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

    After breakfast I went out and did an Absolute RW on the g/f's Cruze. This car was dirty from a weeks of driving and a rainy day from a couple days ago. This RW is just soooo easy to use and cleans VERY well! I made my ratio a little stronger (2 oz to 3.5 gallons), used the IK sprayer and large CG's drying towel, also the DIY Detail Legacy sponge for the car and old Aqua sponge for the tires and wheels. Speaking of the tires we're going on 2+ weeks on CarPro Darkside on here tires, no topping them up and I'm very happy with this productWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I finished up by applying some Veros 5 in 1 to the Cruze at the 3:1 ratio and again, sooooo easy to use, even though it's a cool 52 degrees this morning. I'm really liking Veros productsWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    The EN will go through the touch-free wash at some point today, ofcoarseWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

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

    Actually went back outside and did a quick cleanup on the Cruze's engine bay. Made up 32 oz of distilled and 2 oz of DIY Detail RW, VERY strong ratio but I'm cleaning the engine bay. I also used a medium barrel brush to clean and then level the DIY Detail tire dressing that I used in the engine bay. Yes it needs to be properly cleaned but this is ok for now, I got a bug up my butt about it.

    I'll try and get a pic but the sun is glaring out there What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I did check for fun. You can still find it ( Megs wash plus) on E-bay. About $30 to $80 a bottle.

    I decided to jump on the graphene bandwagon. Car has PPF with Modesta ceramic coating. I applied Adam’s graphene detail spray, and feel like on my black ride, it darkened the look some. So far pleased and will see how it holds up. I plan on graphene CS3 as maintenance.

    Hyper Wash, DG 253 on the tires, McKee’s trim restore on the trim, and my trusty 476S on the paint….

    Just when I thought I was done buying for a while...anything to darken and shine, I am willing to try. Picked up a bottle this morning and will give it a try. Will be interesting to see about the anti-static properties.

    Cheers
