What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

More holiday detailing, the Mustang's turn today.



In addition to the exterior wash, I re-dressed the interior with 303 and did the glass all round. The engine bay was also given a wipe over.



The Mustang is such a nice car to detail. The lack of rear doors mean cleaning and drying door jambs is quicker and the black plastic skirting keeps the lower painted panels cleaner for longer.

Two cars done, and finally feeling unwound, doing the other three will be extra blissful.

How do you like those spray bottles?

I quite like them, especially the double action. They also have a nice even spray distribution. And I love how they look.

I have heard the odd negative comment about them but I have not had any issues.
 
That Falcon is too damn cool. I love the color, wheels, and tint. It's perfect.
 
Finally had a moment to put on the truck's winter protection yesterday. Also tried out Blackfires when sealant, it made the wheels really glossy! Let's see how it does with dirt repellency.*if repellency is a word* lol

Every surface on the wife’s car has been cleaned and treated. Today was an engine bay detail and a complete interior detail. Meguiars D101 and 303 were the main products used.
My car songs playlist accompanied me the whole time.

Today's detailing delight was a matter of pure indulgence.





The XR8 was not especially dirty, save for a smudge on the windscreen, but with a freshly cleaned cover and time on my hands, it would have been rude not too wash it. :laughing:

Both my red Fords resting in comfort.

 
Polished (M205) the top on my 2008 Tacoma and then finished with Collinite 845.

 
With my two birds of prey and the pony having been seen to in recent days, it was the big cats turn today.









Like the Falcon, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant was used for protection. Despite needing an hour to set, by the time I had cleaned the interior and washed my pads it was time for the wipe off. I love DGPS and can't quite understand why I stopped using it?

And where was the Rock Star during all these 'detail therapy' sessions? Perhaps, it is his turn next with the oversized daytona speed master brush...

:D :laughing:

The Rock Star doesn't particularly like having a bath so he is happy to leave me to it, as long as he gets a pat and a treat afterwards he is all good.
 
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 buff out a few very light swirls come spring but overall the caps look great to me.

This is the passenger side mirror cap and door. The car hasn’t been washed in months and it has been out a few times so pretty good reflection.

This is the driver side.

Again, very happy w end result. Overall I’d rate these a 9 out of 10 for fit and finish.

PA weather finally broke this afternoon. 40's. Did the usual wash/interior. Paid special attention to flush out the undercarriage. Used degreaser and just a strong jet of water. Another coat of tonneau cover protectant. About 2.5 hours spent on it. It was filthy! Now it's too clean to drive! LOL.

I want a garage that is that big!!!

The size certainly has it's benefits, four cars call this place home.

When the house was built, that front section was originally intended as a BBQ area. My car buying habits put that idea to bed! :laughing:

With the plumbing all set for it to be a outdoor kitchen, having the sink connected last week was relatively easy.

Next on the list, I really need to do something with that floor! :doh:
 
A little bit of a stock take on my polish & sealant towels today.



After sitting at the bottom of the pile for many years now, those yellow Meguiar's towels have finally made their way to the beater pile. That odd white one on the right too. In fact, they were put to use straight away, helping to detail the engine bay of the Jaguar and Ranger.

Regular cleaning and conditioning of light colored leather is not optional but mandatory!



I do this every couple of months, never letting it get to the point where it becomes visibly grotty. I used a couple of Australian market NV leather products that leave the leather looking natural without feeling slick or greasy. I also gave the interior a wipe over with 303.

With a polish and some new sealant the other day, the Jag's looking purrrrrrfect at the moment. :D

I'm interested to hear what you do with the floor. Ours is very similar, it marks very easy, but it's very easy to sweep, so much fur left when the dogs hang out in the garage with me most afternoons.
