What did you do detailing wise today?

Sun shots...I only did zirkon on the top half. Got lazy and high gloss is still going strong on the rest of the car anyways

Looks great.

Front tires look a little thin,though. :-)
 
Yes I will need new tires soon (or now) on the front. They`ve lasted close to five years.

Five years. Not bad.

I could never get more than 15k out of my Pilot Sports on my SRT8. The tread was still good on them,but they got real slippery.

The OEM Goodyears were awful. I gave them away after one summer.
 
New car prep on this 2018 Chevy Equinox with the Redline Package.

One step polished followed by Cquartz TiO2 + Gliss.

I’ll eventually have a write up on this one.

I am waiting to put on the 2nd coat of MOHS. I have finished with the 2st and coated the windshield with 3 coats of G1 and the other glass with G5 so far.

Found a hitchhiker in the air filter box. Wonder how many miles he has. One thing for sure his ride is over, he’s hard as a rock!

I’m happy with it. First time engine bay has been cleaned. 12 years old Ridgeline with 153,000
Forgot to take pic of right side of engine
Also I used McKee’s engine degreaser and I highly recommend it It is a very good product

First of all, great job!

I`ve a question- how did you clean the wiring connectors next to the windshield washer reservoir?

I`m very leery of all the wiring and the associated plugs, computers, etc.
 
I sprayed McKee’s on the wires and plugs from the top, let it sit a couple minutes then using a spray bottle of water sprayed water on them then wiped with microfiber then blew off with air. Some areas I rinsed with water hose. If I didn’t have compressed air, I would’ve been a little weary too

Plastic was dressed with chemical guys VRP to bring color back. In a week or so I will spray everything with Meguiars D156 spraywax

Washed my car today. I used the BOSS foamer with the Surface Wash,then the PolyGloss. Came out great.

Since it hasn`t been washed for about 2 weeks and a few rainstorms later, I had to clean the wheels beforehand.

I washed my wife`s car on Friday, using same method without having to scrub the wheels. No rainstorms for hers. And was washed a week ago.

I`m looking forward to getting their Surface Prep. I`m hoping to use that on the wheels and wheel wells and possibly eliminate the wheel scrubbing.

I am sure getting lazy^_^
 
With the help of a friend we put my shelves together and I started setting all my garage stuff up. Still a ways to go but its finally looking better on this wall. I need to get rid of more stuff but I`m happy with the progress.

Pretty much all the stuff to the left of the shelves still needs some work but that`s enough for today as my trash bins are stuffed.

That is one mean looking jeep! Tastefully done.
 
Weekly bug removal! My before didn`t take for some reason. I used to get away with washing every other weekend, but now even if I drive one night it`s covered. So weekly now... EX Sealant seems to be holding up real well 2 months in.

Yes I parked my truck in the grass. You can place a hillbilly in town, but not take it out of them:P
 
The owner got back from Sturgis yesterday and picked up his car and I got a couple pics on the way to his place. This is pretty much all coated with Syncro, leather shield and Dlux with G1 and G5 on the glass T1 on the tires and I1 on carpet and mats.

From Sturgis to an Alfa, the owner must be quite interesting.
 
He is my step son and had four people in his group want their bikes done after the saw how a fully coated bike cleaned up on the little 2500 mile trip. He picked that up from me the day before he left and left his car.

Here is a pic with him in it.
