What did you do detailing wise today?

Supervised my friend as we did the following to her Jeep Patriot:
* Rinseless washed with ultima
* Decon with Ferrous Dueller
* clay with DJ Born Slippery/Prima Slick $ Meg’s Pro Fine Blue
* polish with G9, GG orange pad, and Wolf’s Medium Cut. Tried a lighter polish first but thought we cut do a bit better. The Wolf’s finishes down well enough that she was happy with the result.


Ran out of energy and paint was getting pretty warm by the time we finished so Thursday we’ll use Eraser and put some of what I have left of my CQuartz Lite on it.

Since this thread has been active for a hot minute, figure I`d post somethin`!

Got the Tacoma cleaned up and protected. Full iron decon and two coats of Griot`s 3 in 1. I really like the ease of this stuff. Yes I know it`s not a true ceramic coating, but the TW Hybrid Ceramic has worked well for me and still was beading for the most part at 5 months. Truck is garaged though, so not everybody will have the same results. I know on the Jeep which sits outside 24/7 the side surfaces still bead nicely 6+ months in...

No polishing or correcting was done. It`s in pretty good shape and I hope to keep up with it to avoid such. Figure if I keep up with this thing maybe the single stage white Toyota still loves using will stay shiny.
 
I ran into some real nasty line paint on a cars trim with under 5000 miles I soaked it down multiple times with Megs all season dressing then scraped of with plastic razor blade still took a long time and could get all off. If u have a better methods please share.
 
Normal routine wash Saturday. Then mid summer coat of TWHS spray coating this morning. Good to go. Also cleaned engine Saturday. Blackfire engine degreaser followed by Sonus motor kote.
 
Gave her older Escape some much needed love this morning. Had some minor paint work done about a month ago. Interior was already done.

Good wash.
Cleaned & dressed engine.
Used Blackfire Hydroseal on all exterior surfaces.
Dressed all exterior trim.
DP tire shine on tires.

For 2 hours of my time, it turned out fantastic! DONE.

Didn`t get a chance to answer you. Been on business travel most of this week. It went on like a typical coating. Nothing different. I have not driven the car in a little over 2 weeks. It is a little more tacky to wipe off compared to their other graphene coating.
 
Later in the day, after Saturday mornings wash/detail....

1. 2 coats of TWSC.
2. Wolfstiens tonneau cover protectant on the tonneau cover.
3. Sonax GummiPfleger on all door weather stripping.
 
Washed my truck. Lots of tar on it from a paving project going on here lately. It was even on the windshield.
Cleaned the stainless steel grill and topped (coated?) it with Dr Beasley Metal Coat. We`ll see how well it holds up but the grill is a little slicker. I really just want something on it to make it easier to clean
 
The last three days..

Lovely paint to work on... so much so I pushed beyond what I`d normally aim for when detailing outside. Feynlab PR giving much better residue control.

Protected using a pretty special bonded sheet graphene spray coating.

not 100% but still doing good. It is garage kept. Roughly 6500 a year
I will recoat tomorrow
It gives the paint a little better look than the sealant. It’s just what that particular color needed in my eyes. Like accumulator has said. YMMV. Lol

I got home from work yesterday and my 10 year old daughter asked if she could help me wash my wife`s car. She`s never asked or participated before. The car didn`t really need it, and it`s going to rain the next two days, but I didn`t want to say no. She helped set up the pressure washer, rinsed off the car, scrubbed tires, and washed the car using multiple towels, folding to a clean face after each section. I dried the car with the leaf blower, and she did all the touch up and door frames after. No toppers after or tire dressing, but I`m proud of my little girl for asking and wanting learn.
Hopefully I can get her to my wheel/tire specialist. She`s a lot closer to the ground than her Daddy is.
