The truck got a foam gun and a one bucket wash. I wanted to try Griots Garage Bug Barricade. Let’s see if the bugs wash right off.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I did some rework on a partially sloppy coating attempt. 3 panels including the hood recoated with CQ UK due to smeary-looking finish (high spots) on black paint.
What a difference proper lighting (sunlight) makes when checking the final finish! Who’d have known?

Nice job. FWIW, cloudy days are absolutely the best for checking coatings for high spots on dark finishes. You can see smears and high spots in sun yes, but your eyes will pin point to reduce the light/brightness coming in vs on a cloudy day.

Thanks, and yes! I first noticed I wasn’t happy with these panels on an overcast day. Lightly polished them, recoated and did the best I could to ensure smooth application with shade on a sunny day. I’ll take what I can get.
I learned a lot from my first full paint coating experience... take the lighting very seriously even if that means pulling the car out and back into my garage every few panels. And I applied my second coat a week after the first due to being on vacation inbetween. In hindsight I would have stuck to one coat or rushed the second coat with proper strategy right before leaving on vacation. Maybe someone reading this will benefit from my mishaps.
Wish I could have redone the whole thing but it’s all good... I think my wife is ready to have her car back, lol.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Cleaned my d/s floor mat as well as my daughters mat with my Biseel Little Green Machine and 1:1 ratio of Purple Power, came out great, water was very dirty, doesn't take long for those mats to get dirty. I'll be doing it after I get back from the Dragon too, d/s mat gets hammered on that trip...but well worth it

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
In preparing for Tropical Storm Beta on Saturday, had the dealer change the oil and rotate the tires...and no wash please!
Came home, rinseless washed with Wolfgang Uber, followed up with Pinnacle Crystal Mist as the LSP, WETs and Blackfire Trim Sealer on some of the trim, 303 Protectant on the tires (first time trying on tires), and finally coated the glass with Pinnacle GlassCoat!
Today I rinselessed washed the wife’s X3 with Uber...it was filthy too otherwise I would’ve hit it later in the week...5 minutes after she she left for the grocery store, it started sprinkling...oh well!
I had to go to the grocery store to grab a few things she forgot this evening...of course I took her car while mine sat in the dry garage...tomorrow mine gets the rain!!
