What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Chemical Guys are sold here though, LOL

I have had pretty good luck CG microfibers. Their green towels are especially nice and plush and fluffy.

I thought those towels Finick posted are yellow though?? They look yellow in person to me. This could make a good FB post where everyone posts what they see in the pic. LOL.

The newer/unused one definitely seems more orange to me than yellow. The older one that’s been humiliated is a color I don’t think has ever existed before. It looks pretty bad. I think it’s time to retire the older ones, because the fibers are kind matted down and not fluffy anymore.

My step brother gave me a dozen of those green ones they have, and you’re right they’re pretty nice. I have no complaints about these orange ones either, honestly.

I’ll eventually retire the towels, maybe donate a lot of the ones I don’t reach for to a cleaning service (have to look into that) and probably end up mostly just using creature edgeless towels for everything, and maybe scooping up some edgeless 365s to see if I like them.

My eagles will likely either be demoted to engine bay duty or thrown out, and I’m gonna give the minx another fair try, but I suspect it’ll still be a lint monster.

I “detailed” (washed) my dump trailer for the first and probably only time to turn it into a half assed float for my towns 4th of july parade!

The truck got a little love too!

Love the 365’s great for polish and Lsp removal. Creatures are probably my favorites all around. I like the Eagles for rinseless and waterless

I really have grown to like the creatures. They’re just a great “do it all” towel.

I’ve tried so many times to enjoy using my eagles. I’ve never tried them for rinseless/waterless, but I feel like they’d be so damn heavy if they were saturated with rinseless solution.

Granted, since I’ve moved to primarily using the BRS, that’s probably why I haven’t tried them for that.

I have some pearl weave towels I’ve been playing around with as well. Trying to see if I can find a place for them.

Soon it will be time to turn in the company car and this turn in will be perfect. The carpet in the back seat got dirty from tool boxes, parts, catalogs, suitcases and various other things. Wolfgang carpet & upholstery restorer, a small brush and a white towel solved the problem.

I observed paint on various cars at Rise and Drive C&C @ Collectors Car Garage this morning, enjoy:

Mr. Paul, I learned something today about the SS that I didn't know, front Brembos I knew about but standard calipers on the rear, I thought they only cheaped out on the Regal GS

Detailed the engine bay in my 2006 Mazda MX5 GT. It’s been a garage queen most of it’s life so it wasn’t too bad.

Maybe on the 14-15 MY, but mine has Brembo brakes front :

and rear:

GM did cheap out on some real stupid s***. Sunroof has one touch open. To close it you have to hold the button. No USB or power port for the rear seat passengers. All four windows are one touch down, but the rears you have to hold the button to bring back up...first world problems, eh?

Speaking of the SS, it has been a couple weeks since it got corrected then driven several hundred miles in the country and on my daily commute. It’s been rained on, bird s*** on, rained on, farm field dusted then rained on and rained on again. Out came the wash plus wheel buckets, N 914, small iK sprayer, ONR sponge and MF towels aplenty.
Wheels got cleaned with Griot’s Foaming Prep Wash, MF wash mitt and Adam’s Turbo Stick. The wheels were embarrassingly dirty, well at least in my eyes.

Foamed:

Cleaned and rinsed:

That GTecniq C5 sure beads up well.
Vehicle was pre-rinsed panel by panel then washed with McKee’s N 914 using the forgotten but recently found ONR sponge. Beading before and after washing is outstanding. TW S&S is so far making me a happy man.

Even my Hyundai has one touch open AND close for its sunroof, LOL but only 1 touch up/down for the d/s window, LOL. What year do you think that white SS could be then? Maybe they loaded up the "last batches" with the good stuff

The SS in the pic doesn’t have the stupid hood “vents” which makes it a 14 or 15, plus it has the good wheels which also make it a 14 or 15.

You still don't like your rims

Nope. The 14-15s came with nice polished forged Alcoa wheels...not sure what dung heap they found the 16-17 wheels in.

Now this is a NICE wheel I’d be proud to sport on my SS as is or polished:

There's a beautiful Jungle Green SS I've seen a couple of times near me. Such a great color.
