What's everyone doing for detailing this weekend. I'm going to wash and probably put a coat of Souveran (if it stops raining) Supposedly it's going to be 50's all week in Ohio next week, VERY unseasonable weather, but we can't complain :) x-mas shopping too: 1 for me, 1 for you, 2 for you, 1, 2, for me :D



BTW, if you've been to the autopia chatroom it looks vaguely familiar ;)
 
Gonna try and wash today.



D-Day museum tomorrow and maybe the Children's museum as well. I will be kinda busy.



Steve come on down and do my truck for me I trust ya. Maybe I will let you drive it too. And take this weather you gave us back darn 50's here whats up with that?
 
Guess, you're lucky you're at 50°, if we had the weather we're supposed to be having, you'd be even more screwed.
 
I am going to wash my cars. They have a lot of dust built up on it since it hasn't rained in about 2 weeks. I just hope it cools off a bit so I can do a couple more panels of Blackfire.



Can any of these products we use be used on stainless steel? I am getting a new refrigerator and stainless steel sometimes shows fingerprints. I thought a coat of AIO might help that.

BIGBOYHF,



I thought BF could be applied in the sunlight or was did I read something wrong in another thread?



I am curious is all since it is always sunny here for the most part.
 
Was the car, clean the windows and apply one layer of Glaze. If I don't think I am going to be layering anymore glaze for the winter season (I think I have 5 on there now), I will just wax the car once a week from here on.



:bounce
 
It looks like it's finally going to stop raining this weekend, so wash the Lincoln Saturday, and then the Explorer Sunday. Probably will add another layer to the Explorer for a little more extra winter protection. :up Don't know how many more chances I'll get before the el crapo weather hits.
 
I'll probably try cleaning and Z1,Z2 and Z6 the the rims this weekend and one coat of Z2/Z6 on the paint. I really need to drive this garage queen since the weather is going to be in the upper 60's and save all this detailing for the pending bad weather over the next few months.:rolleyes:
 
My car needs a bath badly so I'll do that tomorrow AM. But I wanted to do a good detail too. Won't get my new PC until 12/4. Was hoping to use it with BF and get some serious protection going for the winter. If BF arrives today I'll prolly have to half-ass it by hand - something's better than nothing.



Got a busy month planned in December so I'm not sure how much time I'll really have to do some serious work. I hate it when a plan doesn't come together.



Oh well, at least I'll get to put all my new MF towels to good use.
 
Done washing. I will put dressing on plastic and tires in the AM before I leave.



I had to wear Jeans today! Whats up with this cold spell? 50F gosh darn it!
 
Have not washed my LS430 in a month. No, I am not sinning. I remove any surface dirt (bird poop, etc.) immediately and QD everyday . . . sometimes twice, if necessary! And, I keep the car covered when it is not in motion (!).



So, I only need to wash when a "film" starts to build up on the car. Takes about a month. So, tomorrow, it's "wash the car" day.
 
look at the time! :eek: I've been packing stuff all night.



I have to get up to go to the post office in the morning, but i'll probably sleep most of the day, so car washing will have to wait till Sunday.
 
For both of my cars, just Z6 or OG Show-Off with a MT, and wiping down the interior.



Then I'm going to try Souveran and Paint Cleansing Lotion on my dad's brick... err... Volvo.
 
I went outside earlier today and it was a bit nippy (40 degrees). Plus, I need to get my right rear window's regulator replaced.

It's supposed to be warmer next week and I will take care of it.
 
I was gonna wash the car today. But i spent most of the day shopping for a new snow blower. Maybe tomorrow i'll have the energy.
 
Today I waxed my roof, cleaned my wheels, waxed the door jams, Black Magic'd my running boards, and Back-to-Black'd my air deflector on the liftgate. I also took apart one of my fried amps in the back, so now it smells like burned-up amp and cologne! :D I also spot QD'd some places, and thats about it. I was going to wax my running boards before winter, but it wont get done today.
