What did you do detailing wise today?

Started on this van last night.

The interior smells horrible. All of these pictures are after I pulled a garbage bag full of fast food bags from the interior. I couldn`t stand the smell before taking any pictures. He`s also a heavy smoker judging by the ash tray and the interior is coated with tobacco.

Yes...that`s mold and it`s all over the interior.

On the bright side, this should make for some great before/after pics.

Write-up coming soon.

This page shows my favorite types of details, the one`s where the cars require a lot of love. Who cares when a shinny new car gets a coating?! Cars that have aged not so gracefully really test the skills and bring about the biggest changes.

I`d charge him $20, just for making me wear a face mask let alone a respirator.

Wow Ray. Good luck. Don`t get hepatitis or something I need you to take my money soon, lol

I honestly can say I`ve turned down more of those than I care to take myself these days.

Last time I did one I was sick for a week afterwards.

Definitely charge extra for a resporator, lol

I look forward to the Rayview.

I also forgot to mention nitrile gloves and at least safety glasses.

Ray, whatever you do, don`t bring a black light.
 
Next one up...

havent touched it..work cut out for me to get pbl ready here...



And my go mango hellcat now wants csl so i gotta call tomorrow and see how much to overnight. 3 day connect wont be enough, lol. Never thought id have that problem.

Well he actually said he wants that coating but if i cant get it in time hes still dropping it off monday evening. This is the car that turned into a hellcat when it arrived as a secret he was keeping after ordering it 6 mths ago.

He will have me just wax it for now, he said "...no problem driving there, you`re the only one I trust" made me feel warm and fuzzy inside , :) haha

Not what you would call "detailing" but I wanted to see how well they mixed the spray bomb for my truck. No prep, just a grins and giggles kind of thing. Spot on match!

The bad spot started at the beginning of the bed. Whenever I gather all supplies, I will make a thread on how to do it.
 
decided to go rupes blue compound with my uhs pads. I remembered reading if you needed a tad more cut you could do that and in a lot of cases it is 1 step ready. i got almost all of the rids uhs combo wasn`t cutting into on the hood and fenders. And it looks coating ready to me.

but even in a garage 70degrees, i still work super slow- lol

Still have drivers side to do and bumpers

very neat looking Don, nice set up.

I gave the Nissan a 2B Wash with 3D Pink Soap, and the FK1000P is still going strong so i just air dried with Sidekick then topped with D156. Driver side tires have PERL and passenger side have BF Gel , i`m seeing how they compare with one another and so far Perl goes on shinier and spreads quicker while BF is a bit less shiny and needs to be worked in more. Durability has been the same so far, when i sprayed them with water it all beaded up nicely after 6 days of daily driving and some showers.

Disregard the 10293102938109812093810 Pine Needles all over my driveway, it is non stop ,and basically pointless to sweep them all the time.
