What did you do detailing wise today?

After doing my DD yesterday, I did the Dakota today.

Products used...
  • Cleaned paint with Meg`s Hyperwash - still not a lot of foam with this water
  • Cleaned wheels and tires with MK37 Cleanse Exterior Cleaner
  • Cleaned glass with PB`s Pro Polish 2 by hand
  • Protected paint with Blackfire Midnight Sun Carnuba Wax - still applied like a champ at 91 F in the garage, flashed quickly and buffed off cleanly
  • Dressed tires with Wolfgang Tire Gel
  • Cleaned glass with Sprayway
  • Protected interior with Mothers Protectant
 
Finally got around to my car this weekend.

detailed a neighbor`s ford f150. one step with car pro essence with a lsp of menzerna pl sealant. i used this combo on his wife`s ford focus and am still surprised how slick the finish is. probably one of the slickest resulting finishes i`ve seen.

"Like a good neighbor, tropicsteve is there...."

White is nice when clean.

Around these parts, those trees would zap the LSP in no time...one good rain.
 
Niece came to visit with her silver Ford Focus. Wanted to surprise her with a wash & wax, so just snuck out and did a waterless (w/Uber) and a spray wax (w/Megs D156). Car was WAY dirtier than it looked. That silver apparently hides dirt really well. If I`d known how filthy it was before I started, I`d have used the Uber as a presoak and done a traditional 2 bucket wash. Went through half my microfibers. Still turned out looking pretty good.


Also reattached the rubber gasket that was falling down from both front doors of the Focus. Next time she visits, will need to do something about the terrible smoke odors, at least steam the seats and carpet. Not sure I can steam the headliner w/o risk of messing it up.

Yup. Its all i needed. The blue rupes pad with it left a little scouring and it didn`t finish right with essence on the yellow pad so i switched it up a little.
Essence is so easy to use when just ising it for gloss adder that I really like to get the best 1step cut thats lsp ready as is.

I`ve even tried essence on all my pads, uhs included.

What was your impression of Essence with the UHS, yellow and white rupes pads?

Doesn`t finish with as much gloss. I think it really benefits from the softer pads. My favorite is the carpro gloss pad + essence. Super soft and can even go over curves on these charger hoods too.

i like it on rupes yellow pad ir yellow mf finish disc as a 1 step or on the gloss pad as a final additional step if you wanna go overboard

A friend dropped off a new toy Tursday. `86 SVO with 30,000 miles! I started doing a test spot last night and decided to keep going. The 50/50 shot is with Sonax Profiline 4/6 and a B&S Maroon Uro-Tech.
