What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Cleaned off FOUR bird bombs from the hood of the EN when I got home from work today. I used DIY Detail RW made up as a WW, stuff is really good and will absolutely be replacing my gallon of N914 once it's used up. It's very versatile and I just can't say enough good things about it

Almost SIXTY degrees today, so after work I was off to the touch-free wash. I dried the tires & wheels, car and jams and drove home.

Once home I grabbed Griot's Garage Ceramic Speed Shine and wiped down the EN, including wheel spokes and faces. I then finished it off with some 303 Tire Balm for the tires, tires I can't wait to get off and install the Kona N take offs I bought back in December

How many layers of tire dressing on the Kona N wheels before they’re even mounted.

Very nice here in Chicagoland today, time to REALLY get after it

I did the usual touch-free wash and used my IK Foam Pro 12 filled w/Bilt-Hamber Touchless for the pre-treating, along with TWHS Hyper Foam for the tires and wheels, used 2 brushes to clean them. I dried off the EN at the wash, along with the tires and wheels and headed home.

Once home I took out the 3 WeatherTechs, sprayed them with DIY Detail made up as a WW and let it sit. I then vac'd out the floor and seats, sprayed/wiped in DIY Detail Interior Clean on EVERYTHING, including ALL Alcantara bits, just love that stuff. The DIY Detail Ceramic Interior Coating is doing its job because their Interior Clean was kinda sitting up on top, so had to work it in a bit. That product smells so FRESH

To top it off I finally got to try TWHS Pure Shine...nice knowing you Beadmaker and Dream Maker, it's THAT good It wipes in so nice and easy and makes the paint glossy, no protection, just what the name implies. I hope they offer it up in a gallon, TW is slow to doing such things though

The tires still look good from 303 Tire Balm applied days ago, just a swipe with the towel I used to wipe down the WeatherTechs with DIY Detail WW on it to even them out, it's all good!

Now I'm heading over to my buddy's house to collect my new watch and have him install my interior LEDS as well as license plate LEDS, it's coming together, slowly but surely

I'm still trying to get a sit in one, more curiosity than wanting to buy one, but the local Hyundai dealer is a construction zone, has been since Christmas. They're rebuilding the whole dealership. I just don't know that I could drive a "low" car again, I'd be afraid of breaking bits off it, or bending the wheels, I'm too used to not worrying about pot holes.

Looking good, as usual.

The dealership I bought my EN from is also under renovation too, how ironic.

Ofcoarse it started to sprinkle when I was at my buddy's house, so the interior and trunk LEDS got installed, the license plate LEDS will have to wait till next time. The thing is it wasn't supposed to rain till later, go figure

it's been discontinued... :(
 
The FJ is going in for a service tomorrow, so I gave it a tidy up.

I vacuumed the interior, then wiped down the mats and floor with ONR. The mats are almost 7 years old, they're showing their age.

Checked the engine bay, I only needed to wipe around the edges of the hood, where some dust got in, I used the same cloth that was now dampened with ONR. The Meguiar's Hyper Dressing I sprayed it with a few weeks ago is keeping it looking good.

The exterior looked good, so I just gave it a quick wipe over with Bowden's Boss Gloss. It's been parked in the garage for the last week while I fixed the clear coat failure on the hood.

51 and decent today in PA. Outside for some of that fresh air! Truck got its normal wash and interior. TWHS WET WAX as the drying aid. Duragloss #253 on the tires. Figured the stuff was out, so quick wash on her Escape also.

Here's my honest review of P&S Absolute, as I just used it for the first time today, a beautiful 50+ degree afternoon

I made up a little over 3.5 gallons and 2.5 oz or product, used something similar to the BRS to RW my g/f's VERY dirty Cruze. I did a section at a time and then dried. I dragged my mf towel across each panel, no pressure and it dried perfectly behind each drag, VERY impressive

I saved the left over product to clean the tires and wheels, once again just left them clean, really enjoyed using Absolute

You can see how dirty the Cruze was by looking at the buckets, especially the orange one which was the rinse bucket, then again the tires and wheels took their toll on the level of dirt in the buckets but honestly, the rinse bucket was pretty close after the RW itself, so it does clean V E R Y well

Conclusion...




BUY IT...USE IT...LOVE IT!

Maintenance wash today. Had 2 new tires installed on Wednesday and they left the wheels covered in white grease.

Didn't get 100% of it. Will probably clean them again before putting anything on the tires.

As an ex-tire jockey in a way-past-(college job)-life that white stuff isn’t grease but tire mounting soap. Should come off easily with a damp microfiber. Enjoy the snow traction.

Thanks. Wasn't sure exactly what they use. I'll go back and clean it up with a microfiber. It's really not snowed since I've had snow-rated tires. Maybe I'll find out eventually.

I'm glad you enjoyed using it! Absolute is not a game changer, but it is very pleasant to use.

Now, I just have to hold up the end of the bargain and try ECH20.............maybe tomorrow. :props:
