It’s been a long time since I detailed my car. Holidays, bad weather, illness, and family commitments have kept me from detailing for a couple of months.
Finally, I felt well enough, had the time, and the weather could not have been better. The car actually wasn’t too dirty as I recently broke down and had someone else wash it for me.
Process:
Wheels have a coat of PB Wheel Sealant so they were not too dirty. That PB Wheel Sealant is awesome! I used a black Schmitt, EZ Brush, Meg’s Tire Brush and a bucket of Duragloss Shampoo.
Before:
After:
Washed the car with DP Extreme Foam in a Foam Gun with a white/yellow Schmitt. Dried with the Leaf Blower + Air Wand.
DP Extreme Foam:
A few areas needed some clay. I didn’t have time enough to do the entire car so I just hit the bad areas. I used Poorboy’s World clay & PB Spray & Wipe as the lube.
I then broke out the UDM and started out with a grey LC CCS pad and Clearkote Red Moose Machine Glaze (RMG). Halfway through I switched to a blue pad that I think worked better than the grey.
I started out thinking I’d top with Souvern Paste wax. Then thought I might try Natty’s Blue as I had not used that in a long time. But, as it turned out, it got so late that I topped it with Souvern Spray Wax.
The tires were finished with Pinnacle Black Onyx and the wheel wheels with No Touch spray.
Windows were washed with Diamondite. The interior got a quick wipe down with PB Natural Look except for the seats that got Pinnacle Leather Cleaner & Conditioner.
It felt so good to use the UDM and my stuff to detail the car. I wanted to dress the trim but ran out of time. It was a great day!
