What did you do detailing wise today?

[512detail]

Testing day, looking for longthrow products.
So I founds some swirls on my driver side doors



Drivers door got some 8mm favorites, to see if they handle
the Boss 15 with B&S cut/finish MF pads



Griot`s 3" MF was used on all edges.



Pass. door got it`s own products






Had to try the Dodo on top of BF sealant





Great products all, the standouts were
Rupes White pad/Diamond
I only had 1 pad so I had to use a regular white with Scholls,
which was fantastic, but Rupes was just Stupendous !
Griot`s 3" MF
Handled the heat and cut smoothly, didn`t gum up quickly,
sized perfectly.

I did find that I have a hole in my machine set. I need a longthrow that I could do large vertical areas, light enough
to use one handed if needed.
Maybe the Duetto would be perfect ??

Yes. But I turn down all. `Till I feel I know what I`m actually doing. Still feel like a nubie.
It`s my vehicles and family`s for now.
Which I`m happy with because It`s cool as h#%ll to bring
my paint alive before my eyes

Well I`m doing an Acura TL today but sorry no before pics I`ll try to get some paint pics of what`s not done yet only cause I`m racing against time cause I wasn`t able to wash and clay it yesterday. I had to clay it twice before buffing but one stepping it with bf src compound is working amazingly well

I didn`t know this about you. You are one serious detail enthusiast given the pictures I`ve seen of your products and equipment. I took it for granted that you were at least doing this on the side for a bit of $$$. Hats off to you.

Heavy foam bath and wash with Mc Kees POWER WASH. Interior. Checked tire pressure. That XTERRA was beaten badly the last few weeks plus the storm this week. I did find it under all that salt and crud!! Gotta love winter.

Hit 55 today. Felt good to get outside!

Nice 60* day for February. Jetta cleanup day. Hopefully a GTI will be in its place next weekend.

Next project got rid of the Mustang and got something a little more practical for when the g/f and I move in next month. The middle point is 47 miles from my work. Plus this will make it easier to do the detailing jobs I get when I have to lug all my stuff around.

Going to do a two step polish and then coat with CSL.

Any chance it`s a stick?

No it`s the CVT. Believe it or not it actually gets better mpg`s than the stick.

More cleaning in the garage to make room for my Dakota and the bay I will use for detailing and maintenance (oil changes, etc). Added some shelves and now trying to store non-detailing stuff (a two wheel cart used with riding lawn mower and wheel barrow). The truck takes up a lot more room.

I agree with you. I`ve seen her pictures, and thought, "what a Pro".

Finally got my other pictures to load. Quick coat of Liquid Natty`s Blue.







Didn`t dress anything, just wanted clean. The tires had to be scrubbed a couple times to rid of the leftover dressings of times past, I think I like the clean tire look better than dressed up.

Who cares about MPG`s?! I care about the fun factor!!! Hahaha

Mustang was an auto too. The auto was a faster car and the MT-82 manual was junk. I`ll get another fun car in a couple years that will probably be manual. And MPGs matter when you drive 100 miles round trip to the office.
