What did you do detailing wise today?

I wouldn`t mind trading my mustang in for a Vette. But can`t afford that right now. Maybe just save for a supercharger for the 5.0 and make 650whp

At least you can get more stuff in there than me.

When I go to car shows, I gotta stop by a local sub shop to get food on the way.

First real cleanup of 2017! Today is a beautiful day so I decided to cleanup the Camry real good. They are using a mixture of rock salt, liquid sodium chloride, and sand around here now, so you cannot keep a vehicle clean. At the moment the car isn`t getting much use, so might as well clean it up good!

In all its dirty glory!

Grumpy cat is especially grumpy because it`s dirty!

Some foam soaking action... (yes the hood is popped, was trying to clean all the jambs while I was at it)

Spent a couple hours to get it decent. While the driveway was dry I decided to use a whole quart bottle of high alkalinity degreaser and baking soda mixture to clean the underside of all all the salt and dirt. Neighbors think I`m nuts, but I hate rust!

All clean!

Put back in the garage on the battery tender to only be brought out in good weather.
 
Detailed some of the shower yesterday.

It`s really cool. I`m a huge fan of poli seal. Super long working time, this stuff does not dust at all.

Wow. 2 drops with rotary wool drill mount (the one that comes with megs headlight kit). It even repels water pretty good when it`s done.

Took advantage of a 58f day in January. Wife`s car got a brake job and oil change. Both vehicles then got flushed out with the pressure washer. I`m really thinking about getting a foam cannon now. Finished up with a Garry Dean method wash with ONR. Both vehicles are wearing PA Viking coat spritz which seem to be holding up well after 2 months in the winter

Just ordered this set. I figure they will be way better than the HF polishers I have. I found a %15 off coupon and got the pair shipped for $306. Should make the next jobs a bit easier hopefully. This Vette kicked my ass today and I`m still not done. Have the front end left to polish and then wipe down and CSL.

WOW!! It got to 63 here today. Poor xterra needed a good detail. Got a good interior and a wash. Tires got BF Total tire/trim protectant. Also did the engine. WG Total engine cleaner (nice product) followed with Sonus motor kote. Final dry with OTC TW Wax as you dry. (wanted to try it) Did notice some streaking? But cleared right up with another damp wipe. Could have over applied? Left a really nice looking just waxed finish tho.
 
Washed the fleet that sits outside just to get rid of all the junk from the rain. More rain expected Sunday and Monday. But it looks good for a few hours.

Anyway here is dad`s after an ONR wash and Ech2o (detail spray mix) wipedown. I usually stick with optimum instant detailer as the car has Gloss Coat but said F it, I`m going to try something different lol. Left it slicker and glossier than instant detailer. I will see how the beading and sheeting compare to gloss coat by itself.

Was bored so I got artsy with a black and white app on my phone.

The tire coating needs a fresh application and I will do that next weekend once the rain storms finish.

mmm so many bikes, so little distance between them and the car.... It would drive me nuts. I get nervous seeing collapsible mesh laundry baskets within 1ft of my car(s).
