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

    So after getting home from work I did my "maintenance" wash but here at home.

    I started by using TWHS Hyper Foam for the front rims and CG's GlossworkZ for the rears. I did this to 1 finish up the bottle of TW AND because I did a barrel cleaning too, figured use the stronger stuff up front. Rinsing the rims had the water beading up a storm....soooo satisfyingWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Next was the EN itself and for this it was Griot's Garage Brillant Shine snow foam. After dwell it was rinsed and followed up with Griot's Garage Poly Gloss...that strawberry What did you do today, in regards to detailing? smell is INCREDIBLE! After drying it down I applied some Auto-Fanatic tire dressing, very light coat and I was done with the ENWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    After dinner I took the g/f's Cruze to the touch-free wash but because it was so dusty/pollen'd up it recieved a Bilt-Hamber Touchless pre-wash, it was sooooo badWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I dried it off and I'm really impressed with the CarPro Darkside! This application is going on 2.5 weeks and her car is washed twice a week usually and I only wipe the tire dry. Now yes, it's not freshly dressed looking, but rather the sheen of a new tire and NO browningWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Before going to bed I used my mini Master Blaster to blow off the foliage on the EN, I can't stand my car being outside 24/7, going to try and do something about that next year via moving. You guys that have a Garage, appreciate what you haveWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Yeah down here they just use the cheapest stuff possible, apparently high PH and even some wash can contain salt. You can definitely tell if a car here in Australia has been
    through the car wash, if i'm going through a car yard = Aussie slang for car dealership
    They stick out like a sore thumb.

    I decided to try the TW Pure shine, and in the midst of pollen/cottonwood tree area, I really didn’t notice any antistatic properties, actually felt the Graphene CS3 did a slightly better job, but almost a tie. Slickness, gloss were pretty even. So, I decided to just stick with the graphene route as it appears to be a little darker, but both Pure Shine and graphene CS3 provide excellent gloss.

    Thank you…yes pretty understated as most people have no idea what it is. I have been loving the stealth look, and even though the blacked out rims are not everyone’s taste, I have been really pleased. Cheers

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

    Last weekend ran a bunch of pads through the Better-Than-Hand-Scrubbing-O-Matic.

    Rags to riches + HF 6 inch (ish) backing plate and Griot's Quick Connect Adapter (or the 3" backing plate w/ quick connect that came with a set of amazon drill brush/polishing pad set) + Ribbed Paint tray + Lil DeWalt bit driver.









    Blitzed through in no time.

    (The little dots you see on the pads aren’t tears in the foam, it’s just wet spots)

    THEE new version of the FNWWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    After a 13 hr work day I desperately needed some "unwind" time! After running the EN through the wash and drying it off I noticed a NICE Guilia QV, black w/silver rims, not the usual dark ones, I really liked that look!! While finishing up the drying the owner of that Guilia QV drove over and said "what kind of car is THAT?!" I told him and he said "that's really sharp". I told him how much more I liked HIS car...gotta love car guysWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?
