It’s just like Plasti Dip, yes. Except for the way it looks though, this 1 has a bit of shine, hopefully it doesn’t fade.

It started off disastrous, as my 1st coat sprayed in a bunch of dots mixed with a watery spray. Which led me to butcher the directions for the 1st 4 coats until it finally began to even out properly. Alot of luck involved. Lol

I did like 8-9 coats, but I might come back and do more in a week or 2 depending on how it looks.

It's been a couple days since I washed the ES...plus the sap season has started again, so had to get out there this evening. At work this morning I felt the rear window and it was pretty gritty, infact all topside surfaces had it, less towards the front as it's away from the trees. Like last year, it too will pass

I started with Brake Buster on the tires and wheels, 3 out of 4 brushes used and then moved onto the pre-wash.

Since the sap grit was pretty bad to me I decided to "get after it" a little more aggressively today. I grabbed my Griot's Garage foaming surface prep w/ a squirt of Auto-Fanatic foaming pre-wash. I used the entire contents on the ES but used the extra on the topside. I let it dwell and rinsed and the beading was still great! I felt the trunk and it was smooth...mission accomplished

...but wait, there's more!

I decided to do a contact wash for piece of mind, plus I like doing it

I used 2.5 ounces of Griot's Garage carwash in the wash bucket and filled the rinse bucket and got going. I noticed how smoothly the wash mit moved around the car, I knew it was cleaner than usual! I rinsed each section at a time and then time to dry.

I grabbed my Adam's graphene detailer for a drying aid because I wanted to finish off that bottle (have a fresh bottle in waiting) plus it has a little bit of a graphene detailer I was testing mixed with it. It did a great job and combined with The Gauntlet drying towel for the panels and Adam's waffle weave for the glass I couldn't be happier

To finish things off I used my mini Master Blaster for the jams and tires/wheels and grill/crevices. I was about to dress the tires but ended up talking to my neighbor for 2 hrs

I'll add some Adam's graphene tire dressing tomorrow morning before I leave for work, re-stock my trunk with topped off Brake Buster in my IK Foamer and fresh bottle of FrankenDetailer, along with a fresh battery for my Worx vacuum cleaner. Probably spray some Adam's leather scent in there too, why not right

Time for bed, thanks for looking/reading

Cheaper and more personal than a new grill, has the "Ric touch"

It’s not done yet. I still need to add the wreath & crest and the Heritage of Ownership Medallion. I’m just waiting a day for it to fully dry.

Never heard of him. Unless it’s that singer dude you once mentioned who owns alot of Cadillacs. Other than that time you mentioned him I’ve never been aware of him. Some nice cars.

He can tattoo himself as he pleases, they do nothing for me and I don’t plan on ever getting any. Lol.

I wonder if he has any historic literature or photography. That’s the type of stuff I’m into.
