Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
No time last night for that wash so I did it this morning, mid-morning after we put our little one down for a nap.
I used the CG's Glossworkz for the pre-wash but it doubled as the actual wash. I foamed, let it dwell, rinsed and.....and then sprayed Griot's Garage Poly Gloss on the car, it's been staring at me for weeks as I reach for Beadmaker, gotta keep everyone happy
Obviously I've used the Griot's Garage Poly Gloss before but the stuff is just amazing. Using my 1.5 IK foamer it dispenses the product out properly, what an experience when used together. Once it's on there it begins to cling itself to the paint, hard to describe. During the application and dwell time you take in the smell, oh the smell...
Upon rinsing it off the beading is crazy, the smell is still there too, I can still smell it as I sit here next to the car and do this post. The Sucker and Griot's Garage waffle weave towel (for the glass) make short work of drying the car, like I said, GREAT EXPERIENCE

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Did a prep wipe with Gyeon prep on the wife’s ride. Man that stuff smells so good. Wow see.
Then got out IGL Premier. Put it on the entire car minus some of the hood. Took closer to 5 min to flash/haze as they say before I could buff off. Temps are low and no heat in the garage. Maybe 40’s-50’s in there. Anyways it went on well and gloss levels are up. Going to do another coat in a bit.
Put IGL on the right side of hood, straight down from washer fluid nozzle.
Put beadmaker in the center between the washer fluid nozzles. Not impressed with my bottle. It leaked more out than it sprayed. Smells damn amazing though. Definitely does what it says and gets the slickness up.
Black fire sio2 spray on the right side and fender top from left of washer nozzle. Same as IGL as far as application. It’s red and smell isn’t great but it’s not iron remover either. For you sensitive folks you may want a mask.
Will see how these 3 do against one another. I think it will be IGL, BF sio2, beadmaker in that order as far as durability. Good thing I have lots of cars to play with
Thanks and enjoy.
Oh and merry Christmas from Casper, WY

Sorry about your sprayer, cheap ones are hit or miss. Easy fix, transfer another sprayer in the bottle or just switch to a new bottle/sprayer

Welcome to the club!
You'll never need to swap out to the green tip/hose, trust me. It comes with the gray one but the orange one works even better!

I cleaned my floor mats with McKee's 37 floor mat rejuvenator. The camera flash made them look a bit "washed out". I love this product. Thanks Nick!

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Assembled the Xmas gifts. Got a IK foam 9 all put together and swapped to the orange office tube at KA recommendation.
Also built my Speed master tool rack. Pretty simple and should serve me well.
Then picked up the garage and organized the detailing stuff. Man I need to build some shelving and get a cabinet for my stuff. Can’t wait for warmer weather to be able to have the door open and detailing more frequent

IGL Ecocoat Premier will outlast BF by a wide margin. BF lasted me 2 weeks and IGL is still going after 4 months!

I splurged on IGL Premier and plan on applying it come spring, looking forward to seeing how this "new to us" product line works out!
