What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Craig Encinitas said:
Too lazy to make my own thread.
How the YouTube detailers manage to create an enjoyable video whilst detailing a car, takes a lot of dedication.
Just stopping to take a few photos seemed to put me up against the clock.

I hear ya on the videos/photos...even a few clips and stills is a pain in the ass

I hate it when you start something, especially when it yields stunning results, and you realise you've forgotten to take before shots.

ALWAYS!!!....lol
 
I have been planning and looking forward to this all week, a little bit of twilight detailing.

The XR8 was in need of a wash after it's service last Tuesday, and it actually had some dirt on it!





Was very relaxing sitting down to clean the wheels as the sun started to set, my favorite podcast in my ears made it even better.









An hour and a half later, and she is back to spec.

Do you all not know how to(NOT) keep multi quoting (PHOTOS)?...I'll show you if you are not sure..

Not sure how it looks on desktop, but on the Tapatalk app it only shows a snippet of the post you’re quoting if it contains pics, so it’s avoids any problem on its own.

In Tapatalk, you can also edit the text you're quoting to only show the relevant portion.

And I just discovered that you can alter the text as well, if you want to mess with someone, Eldorado, I think you spelt Tapatalk wrong.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Why do you hate phones? Please don’t say because everyones always on them… Because that’s no good reason for you to hate them. So what’s the actual reason? They don’t do something you need them to do? Or?
 
Are your exhaust tips clean

What coatings have you used to compare the slickness?

SiC is slicker than Gliss.

That aside, I feel that slickness is the first property that diminishes in a coating. Even after the first wash, it’s not going to be like day one again. If this is news of the obvious, please forgive me. I’m just an enthusiast when it comes to detailing…not an expert.

I would hope though, that this feature of a coating will really help repel dirt and contaminants. Because as someone has said before, “Paint is meant to be admired, not touched.”

Talking about the TAC System stuff? I've been wanting to try some of their products but I'm pretty sure I could fly to Canada for the equivalent of shipping from Canada these days.

Yeah Moonlight is "one of those products" The downside in my case was the product crystilzed after a while

Bosko said:
Do me a favor and explain why you think it's not a reason to hate them.

Also......did you grow up with one?

Why? Because everyone else has absolutely nothing to do with Me. I don’t make my decisions based on what other people say or do, I make my own mind up.

And no, I didn’t grow up with cell phones. I grew up with land lines where if you wanted some privacy to talk to a girl I had to stretch the phones cord about 20’ to my room. Lol.

But just because I didn’t grow up with them doesn’t mean I can’t learn new things.


If there were people who were 150yrs. old today, they’d probably snicker and dislike power tools that people use today… Just imagine, they’d probably say things like “nothing beats the handcrafted precision of using a Real screwdriver”

“These hacks today using power tools are just flat out weak”!

Think about that. Lol.

Not sure what this is supposed to mean
I was on the team that invented photoshop...(Aldus company)...before Adobe bought them out for 500 million
Also was the first person east of the Mississippi to get into digital photography in 1992.
I retired a millionaire at age 45 and now live in paradise....so I'm not sure what your comment means about trying new things...

peace man...I dont want to argue or made enemies on here...

It was in response to your question about whether I grew up with smartphones… It wasn’t an insult or argument, it was simply a reply to what sounded like if I hadn’t grown up with them, then why should I accept them.

That’s what it sounded like to me.

If you’d like to clarify, I’d be happy to give a better response. But it certainly wasn’t meant to be argumentative.

But I can agree with forgetting about this convo and moving on. I agree it’s not really worth debating. No big deal lets get back on topics. Cool.

It's all good man... no argument or to sound like an ass.
It's not what I meant at all...

I have had this argument with someone who DID grow up with one, It was a one sided argument as they never experienced both like we did.
