What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Back then microfiber towels were non existent, at least to me they were... I also never used to apply any sort of wax or sealant. The 1 time I applied lsp on my 92’ Eldorado after a 3 day 3 step by hand it was some drywash that my brother convinced me was far better than any car wax available because they use that stuff to protect airplanes so I was convinced.

I guess I’m fortunate. My intro to detailing in ~2005 was from my friend who detailed for his own business, and he brought me on and we started doing boats full time.

Lots of meguiars mirror glaze line, so pretty much right out of the gate I was using m83 on a rotary and keeping it protected with m21

My brother used to detail planes... Now he flies them. He flew Dana White to Boston for the Celtics game vs. the Bucks a little over a week ago.

I don't use soap anymore but when I did OCW was my favorite.

I don’t hate all dogs. I like well behaved dogs who are clean. Usually small dogs but there’s some rare large dogs who are like really good dogs... Really good meaning they’re so smart they know that barking at the mailman is stupid and they don’t do it... Which is freakin rare! Lol

Btw my neighbor got rid of his German Shepherd that used to bark all night!

If he had even the slightest idea how to own and/or train a dog, it would have never barked all night in the first place.

There are no "bad" animals. Just POS owners.

Yea I can agree with that.. I’ve gotten dogs to stop barking at my cat and become civil around them.
How do you feel about dogs barking at the mailman? If I had a dog there would be no way he would automatically bark at the mailman everytime he came by for no good reason. We’d have mental war until dog lost over something like that...
 
@PaulMys. Never mind that question. We’re way off topic my friend. Lets get back to detailng related stuff.

Oh, gotcha

I used to be like that but then I found the Worx hydroshot and it opened me back up to the world of traditional, 2BM washes, now I can do what I need to and/or feel like doing

Yeah I just prefer the ease of RW. I'll use my Worx to pre rinse when necessary but I haven't done a "traditional wash" in I don't know how long.

Oh to be young and drop the suspension. Turning 50 this year.. I raise the seat to get in and out...

I find it funny that all the midlife crisis cars like Audi R8, Corvettes, etc, Are also low to the ground, but who the heck can get in and out of them when you’re 55 to 65 years old…

One of my regular customers has an Audi R8, I despise getting in and out of it… or should I say I love getting in and out of it, but my cervical and lumbar spine do not.

Lol yep believe it or not I've never tried. It'll probably be delegated to drying aid duties but I will try it at least once or twice as a RW and WW.

I mixed it 3oz to 3oz to shine supply Clutch in a 32oz bottle and use it as a drying aid. Also an amazing Waterless wash at that ratio. Try it with your favorite sio2 sealant. Want some more info or suggestions look up “Merlin’s elixir”

Yesterday started off with my typical Saturday lawn mowing followed by finally washing up my wife's ride which has been 3 weeks neglected. GYEON's Syncro has been going strong on there for now 13 months and just stated to fail a bit on the rear hatch area. IMO it's likely just the bits of contaminants it needs removed. Overall though, you can still tell the coating is going strong nearly everwhere else. Sheets overall about 75% of what it did last year when new and I'm still VERY pleased with the kit. I'll likely re-do it Syncro again in late June or July.

The Q2 TRIM however still looks and performs like Day 1 and that's awesome considering the location and beating the trim here takes. That's been on since last June. Look at it in these pics as nothing has been done to it except a wash. Kudo's to GYEON for such a great long lasting trim product.

So you use the Worx hydroshot for pre-treating, do you spray down the entire car and then do one panel at a time with your soaking towels I'm kinda thinking you don't because I'd think the product would dry out by the time you got around to the other side of the car, or maybe you just spray more

After two weeks of washing the wife’s Beast and not my SS I got everything ready for a good cleaning: power washer, big hose, buckets, MF wash pads & chemicals. I pulled the SS out in the driveway, hooked up the hose and pressure washer...d*****! It’s raining! Unplug power washer, turn off the spigot, back the SS into the garage and settle in for a rinseless wash. I started by foaming the wheels and tires with Griot’s Surface Prep Wash. Tires got scrubbed and wheels wiped down with assorted brushes and an old MF wash mitt then rinsed.

While doing the right rear wheel I also hit the gashole with foam, grabbed the paint boar’s hair brush and gave it a thorough going over followed by a rinse.

The SS then got rinseless washed using many MF towels in the bucket. Each panel got a quick rinse/presoak using ONR.

Unless the family has plans for me I intend to wash, clay, light polish and coat the SS this coming Friday night, Saturday morning.
