No I have not. What is the Garry Dean Method? A search didn't find anything.

Dean.:cool:

It's a modified rinseless. You put a gallon or two of rinseless wash in a bucket. You soak 5 to 10 microfibers in the bucket. Then you use those microfibers one by one like you would a normal rinseless, except when you're done with the panel and the mf is dirty, you just put it away. Start using the next MF and so on. You use MFs to dry after the wet rinseless MF like normal. It's a one bucket rinseless :)

This is a great idea!......
 
Yesterday: Decided I was tired of the Cquartz/Reload on the Tiburon. A year of daily driving added its share of RIDS & just plain scratches and, while looking great to "normal" folk, just wasn't doing it for me anymore. Polished it mostly with Flex 3401 + 5" LC Hybrid White + M205 with some Metabo + 4" LC CCS Black + M205 in tight areas & PCXP + 5" Megs Cutting MF + D300 for deeper stuff. Finish polished/prep'ed with Wolf's Shine & Seal on Flex 3401 + 5" LC CCS Green. LSP was Wolf's Hard Body applied with GG6 + 6" LC Flat Blue. Awesome would be an understatement.

Also, the 2013 Estoril Blue BMW 335i showed up for a little WETS on the rubber trim around the windows (prep'ed with OPC & IPA). These areas seem to soak in everything and get mottled looking.

Today: Jambs with CG EcoSmart Waterless plus vacuum and interior wipe down of the Tiburon with UWW+. Will also likely wash the Sonata later.
 
I don't know if this counts as "detailing" but it involves detailing supplies. I put up a shelf to hold some stuff. Then I got an idea, and put up chain that I had laying around the garage for spray bottles.

For some this is no big deal. But when you only have a narrow single car garage and a lot of detailing chemicals, a pressure washer, mechanics tools, and 4 tubs of microfibers, anything that creatively uses space is awesome.

Now I have more room to buy more stuff.

Yesterday, I cleaned the interior of my MKZ daily driver...now over 65K miles.

After vacuuming with the Metro, I clean the interior with 1z Cockpit Premium. I used a newly purchased version with a new sprayer (previous version was more than 3 yrs old). It also smelled a little bit differently (better) with a more citrus scent but not as "zesty" as the older one.

I also cleaned the floor matts with CG NONSENsE full strength (said dilute 20:1). I will have to test this more later.

I then applied Blackfire Protectant on the plastics. It is white with a medium consistency and spread very evenly and buffed down well. I apply to applicator then spread.

On the front leather seats, I cleaned then with Four Star Leather Cleaner and applied Leather Masters Protection Cream.

I need to finish up the glass today.
 
not really feeling well (all fricken week) but wanted to get outside and do the xterra. mid 40's. tried megs APC+ mixed 10:1 on the wheels & tires. well, quite impressed. it did a fine and safe job. i might up the mix in the future. but wanted to try it out as my new decitated wheel & tire cleaner. this is going to save $ instead of buying single wheel & tire cleaners. :bigups

did the tires again in STONERS aerosol tire shine. (this is winning me over big time)

and finished up with a wipedown of BF POLYMER SPRAY.

for someone who never gets sick, hope i kick this *itch soon!!
 
^ Ditto. Been sneezing and coughing all week! I had to postpone a couple of cars but have been getting some website work and writing done instead.
 
I ended up doing a rinseless wash (ONR V3, two bucket method with multiple mitts) on the wife's car and then dressed the tires with PB's Bold n Bright gel. I used PB's Spray and Wipe on the jambs.

I also tried out a new glass towel (looks/acts like a shammy like the absorber) for my final wipe. I do not like my MFT edgeless on glass - roll way to easily.
 
Gee Pat, I was doing the same thing.....

Doing the glass makes a huge difference when driving especially at night. I used Pinnacle's new Glass Cleaner with water repellant...:bigups
 
Gave some TLC to the Q7 today. No paint correction needed, but time for some cleaning and protection letting the metallic white pop again.

ONR wash
Clay with Sonus fine clay using Blackfire clay lube
Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish on the GG6 with LC 5.5" white flat Constant Pressure Pads
Blackfire All Finish Paint Protection with blue LC flat pad
Tires dressed with Blackfire Total Eclipse Tire Gel

Now super slick and clean with that metallic sparkle looking quite nice!
 
After the last two days of rain and a wintery mix, had today off and gave my Colorado truck a 2 bucket, 1 w/ grit guard, rinseless wash w/BF and used 7 MF towels.
 
Sleet and rain most of the day and 34 degrees....:snow:

Went to the Tractor Supply Store and looked at a new chainsaw. I'm looking at the Husqvarna 455 and the Husqvarna 460, not sure which one.....
