Detailing related? I deleted Halloween Sales e-mail from AG, ACC, Wolfgang, Polish Angel and about 5 others in hopes of preventing myself from buying more stuff I don`t need.

Except for Snow Joe stuff cuz gonna need that pretty soon.

Solution Finish to the rescue. No taping needed since i used a square tip make up brush which allowed for a very precise application.

I use a foam paint brush 1" wide and that helps keep it on plastic and off of hands as well

I have that as an application tool as well, and it was the first one I tried on a cowl but found it a bit "clumsy" due to the foam`s soft density and it is more challenging to get into intricate areas (that thin space below/above the fog light "ring" for example,no way a foam brush would have worked for me without touching the paint). After using the make up brush, I am definitely using that for detailed areas, and leave the foam brushes for wide and flat trim.

That looks great. If you have a trim protectant, apply that over solution finish. It will last a bit longer.

I do weekly/bi-weekly washes and top all trim with Megs D156, so I`m thinking that could serve as a sacrificial protective layer(?). I wanted to get a higher end protectant/coating to top it with, but I am going to wait for Chris to release his sealant and give that a shot business-wise.

Only a one step polish this weekend on Sunday morning. The rest of my weekend was booked with pumpkin filled activities.





OPC scrub + Solution Finish took care of this easily.









Amazing how big of a difference clean, black trim can make on a used car.







It wasn`t fun detailing this car on such a steep inclined driveaway, but it worked out Now his wife is jealous and her car is scheduled in 2 weeks along with his interior.
