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

    *** Continuation of post # 9135 ***

    This morning I finished the masking, ran out to pick up the base coat, and got the base coat applied. It's ready for clear but I'm doing this in my driveway and the wind picked up to the point that it's a little too risky to spray the clear. I'll do the clear later this evening or tomorrow morning. It's usually pretty calm in the morning.


    Ready for the base coat

    Wow, in all my years I had never once heard that

    I can’t believe I haven’t screwed some up by now

    I new in my heart not to do it because i even said to the detailing store (will it cause the haze because side mirrors are sensitive) answer from them NO you will be ok!

    And that was from a detailer it's a question they have on thier website that you can ask
    maybe i should send them the invoice....

    I would certainly let these people know, if only to educate them on what the product can potentially do.

Gyeon worked well but I wasn't blown away by it either. Better options for the $.
    I don't rate Gyeon Tire Cleaner, just did not achieve the results I was expecting.
