What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[Big Dave]

Simple quick detail on the Qashqai, it got driven the last two days. Luckily the first rain free days we've had in a while. Used Bowden's Boss Gloss. The Dodo Juice Blue Velvet and Red Mist are holding up well.

Money shots from yesterday…




Without proper maintenance, that black plastic trim is going to look horrendous as it fades to gray. Apparently, this design is quite controversial amongst the SUBARU loyal. I think it looks fine, but maybe only because of the black paint.

TACsystem Moonlight made it a few shades darker and will hopefully protect against the elements better than nothing.

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!

No special things to worry about on a matte finish in regards to coatings? Just curious.

Looks great. I like the tires & wheels too.

Did some interior cleaning which is my least favorite thing to do especially when one is as grubby as this.


Koch Chem PolStar on the cloth seats and to clean the Leather


CarPro Inside for carpets


CarPro InnerQD for the dash and interior plastics

How did you like CarPro InnerQD?

Another case of I drive, I detail it.

I finished off my bottle CarPro Retyre on the XR8, a product that I don't think I will be re-ordering. I'm finding that unless a product wows me on the first try, then it's very unlikely that I'm going to want to use it and therefore re-order.





I know of people that have had good results from Retyre, but for whatever reason it just does not perform for me. I gave the tyres two scrubbings today and yet it did not completely strip the OG Tire Dressing. As it stands, this is a rare disappointment from the CarPro brand.





I really like the performance of Gyeon Q2 wax so far -



As always, I wipe the engine bay over after a wash.





Ready for it's cover to be reinstated, hopefully for not as long as last time.



Onto the Ranger, which missed a wash last week and was covered in dust and rain spots.

As a direct comparison to Retyre, I used some Wise Guy and with one quick scrub, the tyres on the Ranger were stripped clean.

The XR8 had NV Snow, but went with Reset for the Ranger.







I used Paint Gloss as a drying aid, Invisible Glass on the windows, Megs Quick Interior Detailer on the plastics, P&S Express to clean off the rubber floor mats, Duragloss 253 on the tyres and a spritz of Angelwax Eden in the cabin.

And thus concludes another therapy session.
