What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Finally had a moment to knock the pollen off of the vette! Guess what! It is already covered it in all over again. At least it was nice to see her clean for a second or two. The other two cars are next.

Extremely nice car, and extremely nice garage to house it in.
 
As promised I DID go back outside and applied "something" to the car and it was 303 spray graphene detailer. It's 64 degrees right now and it's so easy to apply and buff. This product is a little stronger than a "detailer", reminds me of BSD as far as consistency

I also sprayed some CG's Signature scent in the interior as well, now fresh inside and out

As someone who lived for 30 years in Alaska and generally drove non-garaged vehicles and had to go to work regardless of what the weather presented me with overnight, trust me, I been there, done that, regarding clearing various types of frozen water off my cars

Don't beat yourself up

I think your process was a real learning experience and since I have never tried the Dr Colorchip (but I have studied it) I think you did a bang up job

I have seen enough YouTubes on it to know there is no "one right way"

Every chip is different and needs what it needs

Good on ya!!!

Thanks! And let me just tell you, you could spend an eternity filling in every ding and chip.

Some people have that luxury. I hope to be that person one day!

Chips can get ahead of you sooooo fast

But I hate getting everything out to do 1 or 2

I tell myself I’ll wait and do a few when there is like a half dozen

Then the next day there’s 183 of the little ?!$&@

Also, I took my car to a touchless wash and lost $8. There was zero difference bewteen the before and after.

Maybe that's not a bad thing.

No kidding. I did a rinseless yesterday morning with Ammo Frothe and Hydrate. Went in to take a shower to go to lunch and it already had a layer of pollen all over. But from a distance it looks great, right? But up close the other pictures tell the tale. And Hydrate does just like Glassparency Boost did, which is to highlight pollen where I wiped when drying.


 
Love this car, its color and rim color

Isn't it sad and frustrating lol. I can not wait for pollen season to be over. Your car looks great!

Well the other rims might be winter wheels, unless I step down to 18's and run a 225/40/18 or 225/45/18, one of those sizes are like .2" taller than my stock set up. Yes I'm thinking this far ahead as I don't wanna be caught flat footed

Looking just at the rims of like the Kona’s a little bit more. Might be different story once mounted.

That's the thing, not at all! I mean I was expecting to see the chrome shine a bit.

Nope.

I was expecting to see film cleaned off the glass.

Nope.

All because, probably, I have it in my head that my car would be getting sprayed with Bilt Hamber stuff.

Of course not!

So we had rain all morning, heavy at times and then it seemed to clear out. I checked weather bug and it was clear, so I decided to do another "Touchless" wash, this time easier as the EN was just sitting in the rain...let's go️

I started off by trying some Adam's iron remover on the rims, faces and barrels. I'm sure it does a great job but I just had 70 miles of driving yesterday, only a face and spoke wipedown then. I used all 4 brushes and rinsed away, very clean

For the "Touchless" wash I used 3 oz of Koch Chemie GsF and an ounce of Bilt-Hamber Touchless and almost a gallon of water into my trusty IK Foam Pro 12. I used the entire contents to ensure total coverage "and then some". The tires, wheels and wells were hit as well. I let it dwell and rinsed away

My daughter was outside with me making bubbles and asked to help me I gave her the designated mf towel to dry the tires & wheels. Once she was done there she wanted to do more, so I gave her a different towel to dry the grill and lower front sections. She did a pretty good job. While she was doing that I dried the rest of the car w/ my Sucker towel, jams and all

I finished up by applying some Gyeon Q2 Tire to the Michelins and vac'd my mat as well as my daughters and wiped down the back of the passenger racing seat from her feet (I'll never be mad because it's her and it just wipes off easily)

Now I've got a fresh ride for the upcoming work week. I'll probably go back out there later and wipe "something" on it after dinner

Btw I've included a couple things. First are my rims next to the Kona N rims, which ones do you guys like better? Next is a mod that eliminates the large front H with a custom panel thats painted body color, do you like

I love the red accepts on the Elantra N.

Are they painted or red plastic inserts?

Love the quality time with the Daughter. :dblthumb2: I'm with you - I don't get bent outta shape if my daughter leaves some prints in the back seat. If it got excessive I guess I could enforce our mantra from in the house of "It's ok to make a mess as long as You clean it up"... :laughing:

On the wheels, my vote goes to your stock wheels. The others I guess I could see as winter wheels as they kinda look more utilitarian, but boy that's a lotta nooks and crannies for the off season...

For the front end, I guess I'm weird and I actually don't care for debadging most cars. Often looks too plain to me, or like you're trying to hide what the car is. Sure, yours is a Hyundai, but it's a rockin f'n Hyundai.
