What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Time to get the summer tires ready. Tomorrow I’ll coat them with DP wheel coating. While you’re reading this, should I polish them first? I already used iron X and washed.

Switched out my winter wheels and tires for some new tires and OEM wheels on my wife’s Miata. It changes the look and feel of the car and I’m happy to get the winter setup off even if that means we aren’t quite out of it yet. Anybody from the Midwest knows cold snaps and snow can come well into May.

UPS guy comes in the office this AM and announces “UPS.” I then remembered yesterday’s 25% off sale...:cry:

Guess who totally brain farted yesterday and did NOT place an order? ��

At lunch time I cleaned two bird bombs off of the roof of the SS. When I got home tonight I tossed that towel plus the ones from this past weekend into the washer. I had chicken for dinner as my revenge for the bird bombs.

3D Kleen is all I've been using for years, it's also very cost effective, no brainer IMO

With that flash sale, I have on the way is FK1000p and Collinite 476s. Super excited to try these out. I feel I have been missing out on these two for a long time seeing all the rave reviews!

Both are forum favorites but I can only talk about #476. Before I got fully 8nto coatings it was my "go to" when entering winter driving season and it never let me down...ever! The "thin is in" applies here but do yourself a favor and apply 2 coats, I mean it is called double coat after all, LOL. IMO I'd apply it to the entire car and THEN remove, do the glass too, GREAT product

Was detailing and this little man walked up to me and asked if he could help. He was working up to buy some shoes. So I told him yes and I let him help me detail two cars.

So did you help him get the shoes he wanted?

No I didn't go out and buy the shoe but I paid him enough for him to go out himself an get them. It means more for him to walk in the shoe store and buy them himself after working hard. I can tell he will be a businessman.

Minerigger- Ouch! Is that pretty normal for Wyoming? I feel like Chicago area can get a freak snowfall once or twice a winter like that, this year we contended with some of the coldest record temps in a while though!

ClearVue18- Man that’s awesome! Both the kid asking to help and work and you supporting him! Good on you for allowing him to work and I honestly feel you did a heck of a lot more for him in return!

Fly07sti- I got a little bit of a twisted sense of humor. The question you asked to ClearVue18 got me thinking.. kid wanted to work to make money ans buy some new shoes. He only asked to “help to buy some new shoes.” I’m not saying ClearVue is a jerk but what if he didn’t even pay cause the kid was just” asking to help” and not specifically asking to be “paid to help!?”
 
I talked to him just like one of my kids. He's in a bad area. So the fact that he is 10 years old and already has that work epic is amazing. I talked to him about managing his money and him owning a business in the future. I told him to stay in school and stay focus. If he wants to be a detailer then study and learn the craft.....Perfect it. I'm the only high end detailer that is willing to drive and work in that area. He was super interested in learning. That little boy made me mancry for a min lol (mancry is crying with a straight face and only from the inside)
