What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Have been cleaning up the interior on the Kia cee'd SW. Waiting too long as useally to do this LOL. But the Ultima Interior Guard Plus has done a great job on keeping the dirt not to get so hard bonded to the fabric seats and the carpets and the rest of the interior. So tomorrow I will be doing it again with the UIGP and protect it.

I rinseless washed the SS using Opticoat No Rinse, big red sponge and two buckets. Beading and sheeting from TWIS&S is still going strong as I discovered when doing a pre-soak.

Still debating which paint coating to put on it in the near future; McKee’s, UK 3.0, Optimum GlossCoat or Adam’s...or put it on my next NON black vehicle...

Oh yeah...the replacement, almost forgot about that. The last clue was, well, "not much help", how about another one? Does it make 707 hp and have AWD

Opticoat No Rinse is that a SiO2 rinseless wash?

I would go with the solid Carpro CQUK 3.0. And if you want to have a high slickness and higher water behavior from it. Use their top coating Gliss. Something that also ad to the gloss and some months extra longevity from it is to finishing with Essence. I would use their Glosspad or a finishing polish pad to get it almost like jeweling polish step. Some use it with great results on an ordinary polishing pad too.

So while the wife and little one are away this afternoon and after I watched Liverpool win their 15th straight PL game, I decided to do a foam wash/rinse/dry since it was only dusty, at best, since last Wednesdays wash.

For the foam I did a mix of Hydrosilex silica soap, left over in the IK Foam 9 and some AutoBrite Magifoam, worked great! Before doing this though I changed out the little foam filter and swapped out the orange tip for the gray one. With it being full I decided to pump it up till the little valve showed green, usually I haven't done this but this time I did and the cycle lasted longer and netted even better foaming! I also finished up the P&S Brake Buster i had in the IK Foam Pro2 on the tires and wheels and let dwell. Rinsing everything down with the Worx hydroshot showed my paint coating "lite" topped with Beadmaker is doing amazingly, billions of beads (just guessing, LOL) Finished drying it off with the Sucker and Griot's Garage PFM towel, designated mf towel for the jams, engine bay and tires and wheels. Speaking of tires and wheels...the wheels get swapped out this Thursday, stay "tuned"

You sure? That particular paint was like a weird sort of off white... I used to think of it as “egg shell white”. But then again those were the days when I didn’t know anything about polishing paint so for all I know it could’ve been polished to a proper bright white.

That day of those pictures was the very 1st time in my life that I ever attempted to “wax” my car. I bought a can of Mothers California Gold Paste Cleaner Wax and went to town by hand. I worked as arse off and didn’t make a squats worth of difference.

lol.
