Holiday Detailing Check in!

[YoSteve]

Memorial day is here and many people have days off. Who is going to be detailing and what are you doing.



Me, I`m probably going to wash all the cars and perhaps vacuum.



I am and soooo happy there`s no work tomorrow! :) Have a good holiday.

Was half done with my sisters Surburban when she "had" to take it to the pool. Was able to PC with cleaner and a coat of Polymer on her before she took off, but what a bad feeling only doing half the SUV.

On a plus note, my brother in-law helped, got to show him a few things, and he listened too...

The only thing he did wrong it, he used one of the MF`s we used cleaning the car to wipe the windows......foggy...

Washed and cleaned up the old beater today. Went to work all set to(or so I thought) to clean and apply some Zaino, but I forgot half the stuff I needed:o :)

[Greek Guy]

Just applied another layer of Souveran and completely detail the interior using EF Spot Remover and 303. Now it`s getting cloudy out.

[BradE]

Also changed the oil in the Lincoln today as well, in addition to the detail. Switched over to Mobil 1 today. :xyxthumbs
