detailed a neighbor`s 2014 hyundai santa fe. megs ultimate fast finish as a lsp.

 

[tropicsteve]

detailed a neighbor`s new to him 2017 lease cadillac xt5. unfortunately this was a prior dealership loaner car and had seen better days. the delaership told him that it was armor coated(?) but the finish just didn`t look good and sounded like sandpaper while i was washing it. figured i would have to polish the coating out, but i was surprised when just claying the finish really helped restore it to a better state. i did apply a coat of stay fresh titanium (ceramic infused wax) and it really brought back the finish. i`m glad it saved a lot of extra work and still looked good.

Yesterday I prewashed my car with snowfoam with the foamcannon. Then 2bm with carpro reset and dried it. I then wiped over the car with angelwax QED. Really like that qd as it gives a shine almost as wax does. It`s treated with gyeon wet coat and the shine of that is a bit to brigth IMO. With QED it got some wetlook to it.
Today was an on going detail to my stepfathers car and began with claying the windshield and then cleaned it with angelwax vision. Took care of all the inside windows with it also and it`s a good windowcleaner. Then a few birdbombs on the hood and wiped it of with sonax bsd.
If the weather alows I will start to decon wash his working truck tomorrow. There is much tree sap and hydroilic oils on it since he works with hauling out timber from the forest with a forestry machine.

Getting a 2017 F150 ready for Gyeon Mohs & Gyeon Booster, aka Poor Mans Gyeon Durabead. Although from what I could find, Mohs + Booster is pretty much the same cost as Durabead.

Trying for Ron-Quality white, no doubt will fall short on the clarity. Pretty new truck, very light swirls that Flex with HD Polish+, white LC Force Hybrid pad is handling quickly.

Did this for a client’s spare tire for his Toyota Forerunner TRD edition:

Face of wheel was coated with Mckee’s Paint Coating face and barrel and face of tire coated with TW tire coat. The wheel will be mounted under the truck where it will be punished by the weather...rain, snow, etc

 

[PA DETAILER]

Washes and details are going to be close to a end here in PA. Nice morning for one today. Normal wash/interior and dried with Extender spray wax. Paid close attention to the door jambs and glass with the ESW. Love this has a drying aid!!

Wife hit the garage a few days ago. Dents and paint transfer. Rim damage from the curb.

Got about half of the paint off using mineral spirits. Half of the rest by claying. The remainder by wet sanding with 3000 grit.

Jescar compound.
Jescar finishing polish.
CarPro Eraser.
Moonlight.

Paint and scratches gone. (That`s reflection at the fold of the fender.) Not happy with the dents. Hopefully a PDR guy can fix them soon.

Ground her before the state takes away her driving privileges.

Been slowly working out the swirls and other defects. The winning combo is Meguiars solo cut and Meguiars microfiber cutting pads. This belongs to a fellow NCO

...it turned out to be deceptively large.

I hear you there. Mine is a short bed but I have to get up in the bed and get a platform out to wash it completely. I can’t reach the center of the hood or roof without the platform. In all seriousness, I can clean my Edge in half the time.

Fortunately my lanky arms could reach middle of hood...barely. Took a lot of Mohs to cover it twice. Booster too. Will be interesting to watch the combo. Booster is kinda a `faith based` application cuz it flashes instantly.

So I did a friends crv again but this time I clayed and polished it before putting sonus ion paint coating on

Was going through my coatings and was hoping to use GTechniq CSL and Exo V3 a go. Unfortunately CSL has gone bad and has started to crystallize. So be sure to use your bottle within a year as GTechniq recommends. I bought this in October of 2016.

Here`s another. Just used this a month ago and was about to use it again. It has turned cloudy and started to crystallize as well.

Bought a second hand set of Euro-spec tail lights for my DD (with amber turn signals which still appear red when off, instead of red turn signals). They were described in better condition than they actually were, arriving well packaged but with a fair but of scuffs and scratches. Polished with Menzerna PF2500 and IS1500 on the bad spots. Wiped down with Eraser and put on FK1000p prior to installation. Probably 85%+ solved. I haven`t noticed the remaining defects in normal lighting yet.

Unfortunately, I started to clean up the garage for the winter. Most of the chemicals are down in the basement, hoses are dry and put away, and the faucets are turned off.
However, I did get the new lights installed in the garage, and ordered 2 Gyeon silk dryers with the Sema sale
