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

    I finished this 2002 Toyota Camry this past weekend. This thing was so thrashed I needed to gut it. I even had to vacuum the cobwebs from this cars underbody which is rare. It must’ve been sitting for a while.

    This is after a thorough vacuum.




    Carpet all clean. I used Megs D101 to clean the interior.




    Before/after on the headlights.




    After shots. Polished with Megs D300. Glass polished with McKee’s Glass Restoring Polish. Beadmaker lsp.

    After polishing, but before wax... this pic just doesn't do it justice.

    I think Vanilla ice had one of these bike's, I'm liking the old 90s shape.

    It was in a Movie called "Cool as ice" i think

    This shows the shine a bit better...waxed it last night.

    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.

    No actually, quite the opposite… It took me a whole freaking month to call the customer back and tell him it was doneWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    3 weeks into it he had to call just to check in on me and make sure everything was ok… I explained the situation and he let me know he wasn’t in a hurry just wanted to make sure things were ok.

    It’s been kinda hectic lately. I’ve been working more hours and that’s left me with less energy to detail cars.What did you do today, in regards to detailing? Plus not being available to detail in the mornings leaves me out in the blazing sun whenever I do have time, and even when I do have time I wind up napping or something. It’s been crazy lately.What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I’ve been so busy that I detailed 1 of my good friends wifes minivan over 3 weeks ago and haven’t even bothered to contact him about paying me for the job yet!What did you do today, in regards to detailing?lol.

    I used one of my designated tire/wheel mf towels to clean the tires and wheel faces and spokes, no barrels this time because it's "supposed to" rain this week and like I said earlier, had to regain some sanity from these sap specs.

    As you can see the single layer of Feynlab Black Velvet Tire Coating is doing well after 3 washes of different types. I'm not saying it's the best but it's not bad either What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

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

    I cleaned and treated my windshield and wipers today. I had a long drive home last night, my regular route was flooded, on unfamiliar roads in dark and rain. The wipers started chattering about 10 mins in to an hour's drive, very annoying.

    I cleaned my wipers the other day with 303 Aerospace Protectant, after noticing webbing left behind. Obviously I made them too clean, there was no more webbing, but the chartering was bad, but only on the return stroke. So I wiped some graphite powder on them, then cleaned the glass with Krystal Klean, I really like the bubblegum scent, and then gave it 2 coats of Rain-X.

    Went for a drive to test it out, no more chattering, and almost didn't need the wipers at all. Now if the roads re-open I might get back to work tomorrow.

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

    Finished my wife’s expedition. It’s a 2017 with 160,000 miles so it’s not perfect by any means. Spent its entire life outside and hauls 3 kids everywhere but I try to polish it once a year with a one step system. This time I washed, clayed, Rupes yellow foam pad and cream and then graphene coated it. I think it turned out great for an older car and a weekend warrior!
