    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    So I took the ES into the dealership and they washed itWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing? It wasn't even dirty, not even close, so I guess I've gotta say something EVERYTIME What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I pulled out of there and dried the car completely and got home and decided to wipe it down with something and that "something" was "Eve's better halfs" graphene detailer. I'll say this, the similar product I'm beta testing had better as good or better because I REALLY like THIS product. It can be used wet or dry and a little truely goes a looooong way hereWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    After that I applied 2x's 303 Tire Balm to freshen up the tires and also applied the graphine trim coating I'm beta testing. I applied it initially about a month ago and it didn't really "need" a boost but I wanted to do it. I did do the cowl area around the wipers though, so that's a fresh coat.

    The car now sits looking good till tomorrow morning for cars and coffee...where's my winter coatWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I'm sitting on my bicycle at a long light I spy the front and rear end of a 1940 Ford Woodie Wagon....yes, the paint and wood were exemplary. A utility box is blocking the center of the car. The light changes and I see the Meguiar's logo and bingo.... Barry behind the wheel!
    He moved to the Paradise Valley, AZ area last year and I finally made a spotting of Mr. Car Crazy!

    Yes, his black woodie was detailed to perfection!

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    When I last left you I said the car was ready for C&C tomorrow morning but I went for a little ride and came back and parked the ES. A little bit later I heard a leaf blower but thought nothing about it till I took some random duty mf towels out to the ES only to see yard clipping in the wind and all over the ES. The house behind me was getting some yard work doneWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I was pi$$ed at first but I then thought "time to use a new soap"! That new soap was "Eve's better half" graphene carwash soap. Now i decided to use it in my IK 1.5 but it was hard to pump...dirty felt tip was the culprit, no problem. Now i watched their video and they said because of the protection added in there it wasn't going to Foam as much, even though they added something to help it Foam. This was kinda true in the video where they used a Foam cannon. Well I don't have a Foam cannon, I've got a CG's foam gun and my IK 1.5. My foam gun has left over Griot's Garage Ceramic wash and coat in it so I just used the IK 1.5 since it was empty....I'm glad I did! After pumping up the IK 1.5 the foam was thick and laid down nicelyWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?I did the entire car, tires/wheels/wells and when I rinsed it off the beading was C R A Z Y (I did lay down some of their graphene detailer earlier too, double graphene dayWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?)

    I dried the ES with the Sucker Sr and Griot's Garage PFM moping up the left over water. I then dried the tires and applied 1 coat of their graphene tire coating to even out the freshWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I then wiped down the seats and interior w/ Mckee's interior detailer and sprayed CG"s Signature scent to finish off the interiorWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Atleast it will look good tomorrow and well protected for the S N O W coming for TuesdayWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing? I don't care if it isn't going to stick, this S U C K S! It was 80 degrees 3 days in a row to start off the work week 2 weeks ago and it's been going downhill ever since, my God enough is enough already What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Gave my wife's new ride a quick wash and spray seal. I told the dealer not to touch it, as it was fresh off of the truck. It saved me 2 hours at the dealer. Lol

    Looking forward to experimenting with this color, it really pops in the sun.

    Ooooh, Snazzberry. Nice Jeep! Don't forget to wave (although most angry grill Jeeps don't wave back, so I stopped waving to them). Get the top off ASAP, that's where the fun is.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Standard Sunday morning wash, D143 on tires and wheels, WG SiO2 shampoo with multiple MF towels, GG PFM to dry, finally hit the tires with DP Tire Gel (1 coat).

    I got a wild hair later in the afternoon, I found a small sample jar of Dodo Juice Blue Velvet hard wax that I bought a couple of years ago, didn’t realize at the time that is was a hard wax and just put it aside!

    As my knowledge increased by reading AGOnline and the recent releases of some new waxes, I decided to finally give it a try!

    With a MF applicator and the little bitty jar in my hand, I went to work. It took about 20-30 minutes to cover the entire car, I let it haze for about 15 minutes and grabbed a plush MF towel to wipe, pretty easy to wipe although a couple of spots were a little grabby.

    I pulled the car outside to examine my work but as soon as I did, Mother Nature came calling with a quick shower...pulled the car back in and called it the day.

    I finally got to see my work this morning after arriving to work....definitely has a pop to it!

    Thank you
    Jay
