Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Snagged these off a buddys dad a while ago. He got rid of the car that these went on in the summers. Came off a cadillac DTS. Never seen winter. I found some factory used buick center caps and swapped out the cadillac ones. I cleaned them up finally and coated them with some left over ADS quartz i had in the fridge.
Soon to be mounted up on the buick for the new summer wheels. My factory buick wheels are overall in decent shape but showing some wear. These outta give it a nice enhancement.
Im sure eldo will disaprove running cadillac wheels on a non cadillac car lol
Before and after.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Working on getting the car ready for a trip on Thursday
The rear needed deep de-furring and wiping down
I need some mat dressing for sure
I am geared up for a wash this evening if the weather cooperates

I’ve tried a lot of matte dressings for my huskies. Best longevity and evenness I got was from a product’s off use. In Adam’s winter prep video they used there graphene spray coating for exterior on Matt’s. Decided to try and it worked great. Good for exterior trim too.
Better than a. Sealant on paint but not coating like.

I tried Perl at 3:1 and it didn’t do anything, but I think part of that is these Lexus factory mats, especially the rear one, have some ungodly strong mold release or something that’s preventing anything from getting a grip on the material
I have washed the fronts a couple of times but just using car shampoo and I have never washed the rear
I’ve have had a cargo liner in there since almost day 1
I need to try some straight up APC and see what it does to break down whatever is on the surface
I think I can get that Adams product you mentioned locally
I’ll give it a whirl
Thanks

They have another I just grabbed randomly to try along with the reformulated Strip Wash. Not sure if it's newer or not but it was my BOGO freebie:

I have read a number of times that their rubber cleaner with their conditioner is a winning combo
Worth a try

Another that I've been impressed with is from Technicians Choice - Black Fusion... this is the same company that makes the better known Ceramic Detail Spray.
It's a bit harder to source (Amazon is easiest) but one coat has done quite well for 6 months now.

McKee's Floor Mat Cleaner is well worth looking at. Previous to that, I had been using APC with limited results, but the McKee's teamed with the DF Tire Brush is an excellent combo.
For dressing, I have/had been using KCx GUF, which is an anti-slip rubber dressing. Lately though, I've been really liking P&S Swift for rubber floor mats. This stuff has some cleaning ability on its own, but the drawcard here is the very mild amount of dressing it has, so it subtly enhances without being a slip hazard. Unlike GUF which smells like IPA, Swift has a delightful scent. I actually use Swift to refresh rubber mats between more serious cleaning by simply vacuuming, then soaking down with Swift and scrub with a towel.
