What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

I don't know. I do use CarPro Reset, but I don't feel that should be the reason. I know it states that it can degrade sealants/waxes, but already?

What's the soap/gallon ratio? I can't see a soap killing an LSP like that so quickly

I’ve been using 1-1.5 oz per 4 gallons. I think their ratio is 1oz to 5gal.

Wanted to wash my car today but I got my girlfriend's car muddy last night when I went to help a guy who's truck died. It already needed a wash before that. I opted to get the foam cannon out, wash it with hyper wash and dry with one of the larger PFMs.

You definitely made her car dirty and it looks good again. Did you score any points for the cleaning?
 
The Qashqai had transport duty on Christmas Day, I noticed it a few spots from being parked outside, and lots of fingerprint smudges on it. So I gave it a wipe down with Boss Gloss. Some of spots were being difficult so I sprayed some ONR on, worked a treat. I then decided to try out the Mother's Interior Detailer I bought yesterday, worked well, I didn't realise the gear knob was so dirty. I like the scent as well View attachment 74856View attachment 74857View attachment 74858

The Buick got a waterless wash with Wolfgang Uber then a treatment of Beadmaker. The windshield is already coated with Griots glass sealant and it was cleaned with Ceramic Glass cleaner.

Just finished up coating this 2022 BMW X7 xDrive40i with Artdeshine Ceramic Metal Oxide.

My first 2022!
 
That BMW is reflective! Nice work. Love that garage/shop setup.
 
Went over to my friend’s house and taught him how to take care of his new 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L. He usually purchases used cars but with the crazy used car market, they went for a new one and wants to keep it looking good.

So I taught him how to do a rinseless wash with McKee’s N-914 as well as clean the wheels and tires. Tires were dressed with Gyeon Tire Express. Then we put on Griot’s Ceramic 3-in-1 since so many on here recommend it for decent protection while being easy to apply. Then we cleaned the leather with Connolly Hide Care and a Sonax Leather brush. The rest of the interior was cleaned with P&S Xpress Interior Cleaner. Finally, we protected all interior surfaces with Pinnacle Leather and Vinyl Coating. Damn my shoulders were sore. The before and after photos don’t show much difference but the wheels shine well and tires look good. And I have an appreciative friend that now has some knowledge and tools to clean his vehicle without swirling it up.

Maintenance wash on my old-mans Ranger today, and the first detail on my new floor. :D



Was nice to be working free from puddles of water. :xyxthumbs:



In terms of the exterior, nothing special today, it just needed a good clean! I did use some Gtechniq W8 to remove baked on bugs and dried with the help of OG Drying Aid.

Onto the interior, and with the rubber mats removed, I wanted to try a technique I spotted on the Rag Company Youtube channel about using P&S Paint Gloss as a vacuum aid, along with the Fur-Eel vac attachment.















Paint Gloss is usually reserved for exterior detailing, but here it can be used as a anti-static agent to speed up the vacuum process. As mentioned in the video, only a few light sprays is required before vacuuming as normal. I feel like this reduced the repeated motions to remove the debris stuck to the carpet.

Happily, my detailing seat moves over the Ribtrax with ease.
