No sleep, 7 day work weeks, The Pebble Beach Concours d`Elegance crazy schedule has been going on for over a month. Can`t wait for a more normal schedule.

I used bfsrc on lc thin pro orange finished with bftps on b&s eurotech yellow with my gg6" and 5" bp. It was heavily marred up and oxidized but it looks amazing now except for the deeper scratches. It looks as if I spent hrs on the exterior when it only took bout 2-2.5 not including the wash time

1st up : Wheels & a wash to prep for a 1step + Wax
Next up : Fix the wheels, after 2 coats of BFTT&TS (whipped off the balcony)
Much better, so I put Gyeon on all trim, takes a while
to dry, hope it stays dark.
Now the learnin` part : I wanted to start bringing my DD up to standards, so I tried a 1 step.
I was going to use a Glaze w/sealant but at the last moment I picked BF TP&S with white pads.
On a DD and didn`t check my work till I was 1/2 done !
I should have switched to the glaze but kept going.
The 1 step w/white pads did nothing for the swirls except made them stand out proud !
I wanted to try Vic`s Red Wax, it did fill some and deepened the color.
First time polishing this truck and needed to see how long it would take. (getting faster , not as tired)
Plus : My first coating I put on the glass. After polishing with Pinnacle Glasswork, Mc37 Rocked !

Job #1 completed today.
BRZ wash/clay/iron remover then a layer of black hole and one layer of PA master sealant. Cars paint is hammered. Looks good for what he wanted. Couldn`t get any good picks with the lighting of before and after.
On a side note. I`m always gonna take my machines to apply a sealant or glaze. My shoulder is on fire after working in the black hole.

PA DETAILER
DETAILED TODAY?
Normal peaceful Saturday morning wash/interior. Quick reapplication of Hydro Blue. (I LOVE THIS STUFF!!). Then went out later to do the hateful tasks that no one likes to do. At least on a Xterra. Retreated the roof plastics with Griots black shine trim restorer (Gel). I have found out this is really a top notch product. It has never failed on the Xterra`s plastics and trim. And the dreaded wiper cowl. Did this with Mothers back to black aerosol trim restorer. Aerosol makes it so much easier for this application. Wiped the overspray off. Done. Rest of the weekend is decompress and MILLER TIME!!

That is a deep shine on the tires. I have been using the Gyeon tire for my tires. Let us know how the PRESERVE holds up. Any sling etc...

Going to do this next week. Putting some TREMOR (Force Two) style stripes on a 2016 F150. Wish me luck, I haven`t put larger stripes on a vehicle in years. Last time I did it was on a 70 Mach 1, about 20 years ago. I know this won`t be to many peoples tastes, it is definitely something different for me to do. I haven`t done anything but be a de-badger for years.
Ehhh... If I hate it they will come off.

This is an update :
I let the truck sit for 24hrs then took it out in the sun. The BF polymers and Vic`s red wax must have settled into place.
Because I had to really look hard to find any swirls...So it`s a DD and I can live with it `till I`m ready to correct it . Got lucky
The Gyeon Preserve I put on thick, and it did sling, 3` on each side on front doors. Still abit wet too.
It came out OK
Not too shabby

How easily did it spread on the tires, and what type of applicator did you use?

So I may or may not have been neglecting the beater truck. The other vehicles have been getting some love, but I think its been since last September it got a proper scrubbing.
So, I know it`s not in typical Autopia fashion, but it had to be cleaned with the assistance of some degreaser. No befores, but you can only imagine what it looked like sitting in the backyard for 6 months...
Still need to level out the clearcoat some more, but now I can park it infront of the house without shame...
