What did you do detailing wise today?


On Friday / Saturday I went ahead and some basic maintenance.

  • K&N air Filter: Removal and cleaning
  • Engine bay: Cleaning / wipe down with UWWP, Meg's APC+, Meg's Super Degreaser. Coated with Sonus T&MK (x3)
  • Windshield: Cleaned and re-application of Wolf Glass Guard (x2)
  • Wheels: Removed to check breaks. Cleaned with Meg's APC+, TarX, IronX. Polished by hand using Wolf Shine & Seal. Sealed with Pinnacle BL Surface Coating. (x2)
  • Car: Got a wipe down using UWWP.


 
did washer mod to Rupes 21.

Had a customer call and ask If I could remove a local dealership badge from her brand spanking new pearl white Mercedes. I said yes.

Got it off, wiped the spot down with Eraser, then applied a dab of wolgang sealant to the area. All for free.

detailed the pick up of a neighbor's brother visiting from West by God Virginia. they had a pretty bad winter and he was glad to get it done. had some new old stock menzerna one step acrylic jacket (cleaner,polish,sealant) and was surprised how well it worked. can anyone advise what menzerna new product is similar? the closest i could find was Menzerna APO 60 Sealing Wax
 
Had a boat, Car, and suv lined up for my four days off. Guess what, it rained and all had to be rescheduled.
 
Cleaned my vehicles today. Black label wash and coating booster applied to my bl coated truck.
Pinnacle rinseless wash on the challenger. Lazy days are productive too sometimes

Tried out some meguiar's DUB metal polish on my exhaust tip after I washed my car. Also applied some sonus acrylic glanze to boost the 7 month old klasse on the car.

Menzerna color lock after a quick PB waterless wash.

Love color lock, super simple to apply by DA and effortless removal.

I spent about 6 hours on my truck. Wash and wax with Wolfgang Rudolph. It was a pleasure to apply and remove. The pollen is piling up but not any worse than it was before the fresh wax.

Cleaned up my MKZ to get ready for the final polishing and protecting tomorrow.

The initial process:
  • Cleaned wheel are with Optimum Power Clean -- OPC did not get off all the tire brown so will get that tomorrow with Mothers tire cleaner
  • Foam with Auto Finesse Avalanche (Cam Spray foam cannon) - cleans very nicely
  • Emblem and fuel filler prewash with P21s TAW
  • Foam with Ultima Paint Guard Wash using my new Griots Foam Gun
  • Wash two bucket with Ultima and PB Wash Mitt
  • Dried with the Master Blaster
  • Cleaned jambs with Ultima WWW+
  • Finished with an adult beverage

Tomorrow: clean tires, prep trim for protectant, paint clean, sealant, wax.
