gave my truck a bath and a coat of hd poxy. directions said to let it cure for 30-40 min before buffing off, which I did and it was a pia to remove. eventually got it off and went back over it with aqua wax spray just to clean up the finish. kind of reminds me of griots bos wax once it sets up, so i'll just let it haze up next time before removing. it does leave a nice finish though.

Heat and humidity? (wait a couple of months).......... :D
 
Rinsed pollen off at coin opp and drove home

my two friends going to work on their rides with my tools and direction...my buddy with the black car has a date this weekend and asked me if i could help him shine up his ride. We previously put black hole + nattys black on the paint about two months ago maybe.

He had not washed it once since. He did a coin op rinse then drove over. Spray and gloss did the rest for us.

Then liquid nattys red.

Put in a coat of Dodo Blue Velvet Pro. I think it's from 2009.

A really nice wax.. Does not smear or leave holograms on black. If you see ghosting in the paint - they are just reflections from the ceiling.

Just a quick rinseless wash with WG Uber, simple interior wipe down. Also put a coat of Celeste Detagglio. Very nice product... Spreads super thin and wipes off easy.
 
was late to work by about 5 minutes..had to wipe down the front end of my car, then ended up wiping down about half of it

my boss asked why I was late and I replied "for cleanliness reasons" and she said -- for you or your CAR ? lol she knows whats up
 
Flood rinsed my Challenger to try to remove the pollen sitting there.
Wiped down with S&G

one more coat of Nattys Black to hood, roof and above the angle down the sides of the car. Beginning sat night show prep.

Nattys red, LNB or LNR next?

Also rinsed my truck off at coin opp just a few mins ago and dried with uber qd spray down then cobra waffle weave. Now its shiney again!
 
Washed my extremely filthy truck.

Didn't get to finish everything, weather was crappy and overcast but my back started to give me h#!! and so did the wife. Only got any polishing done on the right of the cab and the hood, then topped everything with a spray wax for the week.

Ended up using the Meguiar's MF cutting pad and the MF correction compound that came in the kit. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish that step and finish the truck next weekend.

Couldn't get a good 50/50 due to the overcast but that's a before and after.

The polished corner.

Best I could get with the lighting.


On a different note, used my Nanoskin Autoscrub sponge for the first time today, amazing. Saved me about 20 pieces of clay just from dropping it. I'm also loving the MF pads.

The passenger rear blinker bulb and windshield wipers needed to be replaced as well which I did for the karma. She gets a shiny vehicle and I get to scratch the detailing itch :) Everyone wins.
