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

    It's been a couple days since the g/f's Cruze has been washed, so I decided to get after it this eveningWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I decided to do a RW on it, used P&A Absolute (2 oz to 3.5 gallons of water) 2BM. For the drying aid, per Guz's video today about Ech2o, I used IT as a drying aid and for anyone who hasn't done this....DO ITWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    After each panel I used Ech2o (15:1 ratio) after it was cleaned but still wet and my God does it finish down nice and smooth...and G L O S S YWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I used some of the leftover to rinse down the tires and wheels and wipe them clean, just so everything was on the same pageWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I poured out the rinse water and then transferred the used P&S Absolute to the rinse bucket and filled the solution bucket w/ 3.5 gallons of water for tomorrow's RW on the EN, I've got an entire day to decide upon which RW I'm usingWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    It’s been while since I bought something. I haven’t used a dedicated window cleaner and grabbed this. Thought it worked great.

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

    Cleaned all my trim panels up. Wiped them off with a damp microfiber I soaked in water to get the majority of the grungy dirt and stuff. Then used mckees 914 at 12:1 and a clean microfiber and went back over to get the remaining streaks and whatever was left. All ready to go back in.

    Then washed all the tan trim parts that hold the headliner and masked off the needed pieces and prep wiped them with acetone 2 times and sprayed them with dark pewter color matched paint from dashskin. Came out awesome.

    Forgot 2 parts…the mounts that hold the visors. I disassembled the visors and forgot to paint them and I’m out of paint so I’ll have to get another can.

    Also test fit all door panels over the sound mat and trimmed where needed. Installed rear door panels and tomorrow will be fronts once i get speaker brackets,baffles and speakers in…correct brackets and baffles showed up at about 6:30.

    Factory A pillar trim compared to freshly painted color matched trim that used to be tan.

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

    This evening the EN got a RW (might be a "cure" for the touch-free wash) and today I chose DIY Detail RW and Veros graphene Detail spray for the drying aid, oh yeah Alien What did you do today, in regards to detailing? Kleen in my IK Foam 1.5 for the tires & wheels (just foamed all 4, let dwell and rinsed away) and same product for the wheelwells but in an old TWHS Hyper Foam bottle.

    I must say this combo, just like what I used on my g/f's Cruze last night, did a great job...I love G L O S S What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Now I'm going to cool down by running her Cruze through the touch-free wash, might as well use it, it's there AND I can cool downWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

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

    First wash in awhile. Unusually slow workday so I decided to try the afternoon wash. I should wait about another hour next time and I'll be 100% out of the sun.

    Most of the stuff I used is from out of the UK. However, I continue to really like Armour Detail's Tire +

    It's been awhile since I've been able to get out and clean up a vehicle and it's nice to know I still have two days to do the other one if I please... What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    To top it off, got inside and ESPN Ocho had Pillow Fighting Championships ... might be time for a career change What did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

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

    Finished putting the truck back together. Then proceeded to clean the glass with megs D120, and wiped the interior down with megs D149…almost out so need to order an interior cleaner/protectant.

    What should I go with I’m not in love with the D149

    Then went and drove the truck and man is it so much quieter
