Double congrats--I'm imagining Opie hanging from one of those Mission Impossible harnesses like Tom Cruise to polish the roof--what did you do up there?

How old is that? Maybe I'm thinking of the Meg's EngineKote(?) that they discontinued 20 years ago.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I have fond memories of Engine Kote especially on wheel wells
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

At least 10 yrs or more I believe, and nope EngineKote was a different product.
I remember when they announced they were discontinuing it a lot of people on this forum raided whatever stock they could find. In my case, a nearby store had it on clearance for $4/can so I bought a bunch.
Requires a bit more prep than HD, but it sure produces a nice result. This should provide a nice base and then use HD for in between deep engine bay details..

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Love the Griots sprays. I also have Speed Shine at the top of my QD list. Smells like the screwball ice cream things I used to get from the ice cream trucks as a kid. Great shine, no issues. I probably never need to look for another QD.
Cool pics with Barry/Mike, Ric! I met Barry in Detroit years ago but I didn’t want to ask for a picture. Kind of wish I would have lol.
Everyone’s cars are looking great. Too cold for me to do anything today.
