Used Car Guys Super Clean to clean the plastic front bumper on my truck. I then applied Meguiar’s Ultimate Black plastic restorer-3 applications. I’ll be curious to see how long it holds up. I started on the drivers side and will finish the passenger side tomorrow.
Cleaned and polished license plate cover on one of our vehicles. This is not a very good picture because of the sun behind me but it turned out crystal clear.
The day after I brought it home a couple months ago. I knew it needed tires so I painted the wheels and bought new tires the next day. Then the fun began...
Finished my engine bay detail. I see a couple places that need attention however I think it turned out OK. You would never guess it has 410,000 miles on it.
Spent 3 hours prepping for my engine bay detail tomorrow. Removed battery and cleaned and while I had it out I thought this was an opportune time to clean the battery post and terminals. I also gathered the tools and products I thought necessary to complete the job. I also cleaned and sealed...
I received this last week and have already used it. It works great! Minimum vibration, visible speed change dial, trigger lock and comes with 3” and 2” backing plate. In addition, it seems to have plenty of power.

I then used a Dremel mandrel and polishing...

Polished the front fender on my ‘08 Tacoma. Yes it’s not perfect however it’s much better. There are some imperfections in the paint but I will address those later.
Swapping caps on detailing products
I like the Collinite#845 and am using it after polishing on the 2008 Tacoma I recently purchased. I have used it before and was reminded how difficult it is to dispense the proper amount.
I was about to order a dispenser bottle with a flip up cap when...
My wife cooks the best SOS. My first meal in boot camp (Navy) in May of 1969. I like it better now than I did back then. FYI, SOS is short for Slop On a Shingle. That’s not what it was called in the military but I’m keepin’ it clean.
