    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?

    Thanks. I didn't notice some of the tar/grime until I was already washing it. The girlfriend's car needs a serious wash so I'll probably break out the Reset for that and then touch up my car. Maybe try wash & coat in the SPTA sprayer/foamer on her car after the Reset.

    I'd like to suggest trying some Bilt-Hamber Touchless for pre-wash duties, I think you'll REALLY like itWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

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

    Earlier this week I finished up with the Lincoln Limousine. I wound up doing a 2 step on it. Megs D300 w/microfiber pads followed by Optimum Hyper Polish w/LC Flat Foam White pads.

    Turned out real nice. Polished all the chrome too.

    Before.



    After.










    It was a chore trying to keep the dust off this black behemoth during the entire process. Black paint certainly is a different animal.

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

    Knocked off 2 weeks of filth on the ZR2. Normal wash/interior. Finally a nice Saturday. Had the stuff out, so gave her Escape a quick wash/vac. 3.5 hours between both. Was tired after. Working 10's at work will do that! Figured it was time to move my stuff to the main part of the garage also. It was nice to get some fresh air and release some stress.

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

    ONR rinseless wash, followed by a wipe down with Griot’s BOSS Detailer for a little extra pop.

    Decided to try out a couple products from my last unboxing post. Polished my hood with Griot’s BOSS Perfecting Cream and BOSS Perfecting pad. Then protected with Griot’s Ceramic 3-in-1 wax. All I can say is WOW! Big difference from the polish step I was used to doing, which was Meg’s Ultimate Polish on LC White pad. The hood turned out immaculately. Brought it out in the sun after working in the garage. Super happy with the results. Other than random pitting from rocks/stones towards the front of the hood, there wasn’t a defect to be found!

    Quick springtime refresh on a previous 911 I ceramic coated. Also a clean/polish/coating of summer wheels prior to installation.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?



    CarPro Essence polished
    CarPro SiC coated

    I think one coat is what I’ll stick with in the future. I got some ghosting spots after applying the second coat. Had to spot apply more SiC and quickly buff to clear up the finish. Not fun.

    Car is brand new. Made the job a bit easier.
