Now how about a photo of the case of cold beer, tray of brownies, your freshly cut front lawn... i.e. thank you gifts for detailing everyone's car! I swear, your neighbors are lucky to have you around!!
 
I haven't done it yet, but I play to review the Wolfgang Ceramic Coating and try out my Boss G21 for the first time.

Can't wait for my work day to finish so I can get to detailing this weekend.

believe it or not angus, I don't charge friends and neighbors. i'm fortunate to be retired in one piece and most of my neighbors and friends never had any idea of what a real detail was (best they could do was a trip to the swirl o matic) and really appreciate it when they see it in person. just paying it forward and still having fun.
 
Spent a good deal of time and a great bit of DETAIL putting together (5) AR15 uppers/top ends for a friend today. 10" barrel, 16" barrel, 18" barrel and (2) 20 inch barrels. Several were very nice FN barrels. Yankee Hill quad rail and some set up for supressors. It was a good day.

nice... gunsmith detailing. :bigups was the 10" an AR pistol or short barrel rifle? still haven't built my AR10 yet.

These were just the uppers so it could be used either way but his intention was for a rifle with a suppressor. The owner came across some great prices on the stripped upper receivers and the barrels. He showed up with a bushel sized box full of solid parts and left with 5 competed uppers, he had both flat top and traditional uppers. We lapped the recievers and spent a bit of time doing some touch up with Perma Blue.


These are 4 of the 5.

First thing she says this morning? "Where did that scratch in the hood come from?" Now that her car is super clean the deep scratch I need to touch up and wet sand is waaaay more obvious. :wall
 
Rinseless wash with Wolfgang Uber and Microfiber Rinseless Wash Mitt. The wash mitt really is nice, it felt silky smooth going over the paint.

Spent 6 hours Saturday detailing the interior on my dads Tacoma. 168K miles of ridden hard and put away wet. Wish I had taken time to take pictures it was pretty bad lots of scratch ticket gray scratching ground into the dash and the top the steering column and lots grease stains and spilled coffee stains. Vacuum, apc deep cleaning, Meguiars quick interior cleaning, shampoo and extraction on the seats and carpet (then I put heat and a/c on high and let it run for 20 minutes to dry), cleaned the weather tech floor mats and interior bits like cup holders and door sills that were removable while it dried, Cleaned the windows, last 2 coats 303 protectant 20 minutes to set up then wipe excess off with clean micro fiber. Interior looks brand spanking new other then drivers seat cover which has few holes from wear, told dad I will go to the dealer and get oem seat covers and I will replace them for him. He thinks its a waste getting new covers but I don't he is my dad he deserves it.
 
Yesterday, 2013 BMW 335i. Nice car. Paint correction. Came out really nice. I used Poorboy's ssr 2.5 and then 1. Finished up with Black hole and polish with carnuba.
 
Scheduled a coating detail for a Lexus for next weekend and worked on my website and logo.

I've got a few rough drafts for my logo but I need to spend more time on it.

Used this product over the last couple of weeks on the work trucks.
Very impressed with this product.

Maybe the best tire foam aerosol can tire dressing I have used to date.
Gives a very nice, clean, understated shine.
Not too much, but just right.
A detailed look without an over done showroom max shine, gloss, etc....
