What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Rust Oleum's Neverwet for Glass.

Great job on a gorgeous dream car.

Question. Where are you getting Rust Oleum Neverwet Rain Repellant (is that the one?) as Lowes/HD no longer sells it. How long do you find that lasts?

Thanks. Yes, Rust-Oleum Shield H2O Rain Repellent Spray is what it's now called. I just like the old name :) On windscreens it lasts 2-3 months. On other windows much longer.
 
It did add gloss for sure but I was expecting more gloss/glass look than i actually got. But that could be due to the fact that my application process was the same as if i was applying a full on ceramic coating, So in my head im watching the product go on the panel and expecting the usual deep soaking wet candy gloss look and slick surface. Thats my own fault there.

Now dont get me wrong i will certainly be using/puchasing more of this product in the future.

It was super easy to apply. Just wait a few seconds after appling and wipe off.

I did not however feel any added slickness to the surface during and after application.
Maybe that comes later after it cures? I have no idea.

Cant wait to try it out as a topper and a stand alone on our own vehicles to i can rate everything its said it can do.

I didn’t notice too much slickness On old CC application. Maybe gloss could be because color? I used it on black.

Looking fantastic as always!

Love me a 930 911. A while back when I was looking to add a fun car back to the stable (cleared car inventory to buy a house), 930's were on the list. In the end, an E30 M3 followed me home (later joined by an E36 M3 to relieve it from track/Auto X duty).

Seems like you don't see a lot of old 911's running around any more! Happy to hear he's out there using his!

Still have the E30? Those are reaching unicorn status!

Yeah i think the color was the reason for not noticing as much...because i just used it on the buick yesterday which is black and i deffinatly noticed a enhancement in gloss and also a little darkening effect as well

In East TN I awoke to sleet accumulating in the yard, which I had no clue would happen since I didn’t pay attention to the weather. Over night it is supposed to get down to 33 and be up to 70 tomorrow. Some places don’t get any seasons and we get 3 in one day. I plan to do some cleaning tomorrow so hopefully you will be able to soon.
 
It looked nice so I walked outside with a couple of spray bottles, some towels, and a carpet brush

Nope

Would you say it’s better than meg’s?

I’m going to say no. Megs QID does everything CarPro Inner QD does. Inner QD has that awful lemon scent that will trigger allergies. A viewer of my channel posted a statement in regards to this from CarPro.

Also the anti static claim form CarPro is just that. A claim. I noticed zero difference. The anti microbial thing is nice but Adams can achieve the same thing.

I am sticking with Megs.

CanCoat offers no slickness and never has. I don’t know where you heard this from. You are overthinking the application process using it.
 
Worked on a truly special car for a friend. A beautiful 1983 Porsche 911 CS with just about 100k miles on it. This is a really nicely kept car with it's original 40 year old single stage paint still showing through all it's glory.

Thus far it's been washed, decontaminated and prepped for the Preservation Work I'm doing to it. Paint was nourished with Meg's #7 for 24hrs then wiped down in prep for the polish. As shown, it's my Flex XCE and Orange LC Pads paired with GYEON Primer doing the work. This is a full swirl removal polish but my approach in these vintage "paint preservation" packages is just that. Prepped for a coating to help lock in a preserve the finish. There will be remaining RIDS that I did not recommend be chased down.

Black metal window trim was polished and all seals were treated with BrightMax Rubber conditioner. Black trim was restored with Cquartz Dlux. Wheels have been coated with GYEON Q2 RIM. Windows were all cleaned with 0000 steel wool, stripped with 3D Eraser Gel and sealed up with Rust Oleum's Neverwet for Glass. Last remaining steps will be the paint coating. Stay tuned for more.
Wow! at a loss for words on how impressive this is. Outstanding work ( as usual! )
 
Well the day started out kinda nice, sunny and bright. So just took the winter tires off (hopefull old man winter called it a season) so took my dad's car's and the car I'm driving winters and gave them a good cleaning before storage. 8 wheels/tires.... well at about the 2nd tire the weather got noticably colder, and stayed that way. I hope those winter tires realize how spoiled they live.
 
50 degrees and sunny, so it's time..."good" carwash on the EN

Started with a TWHS Slick and Slide pre-wash, 1 gallon worth (5 oz/1 gallon distilled) let dwell and rinsed off. I have to say it did a really good job!

Next up were the tires/wheels and for this I once again reached for a TWHS product, Hyper Foam. This product dissolves the brown on the tires immediately but this time it was really put to the test as I was able to do a barrel cleaning this time, finally. All 4 brushes were called into extra duty and I'm happy to report my rims are clean...inside and out!!

Next I wanted to add some protection so I finished up my bottle of 303 Touchless Sealant. I started with the wheel faces, let sit and then rinsed off. Next was the entire car and I had just enough and this product really works well, lots of tight beads and gloss!

I dried the car with the Sucker and Gauntlet. The mini Master Blaster was used for the tires, wheels, mirrors and various other areas. I finished up by applying some TWHS graphene spray tire coating on that make-up applicator for a nice sheen.

Lastly I vac'd out the interior and wiped down the back side of p/s seat (it's where Kendall sits)

All clean and fresh we drove out to my g/f's for great fajitas. We'll be taking the "long way home" tonight too, even though I can't go "hunting" as I've got about 250 more miles to go before hitting the 600 mile "break in" period. I'll say this though, the EN has ALOT of shove on the freeway....God help me

The Buick got foamed again even though it was clean. Then the interior got the full treatment with Megs D101, 303 Protectant and then the seats got cleaned with Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel and Gyeon Leathershield.
By the time I was finished, there wasn’t a spec of dust anywhere.

What year is this car? This interior is flawless.
 
I noticed as the afternoon sun came in, just how much dust had settled on the Qashqai, you can see how much in the first pic, and I needed my detailing fix. So I got out the duster, dusted using a very light touch, then gave it a QD with NV Boost. Job done.
