Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
So it was really, REALLY nice today so I finally got around to showing my buddy Marsen (#PolishBullet) how to do a RW this morning.
I brought over ALOT of towels, washing and drying towels, plus rando mf towels for tires and wheels. I started with a 2BM RW using the DIY Detail RW, I mean I just got it and used it twice yesterday so why not twice today
I showed Marsen how to do the process by doing the roof and windshield, then let him have at it. For the wash media I used my Aqua sponge and he got the hang of it right away. Once done we cleaned out the door jams, tires and wheels. Now what surprised him most was the amount of DIRT in the rinse bucket, even before doing the tires & wheels️He washed the car the day before Thanksgiving but yet the dirt showed up and was washed away.
To finish things off I applied 303 Tire Balm and showed Marsen 3D Bead It Up for a little extra "pop" and protection.
We next turned to his fiancé and her Sorrento hybrid. For this we used the same RW but I showed him the 1BM. I asked him which one he liked better and he said the 2BM because he said it seemed like you did more and it was easier. I told him it's which ever you like better, pointing out that the 1BM is always cleaner as the wash media is always clean but pre-treating is VERY important️
I'm glad I was able to do this for a number of reasons. First we've been trying to do this meet up for a while, so that's been taken care of. Next showing someone a process they've heard about, watched and now believing! Lastly and most importantly is this, Marsen lost his Dad a couple weeks ago and was really gripping, so being able to share my time, knowledge and products to make his day better was AWESOME and he really appreciated it but I told him it's the least I could do

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Finally knocked off about 3-4 weeks of abuse on the truck. Good wash. Engine detail. Interior. Tonneau cover treated. Tires got TW Spray tire coating. And finished with a quick coat TWHS Spray coating. Figured who knows when it will get a bath again. Had the stuff out, so quick wash on the Escape. Rain tomorrow, but it had to get done today. Felt good to be in the driveway, even for a day.

It's soooo worth it if only for a day, couldn't agree more️

Hey Rog..... You have so many damn toppers on that thing that I'll bet it would change the reading on a paint thickness gauge.
Dial it back a notch, will ya???
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Washed the bride's Landy with Meg's gold class (two-bucket method). Finished it off with Turtle Wax 53409 ceramic spray coating. The latter seemed prone to streaking on larger panels, which I suspect was caused by (1) using too much product and/or (2) the sub-50° temp.

It's amazing what adding the amber and med smoke LaminX to the turn signals and back up lights did for car. Removing the E L A N T R A lettering and adding i30 was purely to be different. I've got some more "subtle" touches coming for the spring but one will NOT be so subtle (hopefully I can make it happen), stay "tuned"️
