What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Continued working on my pressure washing cart...pics to follow as it nears completion
 
Finished up a pretty hammered GT-R this morning…

Did some interior. Cleaned the WeatherTechs and put some of their protectant on it. Then did Meg QID and Griot's Leather 3in1.

RW with Absolute. The water flew off using the EGO since I just put on Griot's Ceramic Speed Shine last weekend.

Cleaned up the truck after a 600 mile trip to the Outer Banks and back. It was covered in bugs and sand. I used P&S absolute as a pre wash in a foam cannon, I love the smell lol. It did make the 2 bucket wash process a lot quicker, the bug guts came right off. Topped it off with Titan on the wheels and Cosmic and high gloss on the paint. I love the way the color glows.

Heckova shine and glow in that bottom pic.
 
Booked my first bike detail of the spring...the fellas in MI are bringing out their bikes and some are noticing...not all bikes look the same.

I have my sights on a new bike this year. If HD offers a mid year '23 CVO Street Glide, I'll have a hard time passing that up. I'll have to do a lot of detailing to cover that bill....but....goals!!!

pretty clever vacuum hack...

I think Tornador does something similar but with compressed air. But if you have a massager, you wouldn’t need to buy a Tornador, but what fun would that be.

Sweet. I’ve got that same vacuum but normal use.

When using it as extractor, are you using the normal black foam filter they recommend for wet use? Of a different specific filter? Do you make sure the canister is completely free of vacuum debris before using it as extractor? Or is it not that critical? Or is it strictly an extractor full time now?

What’s that gray thing on your left forearm in the pic? What are we looking at there?
Nevermind, it’s the steering wheel… lol
 
Cleaned the old man's ute tried out some Bowdens own Sweet Rubber good stuff but can't really tell the difference between this and old version.

Should try it DFB

I have the wet filter but I normally run no filter

If I have dirt in there 1st I use the extractor to wet it all down by spraying inside the vacuum with the extractor to get everything wet so it doesn't blow around. Plus I use the muffler on the exhaust port.

I use it as vacuum and extractor both back to back

Works great. It's hooked to water hose so no rank refills etc.

I gave the FJ a home touchless wash, it hadn't been washed since I played in the mud a week or so back, and I was short on time so loaded up my Kwazar with Carpro Lift. I went around it about 3 times, till my arms got tired. Then rinsed it off with the hose, inside the wheel arches I just hold the hose gun in there till the water runs clean. I dried it off by driving it around the block, but wiped the glass down with my favourite old chamois to remove any remaining water spots. We're supposed to have rain over the next few days, so it didn't need to be a perfect job. The black trim and tyres are still holding on to the mud residue, but Lift cleaned the paint quite well.
