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

    I have the week off! Debating on doing a paint correction on this 93 mustang....or pulling the transmission out of the 67. It has a bad leak.

    The 93 pictures well, but the paint needs some work.

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

    Since my g/f had to stay home from work today AND it was 32 degrees this morning AND it was fog snow AND the EN has it's summer perf tires on I was able to "Cruze" to work this morning, safely, in her car.

    After work I ran it through the touch-free wash and headed over to pick up my daughter from daycare. The TW Seal and Shine is looking nice and her car will be a great test bed for it's durability What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Same truck but now go straight to the 1200-2000 then Sonax ultimate cut. With LC micro and blue SDO CSS.
    Not shooting for show quality on roof that’s fore sure! He is just going to have to deal. It’s for a friend so no $ here. Good experience for e with sanding though.

    More crash dummies. Nice 2020 Jeep door.
    Found a nice honey hole near me. Local Body shop. Great confidence boosters.
    Scored it with 1200 grit. 90% came out with just forced w/Ultimate and Microfiber.
    Tomorrow I will hit it a tad with the rotor.

    I polished a friends white SantaFe before our group went out for dinner. I used 3D Speed, CBeast, orange Lake County Force Hybrid combo. A quick 45 minute, me buff, he wipe attack.

    He had ran it thru a touch free wash ahead of time. Interesting how the car had a blue tinted film from the car wash all over it….No surprise. A wipe down with a wet rag removed it. The car is 3 yrs old and never polished until now.

    Sorry no picture. A change of clothes and we recessed with our wives and friends for an evening on a patio viewing a beautiful sunset in AZ.

    That blue film was probably the "bubble gum stuff" as my 7 yr old daughter has called it for a couple years now, aka the wax applicationWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    John, how many passes and how much pressure did you apply? Did you get decent removal of minor swirls? I have used that same combo before with good results.
