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

    Had a somewhat senior moment...

    I have a Griots 3in surface prep pad. It's used on a polisher with QD as lube to clean paint without the ballache of claying it by hand. It says to break it in on glass at first before using it on paint. Decided to do so on the Camaro windshield.
    Get the G8 out & set up all ready to go... then I move the box the G8 came in it feels too heavy for an empty box...
    Pulled out the molded plastic piece in the bottom of the box & found an extension cord... Odd, the G8/G9 kit I bought came with a 25ft extension cord in a separate box. It fits both the G8 & the G9.
    Pulled the G9 box off the shelf, removed polisher & plastic doodad & found ANOTHER extension cord... They're both 12footers.

    I've used both polishers a few times since they arrived several days ago, guess I hadn't moved an *empty* box until this afternoon.

    & the windshield of the Camaro is probably the cleanest/smoothest it's ever been.

    Surface prep pad is supposed to good for 21 vehicles. Never going to use clay by hand ever again.
    Those who possess real knowledge are rare. Those who can set that knowledge into motion in the physical world are rarer still. The few who possess real knowledge and can set it into motion of their own hands are the rarest of all.

    The 25 ft cord is also heavier gauge that can be used with the G15/21 if you ever pick those up.

    After days of rain and surely pollen the EN got its FNWWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I did this a little differently tonight, let me explain. I started by spraying the tires & wheels with TWHS Hyper Foam and let dwell, then rinsed away. I then foamed down the EN using my Griot's Garage foam gun filled w/ 3 oz of Koch Chemie GsF, let dwell and then rinsed away. At this point it looked great but I was already planning a contact wash, but which oneWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I added 3 oz of Adam's RW and 3 gallons of water in a single bucket w/grit guard, grabbed my trusty Aqua sponge and got after it. I decided a single bucket and no pre-wash was perfectly fine due to how good a job the Koch Chemie GsF did as a pre-wash AND the car was still wet. I went around the EN quickly and efficiently, saving the wheel face and spokes for last because I didn't use a brush on the rims at all. The rims cleaned up good and I dried them as it was getting dark, we'll see how it goes tomorrow when it's light outWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I like changing things up and I'll be running the EN through my favorite Touchless wash Sunday morning and heading to the good monthly C&C hosted by Fuel Fed in Winnetka ILL, stay "tuned"What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I liked GSF a lot when I used it last. I have an unwashed white car (over a month now) that was in snow as recently as last week. I'm thinking I'll try the Green Star added to GSF tomorrow and see how it goes. Probably won't have a dirtier opportunity for awhile.

    Overall I like a lot of the Koch Chemie offerings.
