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

    Was going to drive and pick up my brother and niece from the bus. Had my stepfathers Ford Focus and I have not been maintaining it any good. We have had rain or very humid weather conditions for almost 3 months now with maybe one good weather day per week or so. This has made the interior so wet so it fogs the inside windows a lot. So just had to do a quick glass cleaning before I left. Inside and outside front side windows and windshield. Used Scholl ICE Glass Cleaner as it has an anti-fog ability from it and also a great cleaning ability from it and on the interior glass it's awesome with that it clings great on the glass so no problems with overspray or run off from it. Seems to be working good the anti-fog ability but think I will be doing them more often now so it builds up a higher performance hopefully. Worked great on the windshield too with desolving the heavy road film build up and road salt. Now the Aquapel application from 2 months ago helped a lot to get an easier glass cleaning. Mostly with when you get the glass cleaned there are almost no grabbyness when buffing of residue left. Which this windshield has a very grabby glass when it's squeeqe clean.

    The paint needs a wash badly though. Will see if the weather conditions is good and do a wash after the christmas holidays. Maybe I will be doing a prewash at the coin-op and then a WW or RW afterwards before driving home from it. Have never done a full WW or RW before. So is interested to see how a rinseless wash with Carpro EcH2O would be. Would test with multible wash mitts and mf wash pads but also with the Carpro Boa Mf Towels 500gsm.

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

    It’s going to be upper 40s here in SE Michigan today. Once it hit 38° I was outside and cleaning my Jeep. Heavy mud was sprayed off at the diy quarter wash. I did not touch the wheels and tires, roads are damp due to the thaw. This was simply to get more protection onto the paint. Plus, I have new wheels for it, just have not bought tires yet.

    Dried with a Gyeon silk drying towel and ww cobra

    TW seal and shine to try and extend the Collinite that was applied end of October.

    First two pics are after the wash. Last pic showing reflection.

    Finally had a moment to try out Turtle Wax Hydrid ceramic wash and wax and Wet Wax.

    The soap didn't do it for me at all, very liquidy and poor suds, but the Wet Wax is a great drying aid.

    Washed my truck yesterday at the coin op. Don’t think that has happened for at least 5-6 months.

    Got warm enough today to do a Christmas wash on the ZR2. God they used a lot of salt this year already.

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

    Older brother brought over fresh baked cardamom braids and in return got his Toyota Corolla washed. It was loaded up with salt, road grime and dirt. I first foamed it with Griot’s Surface Prep Wash. I let it dwell then rinsed it off. I gave it a second foaming with no rinse. I then proceeded to wash it using several MF wash pads in a bucket of warm water and Optimum Car Wash. After that was rinsed off I hit it with CarPro magic in a bottle as a drying aid. Adam’s Tire Shine on the tires and out in the sun for pics.



    Half *ssed Merlin shot:



    Edit: I topped off his windshield washer reservoir with -35* F cleaner., checked the oil (good) and tires as well (also good.) Noticed curb rash on the wheel covers

    Mid 50s today in SE Michigan. Craziness so had to take advantage. Wheels and tires cleaned up with Brake Buster. Used Optimum Car Wash today. Used IGL Enhancer to top up Premier. Windows cleaned inside and out with Megs Glass Concentrate. Tires dressed with PERL. Inside vacuumed out and wiped down with Mckees 37 Fast interior detailer.

    Also BTW anyone heard from Roger? (Klasse Act) He's as active as anyone and I haven't seen anything from him. Hope all is well.

    I might go to the spray wash later, but right now I'm sitting in the cinema waiting for the new Star Wars to start.

    Awesome job!

    That stand is cool as hell too.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
