Stripped any wax with OPC, did two IPA wipedowns, and added a coat of gloss coat ahead of winter. In a week, I`ll top with PBL coating booster, then WGDG. Get this puppy stocked and loaded. Just with the extra coat of GC, the paint is slick as snot!

Meant to post this a couple weeks ago... Noticed one of my employees had absolutely awful headlights. Some shady dude at a gas station walked up to him- his headlights were a little hazy before- and offered to fix them for $10. He paid and the dude just straight destroyed his lights. I have no idea how he could see anything..
So that`s what au started with. Horrible!
10 minutes with the PE-14 and the Mirka sanding discs, finished off with some m101...
Ta da!
Needless to say, he was much appreciative(I did it for free).

One of the best detailing moments is to step in and fix someone else`s clueless destructions. It really separates you from almost any other detailer around. Especially when the customer says you`re the best they`ve had.
Also I very much dislike hacks that call themselves detailers. Even here in Palm Springs, I`ve seen some nice cars being abraded with bed sheets and bath towels and I just quietly think they would have way better results if I detailed it.

I don`t get to spend much time detailing anymore with the new job. It was good to do a favor for one of my guys.

6 caps of this. I`ll write a review soon on this.
I was really proud to look at the Airstream and Jeep because I worked on both of them.

So I used the rupes soap I got on two cars this morning didn`t get pics of the 300c but I did of the vette
Nice shine on both but I`m wondering if it`s more like a rinse less wash as it didn`t stay sudsy but it sure has lots of lubricant to it. Also it works better to dry without a drying aid, when I used a drying aid it kept streaking and would buff out well
Would I buy this yes but only for personal vehicle or for a high paying regular customer but not for average car wash

That is the way the soap is designed to be with little to no suds. The Rupes soap with no wax is the same way.
I clayed for the first time today using the blue Clay Magic bar and ONR. I was very impressed by how smooth the paint felt after the first pass. Thanks to autopia for all your tips; I cut the bar in half only using one of those halves and as I cleaned up I put it back into a ziplock with a few sprays of QD to keep it from drying out.

Washed the wife`s car this morning. She has been working long hours and weekends so I don`t get many chances to wash it now. Up at 4am, started washing by 4:45am, done and back inside at 6am and at work by 7am.
Cleaned my roommates headlights. There was really bad etching and only had 500-2000 sand paper. The sanding disks in the 3M kit I had didn`t see to work to good either. How much more aggressive could I go with this or are they just shot. He likes them. They are better than when I started. I`m just curious if they could get better, with starting out with a more aggressive sanding grit.

Gave my truck a thorough coating of Meguiars express wax. Had to wipe off all the streaks from Meguiars all season dressing running down the door panels during the rain. Gave my wife`s Durango and good wiping with Sonax Brilliant shine detailer. Her Durango also had the Meguiars all season dressing running down the door panels
