DoDo Juice Born to Be Mild - paint, using the better perfect wash method
A couple mf chenille wash mitts (new ones sold by PBMG)
Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner
Mothers Back to Black Tire Renew - tire rubber
Optimum Power Clean - wells, barrels
Chem Guys Speed Wipe - jambs
The products I used for the first time were:
Sonax Wheel Cleaner - no color show, I must keep the wheels clean
Mothers Back to Back Tire Renew - after the wash, I noticed OPC really did not remove all the tire brown so I tried the Mothers and really did a nice job. The application method is just spray on and wipe off so need to deal with the hose. An excellent candidate for a rinseless wash tire cleaner. I definitely plan to do a review of this soon.
More tomorrow....apply an LSP (maybe Prima), dress the tires, clean the glass.
Poorboys Spray and Wipe - surface prep (water spots) Poorboys Bug Squash 3:1 -plastic cowling Do Do Juice Purple Haze (not pro) - paint Chem Guys Inner Clean - interior Blackfire Protectant - dash Mothers VLR - back seats, steering wheel Mothers Tech Leather cleaner/conditioner - front seats Mothers Cleaner Wax - on exterior plastic chrome Poorboys Bold n Bright Gel - wells Optimum Opti-Bond Gel - tires Ultima Waterless Wash - wheels Sprayway Glass cleaner - exterior Meguiars Glass Cleaner - interior
New products this time.
DoDo Juice Purple Haze (once I got it out of the small sampler container) went on very easy, let it haze, then removed. Applied with a Rupes 15 with a LC ultrasoft white pad (now it is purple, did not rinse clean). I really liked the one handed operation of the Rupes on the roof thanks to the narrow body.
This was applied on top of an old WGDPS application. It was showing its time at 10 weeks or so.
Oh what a day. It was still a bit cooler than normal this year but had a chance to start the spring detailing of my daily driver after the motivating drive to Detail Fest. I came back itching to clean it up.
Today, I did the prep for the paint cleaning and protection tomorrow.
Products used: CG Citrus Wash and Gloss: - wheels/wells Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner: - not much of a visual show..chrome stays clean Optimum Power Clean: tires P21s Total Autowash: cowling, bug removal bug. I really like the clingy behavior Adams Car Wash mixed with Optimum Power Clean - strip/clean the paint. It did the trick in a foam cannon. Lots of sticky suds Autogeek microfiber chenille wash mitt - has one of the softest interiors of as any wash mitt Adam`s Car Wash - worked well with the wash mitt CG Speed Wipe - Jams
Using my personally designed wash method, cleaning the wheel area and the jambs are really the time eaters compared to the paint.
Tomorrow...subject to change:
WG Paint Enhancer or Poorboys Pro Polish
Menzerna Powerlock
Blackfire Midnight Sun - will follow on Monday
Polish and seal glass with Pinnacle Glass Sealant
Dry washed the mini van with some stuff from Ardex I mixed up. Did the glass and Opti sealed the hood and fenders. Want to see what it is like. Never used it before
