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

    With the upcoming rains for tomorrow and probably not getting my detailing fix tomorrow, I decided to go out there and so some interior "sprucing up", let's goWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I started by doing a vac of the entire interior and trunk. Next was some Connolly Leather cleaner on a scrub ninja to properly clean the steering wheel, I actually did it twice, basically "revving it" like a motorcycle throttle if you will. Letting that dry real good I then used DIY Detail Interior Clean and Protect on the entire interior, sans the steering wheel. This product works SO WELL on my Alcantara, very rewarding to use!

    I finished up with that steering wheel, reached for Geist leather conditioner and I'm REALLY liking this product for leather What did you do today, in regards to detailing? I applied some on the d/s leather bolsters for obvious reasonsWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Now...I can relax in the A/C What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Playing around with a new product sent to me. It’s pretty good.

    Fwiw ill have a better gauge on the ceramic sealant after i use it on an entire vehicle. But the little bit i used on the hood was very nice. Slick, easy on/off. Was used in partial clouds, panel was a warm but had no streaks! Personally that has been one of my biggiest issues with other ceramic sealants.

    Also wiped down the jeeps interior/door jams with adapt.

    So far really impressed with all three products. Only time will tell but, might become a staple on my shelf.

    Nice man. I have fellow subscriber to my channel and he reached out to me telling me how good both products are. He topped the ceramic sealant after the first wash with Amplify.

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

    Car was clean before the rains last night. So, this morning, I blotted it off and used some Pinnacle waterless for the remaining spots. I forgot how nice it is to use as a waterless and rinseless. On the upper rear quarter panel, I noticed that I missed removing the second layer of FK1000p I applied last week. It came right off, no issues.

    After I have some more coffee, I may spruce up the interior a bit.

    So far what little time ive had with it id have to say i agree with guz.

    Personally i would order a bottle. Might as well get amplify and adapt while your at it lol.

    Adapt worked really well for a glass cleaner as well. Ya ever have that dragging feeling on your mf/ glass towel when cleaning glass with a dedicated glass cleaner? Theres no dragging feeling with adapt. Just spritz your towel,then wipe glass. After that flip your towel to dry side and go over once more. It truely is a very versitile product

    Can wheel cleaner be diluted or is it ment to run how its bottled? No mention on the website, thought mabe the bottle might say on it.

    When it comes to wheels/tires, i like a product i can dilute to suite my needs.

    And as for ceramic sealant/amplify, im gonna get out and get some more trigger time with them today as the incoming rain is pushed till tomorrow. Buick will get an entire application of the ceramic sealant. Not many products get me that excited to get out and use lol

    Got a guy at work that i recomended the sealant to based off your review of it, but he wanted me to test it out first before he ordered any. No doubt he'll be placing an order.

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

    Washed the wife’s QX30, we got it about 8 months ago, feels like a go kart it’s so small…but very peppy!

    I haven’t done much to it since we got it, been on the fence with ceramic or sealant. I did finally break down a couple of weeks ago and clayed it since the paint felt like sandpaper even without the baggy, topped it with 303 Graphene for now.

    Today was just the basic wash with GG Brilliant Wash and Breakbuster on the tires and wheels.

    Also hit the Acura afterwards, same process and products…neither car was too dirty but then again they never are!



    I’ll hit the tires later, it’s too damn hot right now!

    BH Wheel followed by TWHS Wheel + Tire foam

    303 Ceramic Spray Sealant on the wheels

    Ethos Foam Party with a splash of BH Touchless for a pre-wash

    Incredible Suds for the wash (after this and the above my driveway looked like the aftermath of a foam party)

    303 Graphene Tire Gloss

    CarPro Clarify on the windows with their window towel (really like this towel)

    PA Color Charged Cosmic Spritz just as a standalone and over old protection (the PA bespoke wax). I don't expect it to last the stated 4-6 months as a standalone as a result of it being a topper, just couldn't wait to use it! The whole thing about wearing gloves with it is definitely true... can't wait to see it in 24hrs now. If it ends up playing nicely with the PA wax, that's just a bonus but no issues with application. Another easy to use and forgiving PA product!
