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

    I had a job that got cancelled and I was actually quite happy about it. I really just wanted to chill this weekend and watch a few games.

    Guy called me Friday and needed paint correction done on his Subaru. From the way he talked I had a sneaking suspicion that his needs were beyond my capabilities. He showed up and he must have driven straight from Elm Street because it looked like Freddy has dug his claw into the hood and dragged it all the way across the center of it. I’ve corrected paint but in this situation there was no paint to correct in that area. Referred him to my favorite body shop and went back to enjoying my weekend.

    Just goes to show that what we call scratches and what customers think scratches are tend to be two totally different things.

    Had a PTO day so did a little detailing R&R.

    Was a tough choice between vehicles since they both need it after this weather but happy wife, happy life.

    Got to try a lot of new BF and Christmas purchases at least.

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

    I did a bit of an interior clean up on the FJ today, I removed the front rubber mats and gave them a wipe over with ONR. Then vacuumed the floors and seats, and wiped down all the plastic flooring with ONR as well, the cupholder inserts were then soaked with ONR for a few minutes, before scrubbing with a brush, and wiping dry.

    The dash, doors, and centre console were then wiped over with TWHS Inside Job.

    While I had the rubber mats out I decided to do a patch job on the drivers mat where I've worn a hole with my heel. Originally I was going to cut some rubber and glue it with some epoxy, but then I remembered I had some anti-slip tape, thick heavy duty stuff, so I cut 2 squares and stuck one on either side. We'll see how long it lasts.

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

    After almost 2 wks and lots of snow, sub-zero temps for days in a row, freezing rain and ice I did an INSANITY WASH today after work. Now why was it called INSANITY WASH you may ask, well the roads were wet, melting snow AND it was starting to rain and guess what...I don't careWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing? My subscription is only $23.00 a month and I haven't used it in almost 2 weeks and the EN was so crusty with EVERYTHING Mother Nature could throw at it.

    The temps are going up and up, 50's the following weekend and I'll be out there doing a Ceramic Rinseless Wash from Griot's Garage, haven't used it on my own car but I will...oh I will for sureWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
