What did you do detailing wise today?

Here's another photo after correcting my brothers 03 Grand Prix this past weekend. It was sealed with Ameriseal.

Yes they are. They have a little bit of damage on them but they look good. My bro picked them up for $300 a couple years ago off craigslist. They will be getting PBL wheel coating shortly.
 
Moved my detail stuff to the garage. Did my interior. And added the mountian/off road decal to the xterra. Guy makes them over at the xterra forum.

It installs above & below the factory badge.
 
Put the finishing touches on my bros car. He will be seeing his ride all cleaned up and in better shape on sunday when he gets back from vacation. I had these letters custom made for our Grand Prix's by Emblem Pors. These are black mirror stainless steel with a composite red trim.

Nice easter evening. So finished the xterra with a wash. (Did the interior sat). Have to say, PB SPRAY & GLOSS is off the charts as a drying aid! Really love this stuff.

Her escape is light duty. Really did not see much winter driving. Was just going to wash it, but it got a full mini detail. Wash and interior cleaned including glass. DP leather cleaner & conditioner on the seats. Wells dressed with hyper dressing. Tires got eco touch gel. Trim got CG trim restorer gel. Finished it with eco touch spray wax. Turned out great!

Now i can enjoy my day off tomorrow.
 
Got my first ever shipment of ONR this weekend thanks to all the great reviews and suggestions of this forum. I am in love wit th that blueberry scent. Anyways, in preparation for the upcoming mid week detail of my wife's car, I made a gallon of ONR Clay Lube and Quick Detailer using distilled water. I am chomping at the bit to work with my new DA once it comes in!!!
 
Got halfway done polishing a new Chrysler 200 Convertible which looks like it's been sanded... unbelievably bad paint for only 24k km. Pretty hard clearcoat too!

Had a customer come by at 2:30 this afternoon asking if I can do a full detail on his 2014 Q5... I said sure, when do you want to bring it in... he said well I'm heading out of town at 4 so now would be good...

LOL.

We ended up settling on a good wash and clean inside & out.. and once we had it in the shop I did the fastest polish I've ever done. Complete car including bumpers in 20 minutes. Literally 2-3 minutes per panel, with my new Rupes LHR21 just mowing through... used an AIO polish and wax so after doing the interior, wheels, wheelwells, engine bay, etc, we finished in 1 hour 30 minutes. Done by 4. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

He was blown away at the results, we got some extra money in the bank, all was good!

Deserved that end of day beer today :)
 
Nice, that's blasting through it. So did you use an all in one and a wax?

Should add a rush service to your business, 1.5x pricing or something.
 
Well didn't get around to polishing and Blackfire Coating this weekend. However did do a wash on Saturday morning followed by coating the door pillars and front grill with OGC. Then Sunday morning pulled the rear wheels, cleaned barrels and faces and protected with Reload. Cleaned and scotch guarded the carpet material in the wheels wells, cleaned and coated all the plastic in the wheel wells with OGC and cleaned up A-arms and struts.


Saturday morning wash. Vertical side panels only have 4 week old NanoShock on them right now. Still looking good......

Grill all done and looking good (regular wash didn't get all the bug splatter off and got a late start)

Pillars were in rough shape after only a few months of owning.
