    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    While at my local Menard’s getting another LED garage light (5,000 lumens) I stumbled across Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Wax with a $5 rebate. Added to the 11% store rebate I felt I couldn’t pass it up at 8 dollars and change. I plan on using it on the wheels and door shuts leaving CarPro Hydro for the rest of the paint.

    The LED lights are on the sides and dual fluorescent strips are at the front and rear of the garage. The lovely wife says it’s almost too bright, I say bah, it’s never too bright! The fluorescent strips are now hung in the basement adding to the 100w equivalent LED bulbs. Next time I have an extra $40 on hand the garage will get two more LED lights.
    Before:

    After:
    2017 Phantom Black Metallic Chevy SS, automatic, skylight, plus unused wheel in the boot.

    I was in Menards last week and couldn't find any deals on a 5000k shop light. All or most of them are 4000k.

    I opted for Amazon >8, 4ft single daisy chain 6500k for $55.00 for my shadow corners.

    Walmart on the other hand has a 5000 lumen, 5000k shop light for 21 that I almost pulled the trigger on yesterday.
    When I am done I should be around 100,000 lumens give or take 10,000

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

    Had to clean it up before it goes into the bodyshop this Wednesday. Took me an hour and half or double the time for the Abarth, LOL. I did notice some light scratches on the p/s front door, apparently Bambi had some antlers or its hoofs hit the door. I'm going to try and get them out tomorrow.

    Used dpc Revive and it cleaned the car really well, as expected. Griot's Garage foaming tire cleaner REALLY did a great job, very impressive What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I'm sure you know this but strip wash everything and no dressings what so ever...I don't know what dpc products have in it but you want to give the body shop a clean slate
