What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Gave the GLI a mid-week bath with ONR and the BRS. Really like this combo, I'm surprised I slept on the sponge for so long. Went around with Ech2O 15:1 as a detail spray. I tried using P&S dream maker on the hood but... meh. It's oily and smeary on a coating. Maybe I'm not using it right but for this case, Ech2O just can't be beat. IG link below, not sure if that's allowed here but eh watch if you please :laughing:

As soon as the weather breaks I'll do a full write up, story of how it came to be and pics I've been laughing at the exhaust system everyday, well when I've got it in N mode anyways️

And that sends it off to a blackhole...you never know if/when they'll actually try.

Their email list updates are hilarious and better than any news or weather channel. Essentially, if anything ever happens in the US, FedEx will email you notifying of potential delivery delays due to said event. Current events/weather are their permanent excuse for their ineptness.

Sorry, no pics, I was in a hurry

I got a break in the wind this morning so I started a wash on my little car so I could get it all set up and covered because we will be gone for a few months

I foamed it without rinsing and my foam slid off twice as fast as normal

I will say after a pressure rinse it looked at least as clean as a rinse, foam, rinse cycle and saved a step and some water

I’m not sure what the deal was with the foam sliding off so fast

It stayed in mounds around the car for the rest of the wash

I will try this again in the future and see if the results are the same

I did a multi mitt one bucket wash and a final rinse

I blew the wheels out and pulled into the work side of the garage and blew off what I could

I grabbed TWWW without thinking and spritzed the first few panels

Epic fail, this car hates that stuff

I knew better but spaced it out

I tried my new Feynlab Pure Rinseless in a QD strength sprayer and it took the WW off no sweat

I got back on track with OCW and got it blown out and dried

I pulled the battery terminal and got the car cover on and put her to bed for a few months

The last time we went to Alaska for 2 months we came back to Hawaii 11 months later

I’m washing the truck this weekend hopefully but I’m not covering it

Hope I don’t regret it

No, it’s got Megs HCW on it and it absolutely hates the TWWW

When I get back the Megs is coming off and the Griots 3-1 is going on

The Megs is 6-7 months old and still strong although the car is garaged and hasn’t had more than 300 miles put on since it got here last July

It also gets OCW at every wash which is every other week or so

I am looking forward to the Griots

My truck needs stripping as well but not sure what to use

I’m thinking of 3D Bead it Up or ????

In the name of science and stuffs

Nice. One i woulda got if it was out when i got my adams. I got for really cheap though and it’s actually really nice. Just like the wheel stops better on tge Griot’s
Cell phone pocket was smart.

Other than that the both seem really similar.

First up, congrats to Klasse for the new ride, can't wait to see the pics, I'm betting you're more eager to get it down to your favourite piece of tarmac though.

No work done on the FJ, still raining every day at the moment, but the Qashqai needed some minimal attention after having school pick up duty a few days this week. Cleaned 3 doors with NV Boost.

Has anyone managed to successfully get family members to stop using greasy fingers straight on the door to close it, I keep telling them to push on the textured window frame, and yet the finger prints keep appearing. First world problem, I know.

When you park somewhere, keep the doors locked and tell them..."hey guys rememeber when you get out to shut the door by pushing on the window frame".

Its like with anything....repitition is key. Before ya know it they will be reminding you to do it lol.

Mtm foam cannon with TW Pure Slick&Slide. On the tires and wheels I used Meguiars Ultimate wheel cleaner along with Speedmaster short wheel brush. For the wheel face and tire I used Mother's red brushes. To dry, I applied Adam's Ceramic Boost. Not to bad a condition for a 2006

Today's plan went not at all as planned. But I've bought way too many things all winter so it all worked out in the end:

Plan was to try out Bilt Hamber Touch-less, and then do a simple follow-up with TAC System Shinee Wax. As I was getting everything ready I opened up my TAC wax and it reeked of rotten eggs. I let it air out some and checked again, checked 3 or 4 more times. Still rank. If I hadn't known exactly where the smell was coming from, I may have left my house and called 911. It was THAT bad. Luckily, it was just a few weeks old and the customer service from where I bought it was as concerned and as accommodating. I'll have a new bottle in a week or so.

So I planned to skip the Shinee and use my next new product Nextzett Perfect Shine. I already had TWHS Graphene Paste Wax on the car so no big deal to change it up and toss on a topper as we push through the last 2 months or so of possible snow. Nextzett is compatible with everything it seems.

After using the BH Touch-less and then some Auto Fanatic snow foam though, I'd say my water beading was gone and the surface felt like the protection was gone. Change-up #2! I dug into my winter stash of purchases and used a cleaner Soft99 Wax to see if it would fill-in some extremely hard to find scratches from the winter. TBD on that until I can get it back to the right lighting to see but either way, the car turned out great! I still went over it with Nextzett Perfect Shine but overall, very happy and should be OK until the big summer clean-up in May(ish).

BH Touch-less: Probably my fault if it stripped and I don't care to be honest. I enjoy trying out all my new products. The product itself is great. It was even forgiving in the sun and that is needed in Colorado. Impossible to get away from sunshine here - even when it snows. I used about 140ml on 3600ml and in a foam sprayer. It also may be my fault for going around the car twice instead of saving some for tomorrow's vehicle. I'm definitely happy I finally took the plunge with BH.

I also opened up my Opti-Clean tire gel & P&S Brake Buster. The brake buster was great - got some brown on what was probably a pretty clean wheel/tire by many standards. TBD on the tire gel but as of right now it is just another tire gel. That said, it did not take two coats to get to a pretty shiny surface. Based on reviews and my limited driving on this car, it'll likely last awhile.

That's exactly what I do when closing the doors. Usually the moldings right below the window.

Took my g/f's Cruze through a great touch-free wash but it was so dirty that it didn't get completely clean so I did a DG WW to the entire car. I also applied a coat of 303 Tire Balm to the tires and used Alien Kleen on the rims. I've gotta say the mf towel DRAGGED across the paint, this car needs a massive detail
