What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[UncleDavy]

The truck got a rinseless wash with Griots Rinseless and then finished with Ceramic Speed Shine. The Griots plush edgeless towels seem to work best. The other truck is a rental until I get a new company car and it got the full treatment. Rental cars are gross.

16 PFM's...WOW, I have 4 of them and only use them for drying the car. I also have 4 glass PFM's. The closest I use my PFM's for that use is drying aid duty

I’m actually talking about these guys, Rog.

I only have 4 PFM’s. Lol

(*Edit..... It's actually 18. Looking at my pic, I was thinking "wait a second...... 3 packs of 6 towels is NOT 16.)

Gotcha

For my RW/WW uses I have many Eagle edgeless and DPC edgeless towels, mostly 600 GSM but I do have 6 450 GSM Eagle edgeless to try for RW duty, just to see if they were easier to control and IMO its a wash (pun intended)

I only have a few Eagle's. But I think they are great towels.

My buddy Kevin has given me several Adam's towels and they're actually pretty good too. You can NEVER have too many mf towels...wait I just thought of Fly06STI (thanks again for those PFM's years ago buddy!)

I got a pack of those as a bonus from Griots. Score! I actually like them better than the Eagle Edgeless. By the way, I have 6 PFMs.

It's actually time to replace some of them. The loops get caught on the "K" in BuicK and there are some pulls on a few of the towels.

I'm hip. The "4X4" badge on my tailgate loves to attack any towel that comes near it.

And PFM's are some of its favorite food.

While wet I sprayed the Meg's HCW @3:1 on all 4 rims and let it sit till I sprayed off the soap from the 2BM.

So you are diluting Meg's HCW 3:1 with water?

Specifically for wheels because I am assuming you already have a base coat of something?

I am intrigued...

Yeah a member here on AG, from another country and I can't remember for the life me, posted about using this way. IIRC he too wasn't too impressed with this product (terrible directions) and found a use for it.

Anywho I have Sonax sprayed on there from months ago and just kept topping them up and since I have plenty of Meg's HCW to use, 3/4 of an undiluted bottle, I'm using it up for my rims. It does make cleaning them easier but then again I stay ontop of my car

Also I read that IGL Premier has a shelf life and since my bottle is plenty expired, according to a member, I've sprayed this product on the rims too. Both products I spray liberally, let sit for quite some time and then rinse off. I have to say my rims always look good, easy to clean and bead pretty well!!

I have full strength HCW on the rims of the Tacoma and the Lexus

I started with the Apex method of dry paint, barely misting an applicator with water, and a SMALL spray of HCW spread as far as it would go and buffed off

I have to say I liked it immediately

I have been using the spray on and pressure wash off method for topping off at maintenance washes but feel I am wasting 75% of the product out of the sprayer since it's so globby

I am going to try your method and see how it works

In the name of science and stuffs

Thanks

See your post is my problem with it, not you but others had to figure out how to use it...UNACCEPTABLE! Not only that but the sh!tty leaking bottles The directions don't say you've gotta lay down the product first AND THEN it can be used as a spray on, hose off product but even then, it's just too thick and doesn't Mist, all over the board

Since this I've used/liked Adam's Guard and Gloss and recently Hybrid Solutions Wet Wax, which I'm on my 3rd bottle of right now! This is the most under the radar product out there, maybe Turtle Wax should hire a sky writer or something

Yeah even Meg’s own videos failed to get the whole picture across and a couple of them flat contradicted each other

I know Waxmode has a method as well that’s a variation of the Apex and it’s probably pretty good as well but it’s totally off label, just like Apex

I hear you on the sprayer

Reminds me of 15 years ago and the new Optimum Hyper Polish

Spraying that stuff was soooo frustrating

More of it went into space than on the pad

I got to where I just sprayed the panel

I have some TW WetWax but I have a few sprays of some Optimum Spray Wax to finish before I break it out

I will certainly keep you posted

It's the only TW product I have bought since I was a teenager (I'm 65)

I like the simplicity of their Hybrid Solutions product line and as stuff in my arsenal gets depleted I think I will pick up more of their products

Have a great rest of your weekend

They seem to spread and remove the spray on wipe off products a lot better than the Eagle Edgeless. I always had an issue with the Griots 3 in 1 and the Ceramic Speed Shine leaving streaks behind. The Plush Edgeless seem to remove the product better without streaking.
