What did you do detailing wise today?

:D could not stand it anymore. washed away 3 weeks of winter crud and quick interior. neighbors probably thought "what a nut job". :rofl finished with a quick wipe down of BF polymer spray. (all in a driveway packed with snow yet).

clean now! for a day or two. :wall
 
I admired my recent coat of BF Deep Gloss Spray. I had applied it over a week ago and just back from a 1500 mile round trip to Mississippi.

It rained a lot on the way down but the car still looks quite clean. The tires are a different story. They look awful.

The forecast is in the 60s next week end - not bad for early January.
 
Too cold to wash by hand so took my DD to a new wash in town thinking it was touchless and it wasn't. :( Used Meg's Quik Wax as a drying agent. Car was detailed in fall with BFWD and BFCS recently. Lookin' good.
 
Yesterday I gave my A6 a wash:

Tires and wells cleaned with CG All Clean.
Wheels cleaned with DP wheel cleaner using the Montana boars hair brush and Daytona wheel brush.

Washed with Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo with a Car Pro Merino wool mitt on the upper panels and Micro-Chenille mitt on the lower areas.

Dried with the Master Blaster followed by some CG Speed Wipe and the Gold Plush Jr. mf's.

The good news is the car looked great, the bad news is that it is raining today :(
 
I finished the wife's car today - no pics yet.

Today I quik detailed my car using two of my new "garden tools"....

1. used my new leaf blower to blow off the leaves and dust, and blow out all the leaves that get in the wiper cavity - soooo easy - good cheap cordless one here:

2. did the garry dean thing with my Blackfire rinseless and MF's, again using the above to blow most of the rinseless off....

3. used my garden sprayer to soak my wheels with BF waterless.and clean them, I love the sprayer - no more "trigger finger fatigue" from a spray bottle on big jobs.

Nothing today. But a few weeks ago I did a new Camaro ZL1 in Black which took me 2 days to correct and finish.
 
can you say 60 degress!! unreal. :cool:

got up saturday morning and washed/detailed and did the engine on the xterra.

went with another coat of BF CS. then topped that off today with BF MSSW :D

:inspector: looking good. a mid winter detail.

:snow: :snowman:
 
since it hit almost 50, i did my birthday detail on the xterra. wash/interior/dry/bf polymer spray. all the PA salt is off...for now. :wall
 
ONR Rinseless washed my Truck on Friday, then gave it a coat of Pinnacle spray wax. Today I ONR Rinseless washed the wifes VW.
 
Hit the back half of my V with M105 and M205. Gonna do the rest next Friday on my day off and then give her a coat of M21 and M26.

Here is what the passenger rear quarter panel looked like. The whole cars looks like that too.:(

Off angle it doesn't look to bad.

More pics when she is done. I will try to get more shots of the before loaded.
 
Finally got around to using M101. All I can say is WOW. I found a new love.

I'd say there was "no mess" with M101 & only a minimal amount of dusting.
In My Humble Opinion M105 vs M101 are at opposite ends of the bell curve.
They both cut great. M101 is no mess, longer work time and a sweet finish.

I believe I have found a new one-two go-to combo. When can we get Gal?

I haven't washed our Equinox in about 3 months, it hasn't been driven 200 miles since then and has been raining all the time. Decided to clean it up real good and reapply PB EX Sealant. It needs a real good decon (tar everywhere on the bottom) but that can wait till spring.

I need to clean the truck up real good, but I'm waiting to trade it in in a month or two, so I'll wait for a good detail then.
 
I detailed a clients Red metallic Mazda 10 year old vehicle.

M100-4.jpg


I tried both M100 and M101 with a DA using Surbuf pads, Megs MF cutting Disc and Lake Country 5.5" Flat Orange Foam Pads.

I had very interesting results with both M100 and M101 using a DA with the different pads.

M100-2.jpg


M100, Megs 5" Microfiver cutting disc and a PC7424xp primed and ready.
M100-3.jpg


Also used M101 on a Flex PE-14 rotary with a 5" BP and LC 5.5" orange flat pads.

Never got around to trying M100 on the rotary with wool.
