What did you do detailing wise today?

Never fails. Every time I get something new - it gets damaged shortly after....

Stoopid me put a door ding in my new truck... (due to emotional trauma I can`t bring myself to take a pic of actually ding)

No one to blame but me. Sitting in the PDR place now & dude is hooking me up. Now, I got over this initial mess up - nothing will happen to it for years.

This is my pattern.

Story of my life right there. I`m driving my wife`s old 05` Cobalt and nothing ever happens to it. We got her a new CR-V in 2014 and I swear there isn`t a month that goes by that nothing happens to it whether it be dents, chips, paint transfer or being broken into.

That`s God telling you that you should`ve gotten a CX-5 instead lol

The PDR Gods smiled down at me today. After 20 mins & $100 dent is 100% fixed with no paint damage.

PDR dude also does detailing or has detailing out of his shop... I spied:

1. GG6

2. Makita Rotary

3. A bunch of dirty CGs pads

4. Jet Seal 109

5. A tub of E-Zyme

6. A brochure for "ceramic coating"

7. Some Griots bottles

8. CG`s spray bottles

9. Meg new aerosol trim coat

10. A bunch of old CGs polishes

.... and nothing but Dollar Store MF towels. He was dry wiping my door where the dent was with a dirty & dry cheap MF towel. I just let him be, because he already performed magic.

At least it seems like he is trying to learn about some other products and not all OTC

Annnnnnd Ouch. Do you plan on polishing that spot and re-coating? Or just letting it go?
 
I need PDR done on my hood. Something hit me on the highway the other week. Only had the car three months and 5k miles

Nothing dramatic today. Washed and dried the wife-mobile (07 Dodge Avenger), then applied some liquid wax with my Meguires polisher device and buffed it clean. Sprayed Meguires tire foam on the tires. Now I can garage it for the stormy weather due in tomorrow...
Sigh. Still gotta do all that to my truck though.
 
Pad cleaning day 4 me. Rupes pads and Polish clean up is such a breeze ! CP micro too !

Did a waterless wash on my mother in-laws RX350 with N-914 at 1:32 dilution. I went with that dilution figuring I am going to add a LSP after I am done anyways and the car was a mess tons of bug guts on the front and grease and other black marks on the sides that were real stubborn to get off, N-914 at that dilution did a great job cleaning and still left the surface clean and streak free. LSP was Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish I put it on the same way is read someone here doing it in there review by spraying it on a microfiber applicator and applying it the the car then whipping down excess after with a nice microfiber.

popped a new cquartz box open and found white micro suede. haven`t seen that before

Nice. The white suede`s are new. They stopped sending them with the orange ones. One reason was for the interior leather coating. The orange ones would stain light colored leather. The white ones are not supposed to do that anymore.
 
Was foaming my GFs and I`s cars today and a neighbor waved me down and asked if I could do theirs afterward. Said yes of course as I really enjoy doing it and I think neighbors are supposed to be neighborly. Not thinking much of it as I don`t notice cars unless they`re modified, she opens the garage and BAM. 2000 Chevy S U B U R B A N. That dark navy blue that has seen much better days. Welp, no turning back now.

My buddy shows up around this time because we were going to buff his headlights so he gives me a hand. I foam it with Dodo Juice Apple iFoam, 2 applications of Natural Look on the super faded plastics, PBW Glass cleaner inside and out, Dodo Juice Ferrous Dueller iron remover and Supernatural wheel cleaner on the wheels. Bold N Bright on the tires. Wheels were no doubt untouched since it was at the dealership. I think I need a new wheel woolie already.

It looks as good as it`ll get without a buff, truly. The paint actually kinda shines now. Smells better too. Neighbors daughter comes running over and asks "How much?" I give her the "Don`t worry about it, I just like doing it!" So she runs back in her house and her mom comes out, looks over the SUV, smiles and says "Thanks." I asked her if she liked it and she has a weird tone and says "It looks okay for free..."

Not going to lie it bummed me for a bit. I wouldn`t have accepted a tip, but I guess the notion would of been nice. My buddy and I decided that she had seen us three stepping my car, and she thought we were going to do the same to her suburban in an hour free of charge. *jordan shrug*

Ended the night on a better note with some green onions and steaks on the grill! Everything`s better now! Ha!

Kinda sad that more appreciation wasn`t shown.
