    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    i did the wheels in hydro2 lite but they are kind of marred so I`m thinking about covering them with PB Wheel sealant or just using chrome polish/pro polish on the polished faces

    still undecided on what to put on the shaker scoop and spoiler..definitely doing Sonus Trim and Motor Kote on the valence, fr chin and rear diffuser (that will go on after work today)


    can I top this sucker with Synergy after a 16 hour cure?

    D156? simple,quick and it`ll leave a nice finish behind with some protection.


    Detail wise today, i got my Detailer`s Helper Belt in the mail and looking forward to testing its efficiency out on my buddy`s ride. Dropped off tonight, it`ll be my Saturday project. Going to do an aggressive foam gun wash then hit it with HD Polish then top with FK1000P .




    He washes it once every couple of weeks, so it`s not too terrible, he said he`s got some OTC wax on it, so it`ll be a lot easier to clean and prep.

    Ironic...

    Thats what I went with on the spoiler and rear plastic on lower bumper since its much smoother than on my 2009 challenger. The black by the tails got essence + coating in the end but still are not looking mint - those scratches were too deep for me to experiment with.

    Plan to use that on the shaker box too. I see the onwer was using something armor all shine like on the plastics, it was annoying to get off, probably from one of those coin machines, reminds me of the soaked sponges you can buy and how they over saturate the textured surface.

    Anyways, I am finding I pretty much only use d156 in this manner nowadays since I have Prima Hydro for wax as you dry duties.

    I spent a long time polishing out the black plastics on the front end, the headlights and even the black painted headlight surrounds, and man it made a huge difference (which I`m sure only I will ever really notice-but will share here)

    Coated them as well. I really grew a new appreciation for my nano tonight. this is the kind of stuff I had in mind when I bought it.









    still have to be very careful but essence really helped the front gloss black plastics

    Yes, very

    I applied this quite liberally and only ended up with a few high spots that I noticed in the full sun and they wiped right off. This color makes it really hard to find the high spots too.

    I`d say I used more than double the recommended sprays per panel.

    This was the most enjoyable coating job I have done thus far. This Plum Crazy Purple really responded well to (Essence +) PBL.

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    I was wrong about that darn Charger, it wasn`t filthy, but either he or a friend of his decided to plasti dip wheels and grille while on the car, so i spent more time claying that thing than washing it. He said he had no clue about that.

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    Tried my new brushes and detailer helper toolbelt, both are great additions to the job.

    Did my buddy`s Charger today, HD Polish + Flex3401 + LC Orange CCS and Flat Pads + FK1000P .car had lots of RIDS but this combo managed to get rid of all swirls and a decent amount of RIDS for just a Polish. Unfortunately this car suffered through one of our recent Hail Storms this year , so i did my best to take shots that "concealed" that damage as much as possible as to not distract from the work performed.
