What did you do detailing wise today?

[GearHead_1]

Don't know what I was thinking. Actually they don't look much like them at all. Maybe that's what they're talking about when the memory fails.

Ha! Yup, they look more like the Honeycomb ones. Anyway, that's what went through my mind.

did a one step with megs swirl-x and sealed a friend's 2014 Nissan with the new megs paint protect. the new sealant was very easy to use and left a nice slick finish. supposed to have a year of durability at a great price. time will tell. excuse the tires, but ran out of daylight after short notice.

Can't wait to hear about the durability. I was thinking about using this for little quick side jobs. I guess for $10 I should just pick some up though huh?

This is some good information to pass onto you from Mike Stoops over at Meguiar's Online.

Welcome to MOL, Loach!!

We appreciate you taking the time to put that video together, but we want to point out a few things about the behavior of this product and how you might want to slightly alter your test, should you decide to do a follow up video.

First off, while a 24 hour cure time is indeed important, what is perhaps even more important is that the product be allowed to sit for a week or so, and then wash the car. Doing that will allow any of the "carrier ingredients" and oils from the product to dissipate and get washed away. That then allows the true nature of the product to show through. What we'd love to see is Paint Protect side by side with the same product you used in this video, then a week later wash the car (or just the hood, for demo purposes, if you wish), and compare the results. Then wash it again. And again. Let's then see what's left of this and the other product.

Remember, we aren't saying that this product will have the tightest beads in the world, just that the beading will extremely long lasting. One is maybe a very short lived "ooh and aah" trick, the other is actually a very desirable feature of the product.

I'm still amazed the finish still looks so good with all the driving you do. definitely not a garage queen.:bigups

Finally got my four Splash Guards that I bought from Ebay……
Cost me a total of about $16.00 compared to the OEM ones for about $120 ..lolz

Anyways, had to hurry up and get them on before it starts raining here this evening!

All the screws and fasteners came with them….(ended up painting the screws black since they were greenish)

Took wheels off completely and decontaminated the wheel wells with D101, D143, Iron X, and Tar X and then coated all the plastic under the wheel wells with Gtechniq's C4

Next, I wiped down the plastic Splash Guards with D101 and then finally coated all them with Gtechniq's C4 as well to protect them from the elements and keep them looking newer longer.

Wont wash the car until after the rains……….

here are some pics of the process…..

I did a Exterior Paint correction and Gloss Enhancement with CQuartz FINEST yesterday.

The car had a New England Patriots license plate...so I let half the air out of all four tires.

Cleaned the MTB. It didn't start off as a detail, just normal wash/wipe down but things escalated. Ended up using Nanoskin on the painted surfaces and applying TPnS followed by BFWD all by hand. The bike looks good now but that will be destroyed next weekend when I take it out again but oh well. A clean bike is a fast bike.

It was almost 55 (sun was in and out) and got to wash my Dakota,

I selected AF Lather then applied Pinnacle XMT360 Spray Wax. The Pinnacle wax is so easy to apply, darkens the paint slightly, and some durability plus it smells nice.

Quick spritz....

 

[PA DETAILER]

Heat wave in PA today. So, full clean/detail on the xterra. Engine cleaned and finished with sonus motor kote. Noticed the dp paint coat fading, so a coat of prima hydro max. The beauty of hydro max is a 15-20min WOWO sealant thats as easy to use as a QD.

Can't believe temps actually got into the mid 40's for the weekend. Took advantage.

UWW rinseless on the Ram
