What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[Tasmania]

I cleaned the engine bay on the FJ today . I used Bowden's Orange Agent with a soft wheel brush and a small detailing brush. Dried it with the Bigboi. I didn't dress it though, it's too windy to spray Hyper Dressing without getting overspray everywhere.

I do it every time I notice it, but the extra accessories wired in there means it no longer locks in place properly. The led lightbar, fog lights, and relay for the air horn all required extra connections.

Finishing up this full detail today. The only finishing left to do is having to re wash it due to all the ash left everywhere after last night… Anyways, my neighbor who works in the auto body business came to chat about this van yesterday and asked if it’s a garage queen and I said nope, I’m pretty certain it’s not and actually lives outside [I’m nearly 100% certain based on the fact the owner literally washed it just before dropping it off to me because he said it was super dirty]

My neighbor was pretty shocked because according to him these type of colors used on this van are very prone to fading rather quickly with prolonged exposure to the sun. He said man if this van lives outside that means they used some damn good clearcoat.

Makes sense, because I know from having polished & detailing it about 3 times now that it’s a damn good paintjob and also the paint is hard as hell. So hard that I’ve never even really attempted at fully correcting the hood to a complete swirl free finish. Megs D300 w/microfiber pad bearly touched the deeper scratches on the hood. Fortunately that’s the only panel with those sort of deeper swirls, but with it being yellow you really have to look for them.







I polished the chrome wheels by hand using steel wool. Much improved. Satisfying results especially for the effort put in.



My cat staying cool watching in the shade. Lol.




Btw does Cancoat work good on chrome wheels?

You remind me of one of my boater customers at the marina I worked at forever, Dave. 19 hot leads on one post.

Run ONE hot lead over to a positive buss bar for Christ's sake!!

I’m really happy I grabbed a gallon and a free 16oz (Adam's Graphene Tire) A couple sales ago. And I need to find where I bought this sponge because I want a couple more.
