I use GG Leather Care lotion ( more concentrated than spray), which you could dilute some if needed, but a little goes quite a ways. I may need to try the McKee's
I agree - seen some really great detailing on the vehicles but then you look at the tires, and say what?? "C'mon man" Looks like 2 different people worked on the car.
If I may state two components of my "favorite" part of your waxathon: 1) as an engineer I really like to follow the discipline you had to and continue to follow in order to create a path forward of...
Holy beadsalicious - Son1c what a jouney! Your tenacity and perseverance will pay off. I know I'm late to this game but if I could get onto the end of your sample list I'd love to try some of your...
Wow - haven't heard that name in a long time - Astro Shield! I used it for a while also and it was very good, along the lines of a very durable, glossy sealant-type of shine. That was around the time...
The soak technique makes good sense and I'll definitely use that next time it happens (hopefully not first thing in the morning when I'm already late for work!). Also need to store a bottle of ONR...
Thanks guys - I actually did buy a cquartz kit, but it being January the temps on the days off I've had weren't above 60* per the minimum temp application requirements. There is no underhood...
Very happy owner of a 2 week old 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman (a blast to drive!). Spent the first 3 days detailing it: Dawn dish detergent full wash; complete interior vinyl and leather treatments; a...
Dang I ate too much!!!! My Mom is here and here pies (and everything else she cooks) are just incredible..... Hope everyone else (OK, those Canada types had their T-Day a month earlier...) had a...
Hey guys - thanks for the responses already and it being Turkey Day and all! MJ - I have used Optimum Spray Wax (and ONR) and I have to agree it is a pretty amazing shine for a quick spray wax! I...
I'm actually getting a new vehicle WOOT!! Sadly sold my restored 1966 F100 so got the OK to go with a "new" but fun ride, so MINI Cooper S Clubman it is. It will get here just before Christmas. And...
Well, I have a blister on my thumb if that says anything :) The Meguires Ultimate Compound is a very nice product - thx Mike for the suggestion. But I still had to "scrub" the front fascia with the...
Thx Kristopher - I use ONR also... Yes, I did work the clay bar (really like the one by Griots), and then I spent well over an hour of DA'ing the front fascia with swirl removers, so I don't believe...
All - thanks for quick responses. Hi Mike! Thank you for taking the time to give me your thoughts on this. I did read that Diamondite Bug Eraser article and trying not to think for the worst case....
These forums are a great resource - I've learned alot (but obviously not enough!). I just picked up a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and last weekend was warm enough in NC to do a fairly robust detailing...
