What did you do detailing wise today?

Installed an xpel headlight film kit on my brothers new headlights for his 99 Tahoe. Topped the film with Gyeon trim.

Coated his new taillights as well with Gyeon Trim.

she (car club member) won this bag last christmas at our club party in a charity raffle I held

she cherishes it...I topped off her Spray and Wipe bottlw when she wasn`t around and took her bag and moved it to see how long it`d take her to notice

she sits down and I kid you not, ten seconds or less later she tells her husband "I`m gonna have to box someone, the goodie bag is GONE!"


that`s detail related

It’s worn but boy is it clean. You all would be surprised if you would have seen it before. I didn’t go in without gloves on it was so bad. I generally will vacuum without gloves but not this time and I used meguiars Detailer’s apc almost 1:1 ratio and the nicotine was just melting off everything

So I had a car scheduled for a detail and a scuff to be removed from the top. The guy owns a Hotel Resort 5 minutes from where I live

And, this is the car...

So I started talking about the proper upkeep methods. He noticed I had “The Passion” and he didn’t even know a good Detailer. They have available mobile guys for their customers but none of them were any good. So I’m going to give him a stack of cards and my services will be available to their customers.

Also he knows a lot of people with high end cars but no high end detailers. Well, now he does. He’s talking Ferrari, Bentley SUV, Rolls Royce... we will see how this goes!

It looks like I may get into the high end market, and put those expensive Rupes polishers to work!

I put mckees RW at QD dilution in my Swiffer sprayer bottle and did my kitchen floors with a few crappy micros

smells like green apples in my kitchen now :)
 
DA polished my windshield with Ceriglass (LC orange on PC), washed, dried, coated with Forte.

Had a weird experience with Forte I may write about in another thread. Other than the first crescent-shaped wipe with the applicator, I couldn`t tell I was applying anything. No flash over, nothing. I followed instructions. I used about 9mL of product (15mL "50% bonus" bottle) on a not-that-huge sedan windshield. If I wanted to see wet-then-flashing over the whole thing I would have needed 50mL or so, maybe more, with constant squirts (not drips) on the applicator. Hope I didn`t just waste time and money. It`s cool today, would have expected to see a "working time" before flash over more like Rain-X.
 
Washed a co-workers civic. I was pressed for time, so no before or during pictures but I did a foam and 2 bucket wash. Used BDX as an iron remover and wanted to clay but was coming up on my time limit as I still had to wax. Which I used natty`s liquid Red. And hydro 2 on the rims.
