    It is 1 of 100, next to worthless, and something I try to take really good care of.

    The tires were thoroughly cleaned with LA Totally Awesome and the wheels were cleaned with Griots HD Wheel Cleaner. Then the tires were coated with 2 coats of TufShine tire coating.

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

    Worked on 2 different vehicles today, the owner of Xtreme Graphics and his right hand wo(man). The girl has the Jeep and Steve has the ZL1.

    I did the Jeep first. Started on the tires and used Griot's Garage foaming tire cleaner and Auto-Fanatic foaming wheel cleaner (medium strength) and all 4 brushes called into service...all hands on deck! Once I was done there I began the pre-wash. For this I used 5 ounces of Gyeon Restart and foamed it down real good, used the entire contents of the CG's foam gun. I let it dwell and rinsed away, time for the 2BM. For the contact wash I used Griot's Garage carwash. Once I was done there the water was FLAT! For the LSP I used 303 Touchless Sealant and it then beaded like crazy! Drying was so easy and the paint was glossy! I applied the 303 Touchless Sealant to her wheels for added protection!

    I used my mini Master Blaster to dry the tires and wheels and applied 303 Tire Balm, 2 coats using a Carrand tire brush due to slightly knobby sidewalls. Now onto the Camaro!

    For the Camaro I used Auto-Fanatic foaming wheel cleaner and 303 Tire cleaner, emptied that Griot's Garage foaming tire cleaner. These wheels REALLY needed some attention and there was LOTS of brown foam!! I rinsed them down and sprayed Meg's HCW @4:1 and let it sit. I used 5 ounces of CarPro Lift in the CG's foam gun for the pre-wash and let it dwell and rinsed everything away, time for the 2BM.

    The 2BM had me finishing my Griot's Garage carwash bottle but I also added some Gyeon Restart to the mix too. It cleaned up nice and the panels w/o PPF had beading but once again I applied the 303 Touchless Sealant to the ZR1 and it really POP'dWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?The drying was even easier here. I even added additional protection by spraying the 303 Touchless Sealant on the rims. Dried using the mini Master Blaster and applied 303 Tire Balm, Car came out great!!

    This green literally G L O W S What 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?

    Btw here's how rough Chicago is...even the kiddie cars get put up on blocks...but we eat good nonethelessWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Drove my wife to Braum’s for some milk and groceries in the MINI. While I was waiting, wiped down the dash and door cards with Opt Leather Protectant.

    Applied my first ceramic coating today to my buddies Bronco.

    Poorboy’s . The process was smooth, and it went quick with the two of us working.

    He’s happy with it. I didn’t get the greatest pics, but the PB coating really made the metallic pop.

    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
