What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[Uncbrs]

Needed a little half day therapy after a long week in northern Michigan. Had to sneak it all in before the 100 degree sun hit... it's been the same story all summer

I happened upon Mitchell & King products recently and with PA still as a base, I figured some good old fashioned wax can't hurt.

TWHS Wheel foam
TWHS Graphene Tire spray
M&K Snow foam
3D pink soap

Griot's 3-in-1 on wheels
M&K Heritage (paste glaze)
M&K Emperor wax

I'm still learning about M&K and pleased overall with everything but definitely an oily wax. I need to give it a fair shake and strip my base PA layer but it turned out OK for my eyes. The PA base was beading like crazy and in theory should still have 3-5mos of life in it. Guess we'll call M&K "sacrificial therapy".

I'm supposed to have some CarPro InnerQD showing up soon so I might still wipe down the inside before some preseason NFL (football already?!)

Happy Saturday all!

CQUK on all the glass, this time including the entire roof.

I LOVE CLEAN GLASS.

Buick was the guinny pig for my first time with carpro descale, and also reset.

Ive felt contaminants.. mainly on the roof in the past while i would do hand washes. Iron remover would not touch it. So opted to give descale a try.

Car was pretty dirty, so ran a pinch of descale through the foam cannon and let dwell, and rinsed.

Then bucket washed with descale. Could feel the contaiminants were no longer present.

Followed up with bucket wash of reset.

Gyeon cure for drying aide. Megs 40 on the tires.

No joke, the surface looks and feels like the day i installed can coat evo. I will now always have descale on the shelf for the quarterly decons.

Reset will now also be a regular product for me from now on.

Glad you liked Descale, it's earnt a place in my cabinet for similar reasons.





For those who are interested, the undiluted form of Descale measures at a pH of 3.72

Thanks for the info deyon. Do you dilute it per the bottles directions? Since you use descale and reset, curious what your dilutions are for both foam cannon and a bucket

I got some RainX Ceramic glass cleaner/sealant and it made an absolute mess out of my glass. It left a residue that I can NOT wash off the glass and the windshield is foggy. You guys have any tips for me?

Tried any wax/grease remover? If not polish it off

Haven’t washed my car in the last couple of weeks at least, I’ve been getting the daughters car ready to go to college!

Standard wash with PS Pearl with multiple microfiber towels and dried with the GG PFM, wheels and tires with PS Brakebuster with multiple brushes and coated with HS graphene tire stuff….

Since it wasn’t too hot this morning, I decided to put on another coat of 3D Poxy by hand since it’s been a few months since I put a coat on…applying by hand and becoming one with the car…is very therapeutic…tiring but therapeutic!

Just as I was finishing up, Mother Nature came calling, what a b!tch she is!!

What about Eraser or some other IPA wipe? I used to Rain-X my windows back in the day until I realized I hated the smearing on the windshield, so then I started using it on all the glass EXCEPT the windshield.

Magic eraser, clay/synthetic clay or glass polish

Same here. All glass but the windshield. Until now lol. Because it said cleaner/repellant. I figured “how bad could it be? It’s gotta be mostly a cleaner”. I have my answer.
