Dgage, very unique finish on those rims and it really compliments the color of your ride

Looking forward to future pics of this car! Your posts are very detailed and the little touches you've made to your car are well thought out

Thanks. I’ll probably put a ceramic coating on this spring and will use the Leather Doctor AP3 kit I just ordered on a few minor issues. That’s probably about it for my car though I have to do some work on my son’s car that I just bought him in December and needs a good polishing and will get a ceramic coating as well. Currently thinking about 2 coats of CQuartz UK 3.0 and 1 coat of CQuartz Sic but I haven’t purchased anything yet.

Back when I had a 97 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with similar polished exhaust tips, I painted the inside portion with flat-black hi-temp paint. Nice look and very little cleaning/maintenance required.

What do you think for prep? Clean, degrease, scuff sand, wipe with acetone, tape off, and spray? I ask since you’re a paint expert. Thanks.
And that brings up one other thing I have planned, which is to put some Acura brake caliper covers on but they don’t completely cover the sides so I’ll need to paint the sides of the calipers black before putting the covers on. Sounds like a good pair of tasks to do simultaneously.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
In Australia, you are either a Ford man or a Holden man. (Unless you are one of those guys on the outer who is into Valiants. )
Those brand sentiments are are fading now that both brands have shuttered their local factories. That said, as a Ford man, having a Holden in my garage for the first time was a somewhat awkward moment!
This Holden Cruze needed some attention to get it looking good again.
The brake pedal feel on this car was excellent on the drive back to the garage. On inspection of the wheels, it was pretty clear why. The brake pads Holden chose for the Cruze are of the dusty kind, and while the faces looked ok, the barrels were sludged up with thick black dust.
Despite plenty of rinsing of my brushes with the pressure washer, this was the sludge at the bottom of my wheel bucket.
As always, it's the interior that soaks up the time. This car wasn't too bad but the cheap carpet again rears it's ugly head.
A combination of APC, Megs Quick Interior Detailer and Bowdens Leather love returned the interior to it's best. I like the combination of leather and suede trimmed seats.
Still not sure how I feel about this image.....
Completed and ready for return.
