    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Actually yesterday, but did a Blackfire waterless wash on my car and applied some UFF on my wheels and the painted surfaces under the hood to see how that works out for the winter. Also included a night shot of my hood since I did some correction with D166 the other day due to some random light...

    New Car First Detail Process - Fill in the blanks

    The process sounds good and the Meguiar’s UFF is a good choice, you really can’t beat it for the price. I’ve only had it on for a month so I can’t comment on longevity but it does bead extremely well and rain flies off once I start driving. Makes my waterless washes pretty easy. Just don’t go...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    No pictures but I was able to get some swirls out of the corner of the hood on my car. I usually have an issue correcting on my paint since it's so hard but I used Meguiars D166 and a GG 6.5" orange foam pad and my HF DA on speed 5 and got great results after 2 quick passes. I think I like D166...

    How best to wash and protect for a lazy guy with no garage?

    Waterless washing is the quickest for me and also leaves behind a solid level of protection. I usually use either Meguiars UWWA or Blackfire waterless on my car. My car is sealed and has solid protection so I'm not sure about longevity with the Blackfire, but the Meguiars is excellent for what...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Just did a waterless wash with Blackfire. I’m really impressed with the Meguiar’s UFF that’s on the car. Not only it’s protective qualities but it really brings out the metallic flake. Needed a shadow to get a reflection. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wash, Clay and Seal on 2019 Jetta SE

    My father picked up a new 2019 Jetta SE about a month ago and I finally had a chance to really clean up the car after the dealer “detailed” it for delivery. I forgot to check the build date so I’m not sure how long it was sitting but it was covered in stains, some protective wrap and adhesive...

    Quick Detail - 2016 Golf Sportwagen S

    I keep my car pretty clean considering I don’t have time anymore for weekly washes so correction wasn’t really needed. I actually had extra time this weekend to give the Meguiar’s Ultimate Fast Finish a try, shine my tires (Meguiar’s Endurance Tire Gel) and wipe down the engine bay. Washed first...

    Scratches in Plastic Cladding

    Well I gave it a quick shot today. The whole trim piece is about $130-140 so it didn’t make sense to go with expensive products. I got a bottle of Mothers Back to Black. Cleaned the area, sanded the deeper gouges slightly to get the rough and hanging pieces of plastic off and reattached the...

    Scratches in Plastic Cladding

    Thanks Mike, I’ll take a look. I’m a huge fan and have been reading and watching your stuff for years. I’m pretty good with paint correction and care, it’s the other stuff I’m starting to work on. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Scratches in Plastic Cladding

    Thanks to both of you. I guess I’ll just reattach the smaller bottom trim and go with some trim restorer. It’s low enough that it shouldn’t be terribly noticeable once I use the dressing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Scratches in Plastic Cladding

    Hi, I’ve never worked with repairs on this type of material before and could use some pointers. How would you approach the scratches in the picture? This is on my mother in laws 2016 Cherokee which has a grayish matte finish on the plastic. I’ve never had a car with these so I have no idea how...
