Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
After about 11 hours of work this car is done. One coat of CSL with EXOv5 as a top coat.
I'm finding that word of mouth is the most powerful advertisement you can "pay" for. This customer was referred to me by my first coating customer whose vehicles I coated in August of last year. After doing this Volvo he's bringing me his 4 Runner for the same treatment and after he does a little work to his Land Cruiser that's coming my way as well. If this keeps up I can finally realize my dream of being an exterior only detailer.

Yeah, exterior is the only way to go, other than a light spruce up of the interior

Hearing stories of what detailers find from random people's interiors... no thanks

These days the only reason I get on the inside of a customer’s car is to drive it in and out of my garage.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
The FJ only had light dust spots, so I thought I'd try a home touchless wash. I didn't feel like getting the pressure washer out, so I used the cheap foamer that attaches to the hose directly, filled with NV Snow at about 1:10. It was very liquidy, as expected, but with plenty of foam. I then rinsed and moved it back inside to dry it with the big boi, which actually took longer than washing it due to the size of the FJ, and how many nooks and crannies it has. After taking the third pic I noticed some water streaking left behind, and some dirt marks on the black trim, so I ended up going over it lightly with Ech2o, nice clean MF for the paint and glass, and an old used one on the black trim. So not a completely touchless wash, but almost.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Ordered cquartz lite for my next LSP, and a bottle of Gyeon Prep. Will apply without polishing due to time constraints. Will use Kamikaze Cleansing as my prep.
I guess I’m becoming a Carpro fan as I keep going back to certain Carpro products- Reset, Descale and Ech20 primarily. Figured I might as well use their Can Coat equivalent to keep it all within the brand lol.

Love your FJ Big Dave. I thought about getting one at one time but they were hard to come by.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Wiped a big ole bird bomb off the driver's door of my Edge. I broke my wrist last week, so I can't do a proper wash. I used Griots Brilliant Finish rinseless to gently wipe the door down.
I only did the window, door and hood because hood had small turd on it as well.
I'm not happy about only doing the 2 panels, but didn't want to let the bird goo sit on the paint for too long.
