What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

**UncleDavy** · 11-23-2019, 05:00 PM

The truck got a full paint correction with HD Cut and microfiber pads on my Griots GG6. Then it was followed up with HD Polish+ and white LC pads. It was finished with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant applied with the Griots G3.
The first picture is the mess that was made by a new clay mitt. HD took care of that. I am pleased with the final results. Now we are ready for winter.

We're about to go into Stage 2 water restrictions, so I thought I'd give my FJ Cruiser a proper wash before they come into force. Picked up some Mothers CMX at 25% off yesterday. It was between the CMX and the Meguiars, and since the Meguiars has to be hosed off, and we can't use hoses under Stage 2 restrictions, CMX it was. Applied while it was still wet, and buffed off easy after that, very happy with the gloss, we'll see how the longevity goes over a Sydney summer.

Dave.

Just curious what clay mitt it was that caused the issue?

I rinseless washed the SS using Adam’s Rinseless Wash, WARM water and a bucket full of MF towels. I sprayed each panel first for a presoak. Wheels were cleaned with the same wash solution. After I took the pics I put Adam’s Tire Shine on the tires.

It was a brand new Blackfire clay mitt. I used it on glass first as per the directions but I guess that it did not remove the coating. Fortunately I only did the one panel with the mitt. I used clay on the rest of the truck.

I one bucket washed the wife’s Beast using Opti-Coat M-Wash, warm water and many wash mitts. I foamed the Beast first using my large iK sprayer. While the foam was doing its thing the wheels got cleaned with an old MF mitt and a boars hair brush. When they were dried later I applied Meguiar’s Fast Finish to the wheels and McKee’s SiO2 Tire Shine to the tires. I rinsed the Beast then refoamed and got to cleaning. I rinsed the Beast and noticed it sheeted water likes crazy. I happened to have left a bottle of CarPro Reload in the laundry room so I saved myself a trip to the basement and spritzed the finish with it as a drying aid.

BTW: ALL chemicals are now in the basement.
