    Took a break to mow the lawn, take the dog to the dog park, go grocery shopping, and cook steaks. And completely forgot the tire dressing! Ah well, gives me an excuse to wash it again this week and put some tire dressing on it.

    Wish I could remember how to get full size pics to show up!

    Two coats of #476S will tie you over for quite some time but keep us posted on real world durability. I ask this because it looks like wax is making a resurgence What did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Your car has to look good on vacation too. First thing this morning was a rinseless wash with Wolfgang Uber then Fuzion spray wax. The tires were treated with DP tire dressing. The vinyl was treated with Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber protectant. Is that any different than WETS? I noticed that WETS is clear where the protectant is milky.

    I washed my car outside, first time in a year. I had only done rinseless washes since. But it was too much pollen and I don’t risk rinseless in that situation. Wheels also needed deeper cleaning than I do when washing in the garage so it was time. Hopefully pollen isn’t so wild again and I can go back to rinseless during the summer. I also applied some Elixir over my coating.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Worked on the interior of a 2011 Mariner. Rough shape but big improvement.

    Took a picture mid cleanup of the door.

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

    Last minute detail, got a call late morning wondering if I could fit this car in.



    Being a small meant I managed to achieve more than expected. For a car with 125,000 miles on the clock, this Suzuki Swift was in great condition. It just needed some of the finer details finessed. Despite being a rather cheap car when new, the Japanese really know how to make a quality car!

    Biggest transformation was with the headlights.









    I also polished out a few minor carpark scuffs while I had the gear out.

    The interior had a fair bit of accumulated grime on the steering wheel, gear selector, handbrake and door trims. I hit these areas with an APC, then went over the whole interior with Megs Quick Interior Detailer. The glass was also a big transformation, clearly the interior glass surfaces had not been cleaned in a long time. I used Invisible Glass for this as it seems to have a bit more bite compared to the other glass products in the cabinet. Returning the car in the afternoon, the view out was almost like there was no glass at all.

    The car came up great, the paint protected with Hydr02 and Bead Maker.

    Looks good. I recently finished a Tahoe. GM White cleans up nicely.
