What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

I’m a watch guy and can appreciate a nice watch story. I ought to have my grandfather’s watch restored.

I’ve been meaning to have the battery in my Bulova replaced for over a year now.

I recently purchased a 1993 Toyota pickup for a “beater” truck and had not planned on doing anything to the outside. I then decided I would see what would happen if I cleaned the paint and tried polishing it. It has lived outside in the weather for many years so there was a lot of crude to clean off before I could begin the polishing process. I’m somewhat surprised how well it is turning out so far. This is a picture of the top of the cab from beginning to end. As a bonus, the patina is free. As a side note: I am not a professional detailer.

I had to redeem myself from my filthy car post in the "post a picture of your ride as it sits thread" yesterday.

Broke out the PW today and foamed the car with Hyper wash while I cleaned the wheels, tires and wheel wells with Brake Buster. Rinsed wheels and paint, hit the wheels with a spritz of Wet Coat.

Washed the paint with Reset, rinsed and dried. Tried out a new to me topper that isn't sold here. Easy to use, quite slick and if you're into cotton candy you'd like the smell. Gloss looks real good too. Tires dressed with PERL and wheels got a spritz of said topper for their final wipe down.

Interior wasn't dirty but at least needed a quick vac and wipe down so I did that as well.

Enjoy the crappy garage pictures.

The old stang finally got 2 coats of EXO today.
Hasn't shined this good since well before I bought it in ~2003. I did a wet sand (in some areas), compound and polish a few weeks back and it has been sitting in the garage waiting for the coating. Wheels got a couple coats of C2V3. I might throw some left over EXO on them if I feel ambitious.

I'll get some better pics outside sometime.
