    Was Blackfire Sunday. Cleaned up the interior with Blackfire Interior Cleaner. Dressed the plastics and rubber with Blackfire Interior Protectant. Blackfire Leather Conditioner was used on all leather.

    Maintenance wash on my brothers car that is coated. It was washed with some CarPro Reset. It was dried with the DP Car Dryer. Followed that up with some Pinnacle Black Label Coating Booster to bring back some shine and slickness. Tires received 2 coats of Blackfire Total Eclipse Tire Gel

    What did you do detailing wise today?

    Manipulated the sun. ..lol








    And for fun
    (sun directly in eyes-fail!)

    Maybe I`m a bit too excited to revive a club members car.

    I`m on a `detailing` high...

    Decided it was time to correct the hood on my John Deere - here a 50/50 after a pass with just HD Speed + a white LC pad + 3401 on speed 5:



    It`s good, but I think compounding it first will make it even better

    I finally had a chance to clean up my Dakota after some time.

    I used Blackfire Shampoo on the paint and wheels, CG Speed Wipe on the jambs (used that up), and Mothers Back to Black Tire Renew on the tires. I applied a coat of Blackfire Carnuaba Spray Wax to hold me over for a few weeks of pollen before a complete clean up.

    IIRC you won the CSL EXO kit? --- that would make the green look sweet! and the temperature variance on the CSL might not be a bad idea for it either

    Yes sir, I was the lucky CSL EXO kit winner. Wasn`t think about the temp variance but you have a point. I was only planning on topping it with HD Poxy but maybe a coating would be a little more fun

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    used nanoskin rain for the first time last night (sample trade) on that orange charger

    used in garage with cobra ww glass towel and worked like a charm- no streaks and super easy application

    will do a 50/50 on my w/s and write a review since I don`t have it coated (optimum glass cleaner + protectant applied weekly over the last two years has it beading quite well anyways) but I need to give it a good polish anyways

    edit: and EX 1st time too..smells like bananas and reminds me of summer

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    Yesterday I spent about two hours cleaning our 2012 Honda Odyssey`s tires as preparation for applying Tuf Shine tire coating. I used our 3000psi, 2.7gpm washer with the green (cleaning) tip to prerinse and rinse, Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner at 1:1 for cleaning, the Mothers tire brush for initial scrubbing, and the Griot`s 6" DA mated to the aqua Cyclo interior brush for thorough scrubbing.

    So the tires got prerinsed, an initial scrubbing with the tire brush, rinsed, and two passes with the Griot`s polisher and interior brush with a thorough rinse after each pass.

    `Twas a lot of bending so I was too tired to coat the tires after all this prep.

    I`ll coat the tires three times today, or maybe twice today and once in the morning.

    The tires were last coated in May of last year and didn`t need recoating until I tried to use the last few ounces of some prediluted Tuf Shine cleaner I had in a bottle. The cleaner took about 40% of the coating away on one pass, leaving me with no choice but to go ahead and give the tires another coating.

    The tires were first treated to Tuf Shine in May or June of 2014. They were overly shiny for a couple of weeks, shiny for another two or three weeks, and settled into a very nice black sheen for about ten months. I recoated them in May 2015 because of a few scuffs.

    They were cleaned approximately twice each month with Meguiar`s D101 APC at 1:4 and the Mother`s tire brush. This type of cleaning is overkill for Tuf Shine-coated tires, but that`s what I did.

    Aside from the pollen the weather was nice. It was about 73°F outside.

    I did a quick rinseless wash with WG Uber last night. Then a wipedown with V07. My car is already covered in pollen.
