What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

I ordered a Worx portable vacuum cleaner for my car but I'm sure because it's a new toy I'll find all types of uses for it

No problem but keep me/us posted when you try it as a RW though, I'd love to hear your thoughts I have a gallon of N914 and a 32 oz bottle filled with it as well, so I'll not need anymore N914 anytime soon but because I love Griot's Garage so much the Brillant Finish RW will always be in the collection because its awesome

So it did infact rain last night and I couldn't stand all the dried up water, twigs and those little reddish flowers starting to bud right now all over the car. I added some "Eve's better half" RW to the leftover ECH2O solution from yesterday, topped off the water to 3.5 gallons, threw in 5 mg towels, grabbed my 1000 ML Kwazzer and knocked it out. Now it's all factory fresh with awesome clarity in the paint

I also set the air pressure in my Blizzaks, they've gained some psi with the warmth. Soon enough they'll be swapped out and the ES will look AND handle much better once again

Hung four more LED lights in the garage. Somewhere near 35,000 lumens total if the manufacturer claims are to be believed. My far better half said “wow, it’s too bright in here!” Mission accomplished...for now.

Friday I two bucket washed the SS using Adam’s Graphene Car Shampoo.

Took the FJ to the car wash, to use the high pressure washer to get excess mud off, I still need to give a more detailed 2B wash. Interestingly I got the blue residue left on the tyres again, but only where the mud was stuck to the tyres, not on the mud flaps, or in the wheel wells. View attachment 72929View attachment 72930

Everytime the Qashqai is used to pick up my 5 year old Nephew, it comes back with greasy finger prints around the door handle and on the rear quarter panel. I get the door handle, but why on the quarter panel. Then I watched him, right hand on the quarter panel, left hand on the door handle. The poor little fella doesn't have enough strength, or size, to open the door without using his other hand for leverage. Another job for the Nova Boost.

And yes, that is an old leather lounge reflected in the panel, my dogs like to be comfortable when they sit and watch me detailing. View attachment 72931View attachment 72932

I was correcting and coating the 997 Turbo in the garage and the owner had a few friends over.

My Worx vac was delivered today...quick delivery w/o Prime! I had to try it out right away, so I had my daughter vacuum up the little pebbles she brought in the apartment as well as the corners in the kitchen. Then I went outside and tried it out in the ES. I keep my interior pretty clean but there's always something in a DD and it made quick worx of it (LOL) I tried out the crevice tool and brush attachments, both were very helpful! It came with a battery and the better charger which apparently charges a dead battery in about an hour. With these lithium batteries its said to never let them die completely or leave them on a charger, keep this in mind.

For $100 it worth getting one and small enough to keep in your car/trunk/storage area, what a great tool!

He was actually talking to another guy saying that he made an offer on the property since it hasn’t been in use the past year but they’re holding onto it.

I really like Boost, so easy to use, and works well, doesn't leave any residue, as I've found some other QDs seem to. I also use Nova Lustre, I last applied it to the FJ about 6 weeks ago, seems to be holding up OK on the Silver, but I can't get much longevity with any product on the white roof. Could be because the roof is single stage paint, and it is the roof, so it gets the most abuse from the sun and rain.

Started with the FJ today, used Wheely Clean on the wheels, then a 2B wash with Meg's Gold Class, dried with Bowden's After Glow, and put some 303 Aerospace Protectant on the tyres.

Then moved on to the Qashqai, Wheely Clean on the wheels again, foamed with Snow Job, then used Meg's Gold Class. Dried it with After Glow, moved it back inside and gave it a coating of Concours Nova Lustre.

Then back out after having something to eat, to give the FJ a coating of Nova Lustre as well. And now it's raining.

Combined with walking the dogs, that's 23763 steps so far today. View attachment 72946View attachment 72947View attachment 72948View attachment 72949View attachment 72950View attachment 72951

I'm another NV user too.

I have been using both of their soaps for a number of years now, in fact the pH neutral version is my favorite soap full stop.

Both of their spray sealants are excellent, Nova Jet is my preference for it's easier application. Boost is pretty good too although I don't seem to love it as much as other similar products.

Their leather products, Cleanse and Nourish also get plenty of use.

My favorite product from them though is the tire dressing, Onyx. This is my absolute favorite tire dressing, water based and non-slinging, Onyx seems to apply very evenly with minimal working. Smells divine too.
