    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Two days ago I washed my car for the first time in a month. It was much needed. The backseats had ice cream drippings from my kids, the entire car needed a vacuum, the wheels were filthy, and birds think my car is their bathroom. The paint is coated w Blackfire Black Edition Pro Ceramic and...

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    So this is a funny one. Yesterday I set up an inflatable pool in the backyard for my kids. My backyard is sloped but 5 years ago we had a 18x6 square leveled out for a swing set. They have outgrown it and wanted a pool. I put in for a permit to get an inground pool last summer but it was...

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    My son and I remounted the cross overs from our component speakers, installed new carbon fiber tweeter covers, installed sound deadening (hush mats - black in color) in the door and a foam baffle behind the door speakers of our 350z. Had the parts for 2 years but just never got around to it...

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    I think the new Z will sell well. The reason the 370 sales dwindled so much this past year was because there was no stock. If I was looking for an entry level sports car I would certainly consider it. However, I’m happy w my Z :). I just wish I had time to drive it more.

    does anyone keep a jump starter in their vehicle(s)?

    I keep one in my Minivan at all times. For some reason it drains battery often in the winter. Probably because of remote starter. It has saved me many times. If I am taking a long road trip, regardless of which car I’m driving, I will take it w me as well. Mine is a cheapo $60 duracell unit...

    Is it possible to clean with just a foam cannon soak and rinse?

    From my experience you cannot get away with just a foam wash. I use a foam wash as a prewash just because I like to see the bubbles. I have 2 cars that are garage kept at all times and 2 that are in the driveway. The garages cars can get away w it but I know they are not 100% clean. The...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Had a 65 degree day yesterday and the car’s last shower was back in October or November. Work’s been overwhelming lately and so I had to just take a break for a couple of hours. I figured what better way than by washing the car. Foam bath - just what the Doctor ordered :). Last May I...

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    I setup my new iphone 12 Max pro. I had a 4 yr old iphone that the camera finally failed on. Otherwise I’d still have it and I wouldn’t spend a dime on a new phone. Speaking of spending money - this thing was $1300 - I could of bought a new gaming pc w that kind of money. Or some car mods. Or...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Had a little time tonight so I installed my carbon fiber mirror caps on the 350z. I bought these for myself as a birthday gift earlier this month. I like the fit and the quality of these are pretty good. I purchased on Instagram and it was better than what people on ebay sell. I’ll have to...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    This weekend in the ny tri state area is in the 50s. It might be the last weekend to wash the cars before the Winter makes it too cold. We have a Storm coming this week - supposed to be about 8” of snow. Today I washed my 2012 Honda Odyssey. First wash in about 5 months. Only thing I didn’t...

    My experience w BF Ceramic Pro Black Edition

    I’d just like to say that Andre at Autogeek stepped up and sent me a brand new bottle of Blackfire Ceramic Pro Black Edition along with replacement microfiber towels and foam applicators. Not a lot of companies would do that and would instead blame it on user error. He also spent about 20...

    My experience w BF Ceramic Pro Black Edition

    Thanks Andre. I really appreciate the offer. I will call you tomorrow for sure. Also, I believe I removed the previous coating completely. I iron x’d it, washed w clean slate, clayed, rewashed, and noticed water still beading up. The claying didn’t really affect the Cquartz uk which was a...

    My experience w BF Ceramic Pro Black Edition

    I’ve had the same experience as you w UK 3.0 and other coatings. They have flashed slower in cooler temps. The 1 min or less was not what I expected. Also, the reason I left it on for 5 minutes is because thats how long it took to start sweating. On subsequent panels i didn’t allow it to...

    My experience w BF Ceramic Pro Black Edition

    Its possible that maybe it doesn’t need such a long working time. However that kills the benefit of being able to do a whole panel at once. Thats one of the reasons I picked this coating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
