What did you do detailing wise today?

W have a piano at work that is swirled up beyond belief. After meaning to polish it for a long time, i ran home today for my R15 and PE14. Didnt expect terribly htd paint so only brought the IHS pad and polish, HD polish and a thin pro white, and WG finishing glaze and a gold CCS.

The paint was much harder than i expected! R15 with the UHS added a lot of gloss but did little to level the scratches. The rotary did much better. Guess ill go back at it with some compound and purple kompressor pads tomorrow.

im the only one, but all the swirl marks on that piano just kills me to look at it!

They'll keep coming back unless you give the people something like spray and wipe and some good micro to clean it with.
 
Cleaned the SRT up for driving to work duty the rest of the week.

Had a beautiful 70 degree day so I got my tired butt out of the house and did a full two bucket wash on my 370Z. If the weather holds up I'll put a coat of Synergy on her tomorrow. Got to love 70 degree days in January!
 
Beautiful morning, i gave the Nissan a Rinseless Wash.

Got the XTERRA state inspected this morning. No issues. Always a good thing. And gave it a much needed interior detail and a good bath! It took a beating the last couple of weeks. Wow it was beyond dirty!

I washed the wife's car yesterday using AF Avalanche foam then CG CWG and then applied Pinnacle XMT spray wax today. On my daily driver, I used Avalanche, them washed with AF Lather. I missed a section (was washing in a different order) so I came back with Meg's D114 to fix that. I then applied Prima Banana Gloss. I would have thought something called Banana Gloss would smell like bananas but Prima does not seem to be into scents. All the tires were dressed with Mothers Reflections Tire Care and glass cleaned with Spray Way. Jambs were done with UWW+.
 
I followed up yesterday's wash of my 370Z with a coat of PBL Synergy. I bought the Synergy on Autopias Black Friday Sale for half price. This is the first time I've used it. Applies like any other paste wax. I was a little disappointed with the supplied yellow applicator. The applicator kind of fell apart upon use. It was not near the quality of the applicator that comes with Blackfire BlackICE Hybrid Wax. For the price a decent applicator should be included. I am happy they did not spend any extra money on another silly hardwood box!

Just enough time on Saturday to try out CG Citrus Wash & Gloss as a touchless winter road grime remover:


(sorry no before/after photos)

Paired with my foam cannon, CW&G allowed to dwell for ~5 minutes, followed by a pressure washer rinse. I was honestly surprised how effective CW&G was at knocking off the road grime. I highly recommend it.
 
I washed the wife's car yesterday using AF Avalanche foam.

Hey Al, where are you getting AF Avalanche from? The place in New Jersey? I missed the boat on picking up Avalanche when AG carried it. I will say, Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash & Gloss impressed me with it's dried up salt/ road grime removing abilities.
