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

    So today is the 16th anniversary of the passing of my Dad and knowing how nice he was to people I decided to do something nice, well, 2 things.

    First I washed my g/f's Cruze. Used Bilt-Hamber Auto-foam as a pre-wash and cleaned the tires w/ 303 Tire and Rubber cleaner and Bilt-Hamber Surfex @3:1 ratio for the rims, all 4 brushes used. I then used CarPro Reset for the 2BM wash. To finish up I used 303 Touchless Sealant on the paint for some additional protection.

    I then looked at my neighbors Lexus, the wheels and tires were trashed, time for the HD products. I grabbed CarPro Retyre and Bilt-Hamber Korrosol for the rims. I did 3 cycles on the front wheels and 2 cleanings on the front tires, even when it air dried I could still see brown but I was running out of time. I applied 303 Touchless Sealant to those wheels as well. The owner came out and was almost in tears that I did this for her, she thanked me like a dozen times. I told her I'd feel better if you took it through the good carwash today, so hopefully she does just that.

    Somewhere my Dad is smilingWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Finished the exterior of my truck...

    Polished with M210, coated with 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating, and finished 24 hours later with Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax to provide some slickness that the 303 lacks...

    I lied yesterday when I said that I finished the exterior of my truck. Sort of.

    I had to finish up the wheels and tires this morning.

    Now I'm done!

    Did a quick detail on the F150. Should be the last time I wash her. She goes to the dealership tomorrow for trade in on my new F250 that finally showed up after 8 months on order

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

    So since I had Covid I ‘ve lost a ton of stamina and slowly coming back. What’s funny is I didn’t have much in the way of symptoms but just the feeling of being exhausted.

    Anyways finally coming back so hope to get my car coated soon, we’ll see.

    1st time I did tires, wash and apply something in same day in a while. Well washed my car yesterday but washed Rav4 today and did tires on both and added LSP to Camaro.

    Anyways,

    Pretreated with Ammo Frothe and rinseless’d with Feynlab Pure. Did panel by panel. Dried with a PFM. Really liking this process and combo.

    Did tires with TW Graphene Acrylic tire coating a couple weeks ago and tires were still looking good after a scrub with BB. Suprised. Still added a coat as the looked black but didn’t have that freshly applied sheen.

    Finish the paint off with a coat of TacSystems Shinee wax followed by a coat of DreamMaker. Pretty tired after the Shinee wax but let it cure for a couple hours and I was good.

    Gloss was off the charts!

    Car looks great. Glad you’re starting to feel better. Frothe as a pretreat, hadn’t thought of that, partially because I haven’t been able to get it to foam evenly very well.
