What did you do detailing wise today?

More cleaning in the garage to make room for my Dakota and the bay I will use for detailing and maintenance (oil changes, etc). Added some shelves and now trying to store non-detailing stuff (a two wheel cart used with riding lawn mower and wheel barrow). The truck takes up a lot more room.
 
I agree with you. I`ve seen her pictures, and thought, "what a Pro".

I didn`t know this about you. You are one serious detail enthusiast given the pictures I`ve seen of your products and equipment. I took it for granted that you were at least doing this on the side for a bit of $$$. Hats off to you.

Didn`t dress anything, just wanted clean. The tires had to be scrubbed a couple times to rid of the leftover dressings of times past, I think I like the clean tire look better than dressed up.

Mustang was an auto too. The auto was a faster car and the MT-82 manual was junk. I`ll get another fun car in a couple years that will probably be manual. And MPGs matter when you drive 100 miles round trip to the office.

Gonna need some work. Tried essence on a gloss pad. It took a lot of the swirls away there are a few deeper ones it didn`t touch. Gonna try some Scholls products on it when I get some time and then finish off with the essence and CSL.

Thanks guys !

But seriously, when I grow up. Which will be in a year.
I will be buying my house/garage and that gives me some time to catch up to some of you and maybe start making some $$

Finished this up, dropped Cquartz UK on it + Gyeon Cure. Think I`m done with work vans for a bit...just sooooo much area to deal with.

WOWWIE !! Did you swing from the rafters to do the roof ? :blink:
 
My truck is now in the garage. I also spent time cleaning out the interior (vacuum, clean carpets). My Meg`s QID has gone bad -- has acetic acid like smell. I decided to mix my bottle with some Poorboy`s Cherry scent and this improves things a lot to mask the smell.

So you turned rancid qid, into natural look,,,,,,,,
 
Coated my dad`s tires with 3 coats of Tuf Shine tire coating. Also added a bit of a boost to the DLUX that has been on the wheels for 7 months with some hydro2. Final wipe on the wheels with some ech2o QD mix.

I gave my car it`s second RW with M37 N-914 with PA HG as a drying aid. I also did the windows inside and out and the inside rear for the 1st time in about a year (really hard for me to get to) and polished my exhaust tips 1st time since last summer (I seem to keep forgetting them). I also had to put a coat of tuf shine coating on my tires since one of them just caught a curb and wanted all to look the same.

Just a wipe down with Griot`s Speed shine, a bottle that hasn`t been touched and it`s great stuff ?
Couldn`t believe how much dust attracted to the Dodo Purple Haze that I had on. :burn:

Sorry no before pics as I was in a time crunch especially as hammered as the paint was. I buffed out using bf src compound and lc orange lopro with lhr21 5" and mini with lc hd cutting pads. I then used bf gloss enhancing polish with lc white lopro pads on lhr21. I then followed with a coat of bfwdafpp yesterday and a coat of black ice today. Bf glass cleaner on windows. Wheel wax extreme black tire gel on tires and two coats of fk1000p on rims. So almost an all out black fire get up
