What did you do detailing wise today?

Coating my dad's 02 Camaro Z28. Took the spoiler off to get better access to the rear hatch on the car and the underside of the spoiler.

Currently doing a full "Re-con" on my grandfathers '04 Chevy Trailblazer so we can sell it. OMG I spent 6 hours Saturday just on the interior and the door jambs. there was dirt and stuff still coming out of crevices today. So many buckets of water and towels. This reminds me why I don't like detailing for other people. You never know what your really getting into.
 
I did some detailing on my daily driver...


  • Pretreated front facia with Poorboy's Bug Squash
  • Washed with Blackfire Car Wash
  • Cleaned glass with Sprayway and Adam's Glass Cleaner (several revs back version)
  • Dressed tires with Mothers Reflections Tire Care
  • Jambs cleaned with CQ Speed Wipe
  • Front Mats spot cleaned with Adam's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
  • Interior cleaned with CG's Nonsense (1:1)
  • Interior protected with DP Total Interior Protectant
  • Coated leather protected with Poorboy's Leather Stuff
  • Cowling clean/dressed with Poorboy's Bold n Bright
  • General touch up with Ultima UWW+ including under the hood area
 
washed both mine and Girlfriend's cars , nothing fancy just a 97 Lexus ES300 and '98 Corolla, both beaters with body damage/rust that just run well and have been very reliable. Messed around with the interior of the Lexus and my Mc Culloch Steamer to see if i could get some stains out.

I was using my phone screen shot to show how warm it was.

Sorry if I offended anyone with the Fox News alerts....... :o
 
It was really nice friday eve, so finished up re-sealing ALL EXTERIOR PLASTIC TRIM with WGTS. Wanted to add, WGTS does a great job of protecting all that trim.
 
I detailed my doorjambs (for the first time). I normally just wipe them down but after seeing many posts I figured I'd give them the same care as the outside, so I; APC/Degreased them, wiped away all the grease/rust proofing, waterless washed, clayed, compounded, polished, and sealed with FK1000p and coated all rubber with 303. They look a million times better and shine/sparkle. Ruined some old towels in the processed (grease wouldn't come out even with APC wash).


I finished off by installing new interior lighting that doesn't affect night driving while on.











Then I had to detail the interior (it's been over 1 month) and I vacuumed for the first time since fall last year. Then I went on to removing old wax, compound and polish from the cracks that had been sitting their since my OP removal project (it was very time consuming to remove the excess product from every nook and cranny).


My new neighbors think I'm crazy already because I've been detailing something every day since I moved in 1 week ago, the Jeep' never looked so good!
