What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

It gets old when they hear we are going on a trip or doing whatever and they say “lucky”

My parents traveled a lot when they retired. Before each trip they would say “We’re off to spend your inheritance!“

No apologies necessary dad… No seriously though, vent away.

We’re not just here for car stuff.

I use to have an aunt who use to give me good money for birthdays, holidays and such.

She came to visit one time when I started doing OK and I paid for every meal, expense and whatever else I could while she was here.

She tried to give me 5k when she left because she was proud of me. I thought about it and told her I didn’t need it. I wanted it but new I’d blow it on some wheels for my car but I didn’t need it.

She made me take it so I put it back in her luggage as I packed the car and took her to the airport.

Funny but I finally learned the value of earning my money.

The chewing out I took when she found the envelope was worth it….

I'm sure I'm going to catch some grief for the following but hear me out

So this past Tuesday I did that massive detail on the EN but noticed some high sports and even some swirls, those had to have happened upon coating removal because I polished out the paint nicely.

I couldn't take it because in the sun I could see EVERYTHING, didn't even wanna drive the EN So this morning I got after it and did the following:

-Cleaned the tires w/CarPro Retyre and rims w/ Brake Buster, all brushes used.

-Pre-wash using Koch Chemie GsF (finished off the bottle) I chose this over my dynamic duo from Bilt-Hamber because of its lower pH. Let dwell and rinsed away.

-While wet I did a Feynlab RW and even pre-treated. Dried each panel right after the cleaning.

-Inspected a couple high spots and used 3D Speed on a fresh cotton applicator pad. This leveled them down w/o applying a significant amount of pressure.

-I then applied a light coat to the entire EN sans the windshield, rear window and roof. Removed with little effort, even sitting on the car for a bit.

A couple points I'd bring up. First off the beading of Gyeon Pure EVO is INCREDIBLE! The paint was very smooth during the RW process and drying. The gloss was VERY noticeable, had a shimmer to it️Next I did apply 3D Speed to a small section on the hood, by hand and it did remove the RIDS I had, so I knew the use of 3D Speed to put my mind at ease, I was really bummed out and couldn't wait any longer️

So the Gyeon Pure EVO cured for 4 days and it's been mid/upper 80's this week and very sunny, so I'm hoping the coating cured "enough" AND I'm hoping this quality AIO didn't hurt the coating much, I mean I applied by hand, didn't press to hard and wiped off easy. Additionally I'll be adding a topper or two or twenty before I go on my trip to the Dragon AND before winter

I feel so much better looking at it now

I’m headed into town in a bit to Lowes and the commissary

I need a couple of spray bottles and some distilled water so I can try out a couple of new to me traffic film products

I’m ashamed





This condo is on a gravel and dirt road and it’s been raining since we got here two weeks ago

Even the presoak and the tire cleaner at the wand wash won’t cut this

I’m going to try the products on an inner lip of the plastic wheel well trim to make sure it’s safe

If it’s good to go I will try both products on one panel at the wand wash and see what happens

I will report back
