    How Agressive can I get with a scrub Ninja - Best Advice for Steering Wheels

    Put a steering wheel cover on that one, get him one of the fat RM Williams leather ones, less than $30 normally, and replace it every year.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I gave the interior of the FJ a tidy up with Nextzett Cockpit Premium. While I had it inside I gave it another layer of Red Mist, I'm still trying to use it up, I'll probably get another application out of it yet.

    How *clean* is your car before a mechanic touches it

    I try to make both vehicles clean and tidy, the Nissan goes to the dealer for service, but still comes back with fingerprints in weird places, and water marks where they've tested the wipers and squirters, at least they don't try to clean it up themselves. The FJ goes to a 4WD place with a...

    You should replace your Cock with a Duck, so you can get up at the quack of dawn. :ROFLMAO:

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    It can be relaxing, depends on what we see on the walk. This was the first time she found out they could run up a tree, she wanted to wait for it to come down.

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I wanted to give the FJ a QD today, maybe something with some added protection, we've got some rain coming in this week, maybe even a rain bomb, or so they're saying on the news. I found something in the shelf when I was reorganising yesterday, Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical, almost gone to, and...

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    I thought about it, but the black smoke tint is sort of like a matt clear, just darker. When I do wash them I'm just going to use whatever car soap I'm using, it's not like they're going to show the brake dust much.

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    I painted them, originally I was going to do gun metal, but decided to go bronze after doing a test on the spare, it's still gun metal. They're basically gold with 3 light coats of black smoke tint sprayed over about 30 minutes. They looked patchy at first, but it evens out as it cures. I don't...

    Yeah I've had people walking past give me a "look" when they have to step over foam that's run down the driveway on to the footpath.
