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

    A friend of mine bought a car wash and called me up to do a detailing job he sold to a 2006 Mercedes Benz truck owner.

    Perfect opportunity to try my new Rupes LHR21 Mark 3 (used Flex 3401since 2012) polisher.

    Also tried some P&S Brake Buster for rims and tires, did a pretty good job at 5:1.

    Paired with M110 & M210 gave this one it's glory back topped with Collinite 476s to last through winter.What did you do today, in regards to detailing?-img_20191108_220545-jpgWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?-img_20191109_113312_234-jpg

    Cleaned up the summer set before storing them away.

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

    It was “reset weekend” on the families cars.

    My Acura: Washed, iron-x, lightly clayed using the BF synthetic mitt on the hood, then applied three coats of Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax using DA. Cleaned windows with Invisible Glass and recoated the windows with Pinnacle Glass Coat.

    On the Interior, used GG Interior cleaner on all hard surfaces, then used Black Label Leather Balm on the front seats (back seats were done a couple of months ago, no one sits in them). I must say I’m very impressed with the Black Label Leather Balm, makes the leather feel very niice!

    Only thing left is to strip the OPT Tire Coating on the front two tires and reapply, hopefully next weekend.

    The Wife’s X3: washed, iron-x, full clay using the synthetic mitt, then reapplied Sonax PNS to the entire car! Dressed all of the black plastic trim and tires with Blackfire Tire and Trim Sealant. What a difference between Souveran and PNS, one is super slick and the other is buttery soft!

    Wiped down all of the interior hard surfaces with GG interior cleaner and cleaned windows with Invisible Glass.

    Awesome work, Jay.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    This was the first time I have used a tire cleaner, never thought it was necessary. After using the Gyeon tire cleaner I now understand the role these type of products play. With the tire stripped, dressing was made easier and the quality of the end result better. I have been hobby detailing for 17 years now, but you never stop learning and modifying your technique. Even without having tried other similar products, I liked the ease of use of the Gyeon and could recommend.

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

    Coating was mucked up from to many toppers or road grime so did a maintenance wash.

    Foamed with griots surface wash.
    Bucket wash with reset
    Foamed and wash with McKee’s coating prep soap

    Here’s where I was going to spray with a light APC and iron X and Tar X. Funny thing is it didn’t need it. The McKee’s coating prep removed what ever was gumming up my coating. It was only on lower half of car.

    Washed once more with reset just to make sure it was Uber clean and then topped with Cosmic.

    McKee's 37 Coating Prep Wash is legit. It really seems to remove old sealants and stuff w/o much trouble.

    So here’s the thing most of my car is coated except hood. After final wash I tested beading and it was still their. But much beads laying flatter. I did final reset wash to make sure nothing was on.

    Before:



    After:


    Definetly degraded the coating as water didn’t run off like in first picture but slowly sheeted off. First test I gotta say this stuff worked. Will now use this once every 2-4 months as coating maintenance wash



    Sorry forgot to show water running off before. Didn’t apply cosmic to hood as I will test Fenylab pure rinseless on it before applying a 50/50 cancoat moonlight
