What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Yesterday was cleaning the windshield and rear window, then claying and applying Griots glass sealant. Today was cleaning wheels/tires, applying tire dressing and ceramic wheel sealant.

Before & After:

Nice turn around.

Before


After

It came out alright.
Would need a proper two-step, and it’s not worth it.

Ran out of time.

Great turnaround. How do you like 3D one and Perfect finish? I have both in my limited products and experience.

I actually just washed my car for the first time in 2 mths. Lower panels were bad, next time i think i will use an APC pre-wash on the lower panel. The car had around 1000km on the highway since the last wash. And i think i can finally confirm my car has soft paint! Its a 2016 blue camry. Lots of swirls in the sun but they don't look very deep.

Quick wash yesterday, nothing elaborate since rain is in the forecast on Wednesday!

Used Megs D143 on the wheels and tires with DP Tire Gel (single coat since it’ll be raining on Wednesday), Duragloss shampoo and dried with The AWESOME Griots PFM!

I looked at the 2nd picture and was wondering why you took a pic of your garage door and light.
Then it hit me.
Nice transformation.

Thank you. I understand, it is confusing when you first look at it. It was difficult getting a good picture.

Awesome pic for sure.

If you want a really confusing one, check out BSoares's side-shot in his garage.

(I hope you read this, Bruno. I can't remember the thread....... )

Rinseless wash with Pure. Will Frothe tomorrow and then apply a couple layers of Overcoat followed by Cosmic.

Gave the FJ a 2B hand wash using Mother's California Gold, dried with Bowden's After Glow. I noticed the roof had lost its beading, so I re-applied the Collinite 845, but to the roof only, the sides and hood were fine. Might be due to the roof being a different, and single stage, paint. The Collinite was first applied Sep 24, so 9 weeks isn't bad for an upper surface that's outside 24/7, and we've had some heavy rain, and hot days.
