    Re: Greasy Mess from dealer

    I’m sure they mean well. And to someone that doesn’t care (or really, know better), it’s a good enough job. But I think spending the time with it and doing the job properly is why people say “Wow! It...

    Re: Greasy Mess from dealer

    Update: did a little bit of work this afternoon after work.

    Mike, as always, was spot on for the tires. Meguiar’s wheel and tire cleaner full strength, and lots of scrubbing with a tire brush.

    Re: Greasy Mess from dealer

    So they did get the tires. I believe what I’m seeing on the paint is just old, dried tree sap. But the tire dressing definitely did fling up to the paint.

    Interior has been hit too. Leather is...

    Re: Greasy Mess from dealer

    Doh. Yeah, important detail there.

    Yeah, I'm gonna polish it because there are some spots that need it. I would really like to try ceramic coating it just to make future maintenance easier, but...

    Greasy Mess from dealer

    Well, we pulled the trigger and got a new family hauler. 2018 Odyssey in red. I’m actually pretty happy with it since it’s not my daily [emoji23]

    But I need some input. I couldn’t get to them fast...

    Possible mildew in perforated seats

    So long story short, my folks’ F150 Limited got rained on with the sunroof open and now they’re saying there’s a mildew-y smell. Being the Limited, it has perforated front seats for the heat and...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Took the opportunity to wash mine (Mazda) and one-step the wife’s Tucson with BFOS.

    I was pleasantly surprised with how well the Tucson turned out considering it rarely gets washed and has never...

    Re: Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    Thats good to hear. I'm working on a hammered Cadillac CTS so I'm hoping this will do the trick along with the various pads behind it. BF One Step in the wings just in case as well

    Re: 2003 Azure Blue Mustang Mach I

    Looks great Tom! That's a beautiful color that really pops cleaned up.

    Question: what kind of pad did you use to cut with One Step?

    Re: Microfiber cutting pads

    Thanks for the suggestion! How well does Cutmax finish down? I can do two-steps if really need be, but it is a daily so it will continue to get abused.

    And would you suggest the cutting pads or...

    I've got a pretty beat up 2011 Cadillac CTSin black coming my way for a correction. While I'm not looking to get the paint perfect, I want to give it the best I can. I've got an 8mm...

    Finally tackled the rotary marks that were all over my car, courtesy of the dealer.

    All after a good wash of course....
  16. Re: Help me set realistic expectations for myself

    The front end is peppered with rock chips from years of intense highway commuting. Pretty much the A-pillar forward would need a repaint. It's too far gone for polishing. But, everything behind the...
  17. Re: Help me set realistic expectations for myself

    The CTS most definitely is. Black, driven about 600 miles a week (160k on the clock I think), tunnel washes only, and kept outside. Mechanically, it's in great shape. The tunnel washes were never...

    I could use some perspective from an experienced group. I'm about to start polishing for the first time.

    Which springs did you go with? How'd it drive after? I was thinking H&R's with a set of either MRR HR10's or Niche Targas
