What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[Coatingsarecrack]

On the list:

‘93 Mustang Cobra R
Buick GNX
Buick Regal Turbo
Pontiac Trans am Turbo
GMC Syclone
GMC Typhoon

Minus the Cobra, we can see the V6 turbo want is strong over here. And now I just realized those were all 4spd automatics. Well, Cobra it is.




Klasse, I was at the drag strip on an unofficial GM turbo day back in the early 90’s. Fastest turbo V6’s I’d ever seen. Heavily modded Grand National and a Regal staging...sounded like a pair of jets readying for take off. And take off they did! That did it for me.

Nice list. It’s crazy what those cars will bring 20-40k...... Cobra R gonna be 100k.

We have similar taste. When i was 15 i was sure i was gonna have a typhoon, fox body, 70’s Chevelle or SS Monte as my first car! Pops had other Ideas

A few days ago I detailed this 2008 Mercedes CLS 550.
Car showed up looking like it hadn’t been washed in forever. Paint was heavily contaminated and truly in need of some TLC.



Wheels were severely caked with baked on brake dust.



Heavy swirls on the paint as well.



I compounded with Pinnacle Black Label Compound w/Lake Country Blue course HD foam cutting pads. It took 2 buffing cycles but it got the job done. Some pretty hard paint.



Before.




After.




Polished the headlights w/Megs PlastX on a 3” foam cutting pad. Protected w/Mckees Headlight Coating.



After shots.









Pretty nice car. Turned out really smooth.

I'm about 4 hours in to removing the vinyl from my hood, and I'm almost halfway. It was so bad I could feel it gripping the wash mitt. so much so it almost stops it. It's so brittle as well, the biggest piece to come off was only about 4 inches long. The guy who installed it said to use plenty of heat to make sure the glue comes with it, but I'm finding the opposite. While I'm getting larger pieces using the heat gun, the glue is staying behind, no heat means smaller pieces but there's no glue residue. I will never put after market vinyl on any car again. Feel free to yell and throw things at me if say I'm going to do it.

I finally got the last of the vinyl and glue residue off the hood. Then gave it a wipe over with a clay sponge, using Bowden's Three Way as a lubricant, this is also an iron and wax remover. Then buffed with Scholl S30+ on a blue spider pad, wiped down with Carpro Eraser before putting a layer of Collinite 845. Then I noticed the dust spots on the rest of the car so I gave it an ONR wash.

It's about 36 degrees here today (pretty much the coldest I'll wash the car in) so I went to the local pay and spray. Foamed up my wheels and tires with Brake Buster and let dwell while I rinsed off the rest of the car then rinsed the wheels and tires.

Went home and did a quick rinseless wash with N-914. Supposed to be quite a few dry days in a row so we should stay fairly clean for a while.
