What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[minerigger]

Gave my truck a bath. All those dried on worms were a Biatch to take off...... View attachment 66519

Tried a foam cannon for the first time and used it before my rinseless wash. Not sure if I noticed a difference, I still get about same amount of dirt on my microfiber towels and added a bit of time to my routine.

It’s not really about cleaning. It more added layer of lubricant for the wash mitt. Since I’ve started using one I noticed the wash part goes easier.

If you have wax on it I noticed I wet my car and by the time I eat to other side it’s dry. So I have to water again. Especially if it’s warmer out it can give you enough time to wash entire vehicle before it dries on you. Which saves time in my opinion. Plus, it’s oddly satisfying

Have you thought about just doing a pre-treat with your RW solution, then going to the soaking towels and/or Aqua sponge or BRS for the wash? I mean the later means you need 2 buckets but still.

I use my IK Foam 9 for 2 things, days of dust and/or pollen removal with a foam/soak/rinse or when the car is legit dirty, do the previous and then follow up with a quality 2BM

dilute it 10:1 as a spray wax, it's fantastic. adds a nice glow!

Yes,I have used it as a spray wax and it is great stuff. Can't beat it for the price.

Washed a customers car and prepped it fully so I can begin buffing first thing in the morning.

Pulled that one inside and decided to wash mine since it's been raining every day for a better part of the week.

Lastly, I decided to wash up the Jeep too. Too dark to get a pic of the Jeep but mine is warm inside.....

I usually just prerinse with a worx and spray my RW then go to my soaked MF towels. I tested out the pressure washer + foam cannon before my rinseless to try a "safer" wash since its been longer than i'd like between my washes. Was trying to get rid of the worx.

Are you using your IK FOAM with a rinseless wash? If so, what are you filing it with and what are you rinsing it off with?

Which prewash foam did you use?
And do you use the water pressure from the PW to clean with like you would do a wash with a wash mitt. As you hit with the PW on every part of the paint. IME this is where you have the most cleaning ability from. The prewash foam is a help to get a notch cleaner.

I only use my IK Foam 9 with carwash soap, no RW or WW use there. When I do a RW and I pre-treat I use my 1000 ml Kwazzer, for WW I have a BlackFire hand pump sprayer, that thing is a great value! Also, when I use AMMO NYC Frothe WW, I use his designated foamer just for that. IMO the AMMO NYC Frothe is THE safest WW you can use on the market

How long does it take you to rinse your car with the Hydroshot when you pre foam? How much water does it take to rinse?

I've never timed it but probably a little longer than a hose due to volume but as far as water I'd say about 3 gallons if I had to guess.

Well yeah definitely longer than a hose. Overall though it rinses pretty easily though?

So, I bought Meguiar's hybrid ceramic wax and decided to try it out after watching a few reviews on YouTube.

I only recently picked up an obsession for car care and cleaning, so the car has, unfortunately, been neglected for the better part of a decade.

Anyways, I prepped with tar removal, white spirit based, and following that a two bucket wash. Rinsed and than used Koch fallout remover and a thorough rinse and drying followed.

Used a damp microfiber applicator, put a few sprits of MHCW and applied to the panels, buffed off immediately with edgeless microfiber towels.

The product is not designed, it seems, to be applied that way, as it streaked horribly and required insane amount of elbow grease to level and buff out.

But anyways, after a few hours of hard work I am pleased with the results. The product really does show incredible gloss and shine, and the car looks absolutely fantastic. It especially highlights all the years of neglect, but that is my fault.

So, my mini review of the product is good, all in all. To be fair the product isn't designed to be applied the way I did, which explains the streaking and insane work that went into it.

Attached, before and after shots.

Regards from Iceland.

Thanks!
Toyota Avensis, purchasable everywhere except North America I believe.

I think the closest US counterpart is the Camry which, inturn, is not available in Europe. This was the second generation model of the Avensis, from 2003 - 2009. (Mine is 2008).

The newer models in my opinion (2009 onwards) don't have the same cool exterior as this generation.

Another picture for you.

Car looks great!
I finally got around to applying the Meguiars to my fusion. I also used the damp applicator method, but I applied it to a wet panel, rinsed it off and then dried. This method seemed to work well for me.
