What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[opie]

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.

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.
