    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Hi Klasse. We ordered a 2020 GLC43 in Blue. Got every option except the performance seats. We wanted the bigger GLE53 which replaces our current GLE 43 but that won’t be released til much later this year. So we got the smaller GLC but we should be ok w it in terms of size. We have a minivan...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Thank you very much. Really appreciate that. My wife always says whomever gets our cars after us is very luck because I take real good care of them cosmetically and mechanically. I have the rim and tire protection and recently got all the rims refinished that needed it so that the next owner...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Gave my wife’s car it’s last wash. Gonna miss it. This car performed well in all conditions, had power to spare for our needs, sounded amazing and was a head turner. I never saw another in 3 years exactly like ours. I thank it for being a good car to my family. It goes back on lease this...

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    Changed out the battery on my minivan. Been sitting for a few weeks so it needed to be done. It’s been a good car to me since day 1. It will be 8 yrs old in a few weeks. Also tried to run all the gas out of my snow blower before I ruin another carb. Not fun to replace that part. Will...

    Stimuls check

    I’m pretty sure that what was meant by extending the quarantine is that now all these people went out and possibly spread or caught it which in turn will extend the quarantine because they will not have contributed to blunting the virus. Rights are important of course. So is common sense...

    Stimuls check

    I wanted to mention a few more things - I have continued to support my local businesses and restaurants as much as possible although I am sure my gasoline station misses me, lol. I worked in NYC when 911 happened. I had just left my job at WTC a year before the attacks. My wife had just...

    Stimuls check

    Ttq - I understand your point. My wife is also an attorney and although still working remotely and collecting her salary she has elected not to take her commissions at this time so that the firm she works for can stay afloat and keep everyone employed. Hopefully other attorneys consider the...

    Topper?

    I'll prob catch heat for saying this but if you want gloss and something that's safe to use on top of your coating, why not try bead maker? Its not expensive and looks real good.

    Ordered next car

    Merlin, that's a good point as to why the dealer would not want to hand the car over dirty. Never thought about it from that perspective. Ousudelt69 - I do like this dealership a lot. This wouldn't be car #6 from them if I didn't like them. I'm not too worried about them being less willing...

    Stimuls check

    I agree they had to get it out in a rush. But the two weeks they spent arguing about the dumb crap before finally signing it they could have spent time to make it better. This is a time to put politics aside and take care of your citizens. Not sneak in political agendas or try to win...

    The SECRET to Wet Wash Engine Detailing by Mike Phillips

    Good post Mike. I was expecting to see a bag cover certain components under the engine. Surprised not to see any. I have wet washed the engine bays in my cars in the past and have always had good results. Had my brushes, degreasers, and a bag to cover the areas I felt had exposed electrical...

    Stimuls check

    I don' know why people that are employed are receiving stimulus checks. Especially if they are banking it (not stimulating the economy). This should really be going to people that need it to survive due to being unemployed. I just don't agree w the way the money is distributed. I know...

    2019 AMG C43 Spring Detail

    Nice job and I really like the color. Glad you are enjoying the car. I got a 2020 in March and it only has 500 miles on it of which I only put on half. My wife did the other half. We haven’t gone out since coronavirus shutdown so it just sits there.

    Ordered next car

    So the car arrived today at the dealer and they already did me the “favor” of cleaning it up. W the craziness of the pandemic I forgot to tell them not to clean it. Oh well, since I can’t coach soccer on the weekends right now I guess I will have plenty of time to detail it. I’m honesty...

    Help pick two coatings

    I use and have used both CQuartz UK 3.0 and Optimum Opti-Gloss. I would say that Opti-Gloss is more pleasant to work with because it doesn't have that extremely strong chemical odor. From a performance perspective, my CQuartz UK 3.0 installation is too new to see what durability will be but I...

    How much work is it worth?

    I’m in the same boat. Since car (2017 gle43) goes back on lease very soon will guinea pig w it. I dont know why but a few hears back i purchased perfect finish. It only came in a big bottle. I don’t regret the purchase, just the size as its more than a weekend warrior needs. Haven’t used it much...
