What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Yeah for sure, never really thought about that but nice area around Deer Park

Just be careful around the Berberis to the left (red plants), they have nasty thorns that would pierce your skin and scratch paint.

...today BEFORE work, plus I got to try the new TRC Liquid8 towel named after a tank, it's green and its AWESOME, at some point I'll be adding a 2nd one! So now they've released a thin AND thick drying towel, both are great, how do they do this

did a Rinseless wash on both my cars sunday night. Probably should have gone to the pay and spray, but they werent super dirty. Did a towel dry used ADS amplify on the GTI and Slick N Slide on my GLI. Cleaned the wheels by pre- spraying with 1:64 rinseless, and washing with what was left in the bucket using a TRC wheel mit. Applied some Vonnix Revox

I should not have used Plastar on by rocker panel trim, weve had a lot of rain and its showing rain streaks, and it collected a lot of dirt. I am going to use some Greenstar next time I go to the car wash, and apply Gtechniq trim coating. I want the trim dark black to make the paint pop more.

The Amplify seems to offer more gloss than slick n slide. But After curing the slick n slide feels nice and smooth. Probably wont buy another bottle though since amplify does what i want.


Revox Annoys me, because its so good I cant justify getting something else. I really want to try Ghost, but I have half a bottle of Revox left.

I would think quite a few of us identify with this sentiment, just insert different product names. I've definitely got some good stuff I'm currently using, but I want to buy and try the new hotness, but it's taking what feels like forever to get through last year's hot product.

Another day, another touch-free wash but the sap has stopped, waiting to put a couple more days in a row before I celebrate

Atleast I'm back in my old spot again

Not quite detailing, but got the Weather Tech HP liners for my GTI today. The factory floor mats (all weather) barely cover anything and let dirt get everywhere. Like every non luxury car now, the GTI has the velcro carpet. The non HP mats in my GLI have held up great over 4 years and 2 cars.


I am also debating getting the metrovac cordless. I know I have my dewalt but the metro is so sleek and would take up way less space in my car. Talk me out of it...

Kind of reminds me of Mike G gone rogue with sideburns, shades, and hair.

So I'm off today, got a dentist appointment this afternoon, so I decided to give the TAOS a long overdue 2BM wash️

I started with the tires & wheels. I finished off Gyeon Tire Cleaner and used ADS Clean @10:1 dilution (medium) for the wheels. Once done I topped up the wheels with TAC System Water Flow, still beading from the last application but now their 100%

The pre-wash was 4 oz of Griot's Garage Foaming Surface Prep, dwell & rinse. The beading is still good but this gave a chance to try a new prouduct...Labocosmetica Revitax, their wash and coat product. Per directions i went with 4 oz in my wash bucket, could've went 5 oz, next time. These products never sud too much but since I pre-washed, so worries

I'm pleased to announce ANOTHER homerun from Labocosmetica! Upon rinsing each panel, especially the roof, the beading was in the MILLIONS

I finished up drying it off with TRC's Liquid8R, even slightly damp from not drying in my trunk, it laughed at its work...amazing

I'll boost the tires later, even though it's holding up

Did I miss the month that Vonnix was the flavor of?

After the TAOS was done I headed to the touch-free wash and came back home to try ANOTHER new Labocosmetica product...Perfecta 2.0, basically a gloss enhancer

I used a pair of the Griot's Garage detailing mf towels (shown in the pic) and this product goes on like a dream and removes exactly the same! While applying I could feel the slickness, it's now curing on the car, looks AWESOME

Not sure which Labocosmetica product I'll try next will be "average" but so far it just hasn't happened yet, truely an amazing company, thanks for getting me down their wormhole, I'm in HEAD FIRST

A local guy carries it, a friend dragged me there so I got revox and their paint coating. Coating was terrible (IMO) but revox sticks around between washes, and its not super shiny.

Does perfecta work as a drying aid / apply any protection?

That sounds really interesting, and they have it at Amazon...hmmm....

Finish building my RO system for spotless rinsing and mixing chemicals.

Wow, that's fancy-looking!

I had some webbing left behind by the wiper blades yesterday, so I thought I'd decontaminate them. Sprayed them with some Rubber Roller Restorer, wiped until the gunk stopped coming off them, then rubbed some graphite powder on them. Before putting them back on I cleaned the glass with some Einzett Scheiben-Klar, it's almost gone, feels empty, but it just keeps spraying.
