    Throwback Thursday Detail:

    I don't usually do details during the week but with a time situation at hand, my friend needed his daily cleaned up quickly as he's stepped up a move-date whereby he's off to Irvine California! It's a throwback to 2010 featuring a Honda Accord finished in Polished Metal Metallic Gray with over 173k miles on the clock ��

    Not wanting to go crazy we settled on my Basic Polish & Protect package with a 1-year ceramic coating. The car wasn't horrible, but it lives outside, had tons of fallout on it and the windows were etched pretty good with water spots. Add to it the front wheels were etched pretty badly with brake dust. All that's gone now and the car is looking sharp.

    If mother nature allows, I hope to have some official pics in the morning but before I sign off for the night, here are a few sneak peek images.

    If wheels and tire same size…. Think about switching? The silver wouldn’t look as bad in the winter.

    The stock chromes are 17's and the black wheels are 18's...so no go. I do like the black wheels as far as the wider 9 inch wheel and offset. Its a better stace imo, but the black wheels are not in that great of shape...plus im a chrome wheel guy lol

    No pics because i suck at them

    Cleaned my mum's VW Amarok wheels and inner guard wash it Tuesday if i can get my hands on it.

    Cleaned the old man's wheels and tyres with Garage Therapy one wheel shampoo,
    and dressed with Garage Therapy tyre serum.

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

    A friend asked if I could get the sanding scratches and rotary marks out of his recently painted project truck. I did a two step correction with Meguiars 105/microfiber pads and Sonax Perfect Finish with black foam pads. I only took a couple of before photos...I’m always anxious to get started polishing and forget photos. Turned out nice.

    Quick wash with Griot's ceramic wash & coat. I think next time I use that I'll add a 3rd bucket with a more powerful soap to hit the dirtier spots first. Definitely struggle getting the car 100% clean with wash & coat.

    Yeah I've only used Griot's Garage Ceramic wash and coat when the car was dusty, like a quicker WW. Maybe try it after a contact wash as a way to add protection to the car through your foam gun or cannonWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Car looks great as usual and btw a couple weeks ago I saw your car with the rarely spec'd body kit (if you can call it that). It looks really good too, subtle enough to not interrupt how good lookin' the car isWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?
