 to be safe. What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

I appreciate the small amount of protection left behind, although that is not my number one requirement. Both Express and InnerQD add a nice fresh scent to the cabin.

    If I was running a shop, the cost of InnerQD is not viable business choice. For a couple of well maintained cars, InnerQD is nice to have around.
    Would you say it’s better than meg’s?

    I went out this morning when it was still freezing and peeled them off thinking the adhesive would be weaker

    There was minimal sticker residue

    Some Isopropyl took it off

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

    Finished this up today, second year in a row. Pretty much gave it the same full interior/exterior detail as last year except for this year i hit it with a machine.
    Original plan was to just do a quick paint cleanup withsupa beast and 3d aat 505 with lc force white pad...but that yeilded unsatisfatory results. Next 3d aat 502 lc force whitepad...nothin. menz 400 showed minimal improvement with again lc white pad.

    I was attemting to use least agressive pad. But settled on lc force orange pad with 3d aat 502, as it yeilded results i was happy with.since the clear was on the harder side i figured id use one of mike p tricks and really make the hood shine....hit the hood with flex rotary and rupes blue coarse wool pad/3d aat500 b4 the lc orange/502 combo.

    Picked can coat evo as lsp...couldnt wait to try it out for first time.

    Thankyou!! I will give some credit to the owner as he does keep his stuff clean inside and out...so its never thrashed but it was dirty. its always hand washed through out the year but thats all the more it gets...so i wanted to give it some protection that will last hopefully till next year

    I didn’t know P&S Express had an additive that turned purple when iron was present. Always learning something new.
