What did you do detailing wise today?

I took a couple beading pics of Black Ice at about 8 weeks just after it rained today. I washed it last on Sunday using Mr. Pink.

No sun so not a lot of contrast to make it pop plus shooting at ISO 3200 to get some depth of field.

Today I'm tightening up the organization of my detail garage.

Using Stanley Fatmax bags to create a glass cleaning & maintenance kit; polish, sealant & wax kit; tire cleaning & dressing kit; interior cleaning & dressing kit; and PC7424 kit.
 
Quick clean up on the 69 911S then off to get the 77 308 GTB. Nice day to for a drive. Trying to catch up on maintenance.

Blew out the garage and starting to decide what other stuff i can trade...also changed the serpentine belt on the Dakota -- piece of cake thanks to the automatic tensioner.
 
Rinse less wash IUDJ. Tuned performance tire gel.
One of my favorites drive wise and looks.
Euro 77 fiberglass 308 Dry Sump

If time do a quick polish

The cars' been needing some attention for the past week. The gravel parking lot was taking its toll on the paint. Clayed and applied PB's Sealant, dressed the tires and rear bumper trim. Mind you I did this in the garage with it being dark out. There's lots of fluor. lights in there, but can't see as well. So, we'll see what it looks like in the morning :lol:
 
I washed the Sebring.....

  • Washed with Chem Guy's Mr. Pink
  • Cleaned tires and wheels with AutoWerkes APC
  • Wiped down with Pinnacle XMT Spray Wax - LSP was shot, so a booster until I can do more (thinking Prima Amigo and Epic)
 
This is what I did yesterday. It wasn't a Chevy like i thought, but a lifted Dodge diesel. Actually it was also an automatic. Never really see much of those. After inspection I soon could figure out the previous owner had the silver bottom done by someone who wasn't an expert at painting. Duly noted for when intake a machine to it next time... This was the first time I could actually fit my body inside and around the tires. I washed, decontaminated, glazed, and waxed it using AF Passion.

Sorry, I think you have to click on the second picture to see it. The truck fitnunter the awning by 3 inches. I was a close one, had to stand on the tires to clean the hood and front windshield. Like all the details I do, I try to get them l to say the vehicle looks cleaner than when they bought it :)
Oh and that's AMMO MUD on the tires and inner wheel walls. I ran out of bare bones, thankfully Mud works the same.
 
Cleaned up the interior of my daily driver...it was 85 F and humid in the garage

  • Wiped down with 1z Cockpit Premium in Meg's burgundy bottle (nice fine mist)
  • Fake leather treated with Poorboy's Leather Stuff
  • Glass cleaned with PoorBoy's Glass Cleaner and glass towel
  • Steering wheel treated with Mothers VLR
  • Plastics protected with Ultima Interior Guard
 
I have a 1983 380SL in the shop now - completely cleaned the interior today and plan for a complete external detail including some light polishing and sealing tomorrow. Lots of chrome to polish on that thing...
 
Broke in my new Flex VRG 3401 with surbuf pad and D300. Did test spots on my hood and trunk and ooh-la-la! Lovin' it! All spiderwebbing gone, gone, gone. My eyes hurt from viewing test spots in the sun!
 
As I get ready to go to a wedding I realize my black pleather shoes are faded. Reach for my shoe shine and I remember I threw it in the garbage awhile back. So, like any good detailer, I reach for Chemical Guys VRP Dressing. Worked great!
 
Ronkh,

What's your first impression of the Cima Sealant?

I applied Opti Seal to the Fusion's Tuxedo Black Metallic. It looks black/purple in the sun.
