What did you do detailing wise today?

`PRND[S said:
;2082021`]What did you use on the door cards -- steam? Looks nasty, I assume that`s sunblock and salt from sweat?

The entire interior was like that. Just years of sunblock/tanning lotion/makeup/sweat/coffee/????/soda/eye liner etc etc.

I used OPC with a leather brush and famous detailing brush, steam and terry towels. A combination of OPC with the brush and steam worked best. I tried using just one method, but the heat and water of the steam loosened everything up, then the OPC and brush and terry towels took care of the rest.
 
Ordered Polish Angel Engine. . . My stash is now mostly comprised of Polish Angel and 3D HD.

I was going to try out Dodo Juice Hard Candy wax today which would have been on top of PA Escalate/Master Sealant, but got lazy. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe some pictures too lol.

These finger nail scratches really ruin the luxury appearance. They had to go.

All done.

Stuff used
OPT car wash
Megs Non Acid wheel cleaner
Famous boars hair brush
Costco Mf for the dirty work
Turtle wax renew light cut liquid compound (I like how it is gel like and spreads nicely)
Megs synthetic sealant 2.0
Gold Plush MF and Super Plush Mf (Love these!)
Megs leather cleaner, gold class conditioner (It`s kinda sorta ok.)
PC 5 gal Vacuum
Autogeek foam knee thing (This is just perfect for wheel work)

Got some potential tire kickers, I mean clients while doing this.

Customer was blown away. Again. I bet most people here in Palm Springs would think I`m one of the elite detailers (Like KB, Mike Phillips, Superior Shine)because they never experienced the work of a real detailer.

I am interested in removing factory orange peel. Have you used the Carpro velvet or denim pad to remove orange peel?

I have not I`ve always used regular wet sanding but at some point this may just get buffed in sections as it needs it but he doesn`t think so. So who knows I may not even buff it till it needs it
