    Washed my car with Rupes m101 to get rid of the dust that accumulated over the night.

    Then I coated the car with Gyeon Mohs Q2 and Kamikaze Over Coat, restored the trim with PB and dressed the tires.















    Man, the coating process takes way too long. I am really considering going back to sealants!

    Thanks!

    I`m sure I`ll be glad when I see that dirt and grime fly right off when I start washing it again.

I asked him if he`s been keeping up with the proper techniques and he said he got lazy and impatient with the 2 buckets and careful wipes so he went back to doing quick sloppy washes .... in his defense he said he`ll bring it back to me for more business once it gets screwed up.

    First time for me using Hydro 2, so i ended up either spraying a bit more than i should have, or letting it sit too long (i only waited 25-30 seconds)....so maybe according to the outside temperature/humidity i should`ve done less since it left some spots, but they buffed out fairly easily with a clean towel that was slightly damp from leftover water drops on the paint. Overall this stuff worked well and the owner was impressed with how easy it is and how long that bottle will last him.

    It left a really nice shine on the surface.







    didn`t bother with the wheel wells since he just wanted a quick wash for the purpose of the demo. Wheels and tires(previously dressed with PERL) cleaned up by just pressure rinsing them off.
    a quick question.. are u dressing all that vinyl ??

    Thankfully not really! He cleans it himself and he always dresses everything. Not sure what kind of stuff he used before I got my hands on it(definitely over the counter) . When I first polished it, I only dressed the wells and running boards with PERL, then I gave it a maintenance wash and hit everything with D156 and this last time I only topped the tires with more PERL. I give him a good price, so since I know his vinyl always looks dressed I just leave it alone.

    Aren`t you a little too old for that? I do remember getting warm chocolate milk in one of those as a kid allergen time, but it didn`t stick with me through my adult years

    Compounded and polished my Grandfather`s new-to-him `14 Impala that had some pretty good scratching and dull looking paint. Last night I got it decon-ed and polished. Today it got some Esclate and 2 layers of Viking Coat. Car looks great and he is thrilled. Monday he turns 84, I`m lucky to have him and it was worth every bit of the sweat and effort to see how happy he was when he saw it.
    PS... It was seriously HOT and Humid the last 2 days.

    Just got done with a wash and wheels detail on a Dodge Avenger for a neighbor. The car right next to it really needs at least a wash but I have no idea who owns it.
