What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[Uncbrs]

I didn't completely finish the last cleaning due to the fact the insects and road grime from the road trip in July was more than expected for a Monday night. Took time yesterday to do it right.

I used 3D Pre-Soak
TWHS Wheel and Iron remover
Used a fine grade clay towel
Pinnacle Black Onyx on tires
Pinnacle Twins on glass
Griot's 3-in-1 on the wheels for a little protection

I finished it all with a series of M & K products from a paint cleaner to high gloss sealant and wax. Really have to look for imperfections that need machine polished away on this white so I didn't go that far. (If I can't see them with my 90 degree naked eye head tilt, we'll assume they're not there ). The wax has a nice gloss/wet look but hard to capture that on the white in pictures.

I'm thinking I have both vehicles in a good spot until I throw some PA Viking on them for the winter... but I say this knowing full well I've got deliveries of stuff enroute and next weekend is a new weekend

I’m torn on the looks of the C8 but that color looks gorgeous. And it looks like it was tailor made for your amazing shop. Great job.

Nice work, although id take any of your vehicles in that awesome shop of yours over any corvette any day!

It is that time again to take care of the headlights since I last polished them 2 years ago or so. Did mine last night but no time for pictures. Here are some pictures of me polishing my son’s Prius headlights. Need to take care of my wife’s van next.

I consider cleaning up the detailing cave as detailing related

Removed the old vacuum and hid the new one. Hung up my new Flex Banner to help "represent" Thanks again to Chris for stopping by.

Full two-day detail as I’m on vacation this week.

Washed with HW, then Griot’s synthetic clay disc.

Polished with my G9 with LC Orange flat pads. Collinite 476S on the paint, McKee’s plastic trim restore on the trim, and Griot’s 3-in-1 on the wheels. DG 253 on the tires.

Interior got a 303 wipe down, all door seals got a Gummi Pfledge treatment, and the WeatherTech’s got scrubbed with HW, then a Griot’s Back Satin treatment.

I love how the Black Satin makes them look.

Beer time!!
