What did you do detailing wise today?

[The Guz]

Greased all the grease fittings for thesuspension of the Grand Prix. Rinseless washed it as well. Gave the interior one of these to finish it off for the day.



Applied the xpel headlight kit to my dad`s 2015 Impala after I rinseless washed it. Also coated the film with opti-lens.

hey Guz...that headlight coating...you like it?

I`ve been considering it. How many pairs of headlights would you edtimate it would coat, assuming they were same size as in the pic.

Or is it single use?

I know there is a whole new world out there, but I am still in school and spending more money (than I have been) isn`t so much of an option until summer, especially since I am saving up for my next polisher (and misc related items).

I am currently trying to avoid micro`s because I would have to buy an air compressor to clean them, I do see their value, but I really only maintain two vehicles, no financial justification to spend a boat load on pads when I have 22- 5.5" pads and 20- 3" pads, and the vehicles only get a polish once or twice a year, in between they get glazed and sealed.

My polishes/compounds:
*PB Pro Polish
*WG Paintwork Polish Enhancer
*Megs: UP, UC, 101, 205, #3, #9
*Carpro Essence

My CCS Pads (5.5"):
*Orange x 4
*White x 4
*Green x 5
*Black x 4
*Blue x 5

That is why I suggested the Rupes LHR 21ES rather than the Rupes BigFoot LHR21 MarkII .
21 Long throw, less money than a MKII and it works great with a 5" BP & KB washer mod.
This combo enables you to utilize your existing pad collection & enable future pad variety.

Microfiber pads can easily be cleaned with a "bug sponge" on the fly.
I`ve been using the "Bug Sponge" mf method for years. It works fine.
No air compressor needed. This is a good mf mobile cleaning method.
I`d suggest picking up a couple of 5" Megs mf discs and a bug sponge.

I`ve found 5" mf, M101, and a couple small drops of UC = Swirl Killer!
You`ll also find that CP Essence & a 5" Megs mf pad finishes AWESOME!

I have not had any issues using it. These headlights were coated almost 8 months ago without any restoration. Used opti-lens for protection. I applied the film right over the coated lights without stripping it off.

You can get quite a few lights with this amount. You can probably get about 5-6 cars with headlights about this size.

Interesting, I will definitely have to keep this new knowledge on my radar. Thanks Merlin!

Been making a list of equipment and supplies to be more efficient as well as a price list for easier quoting and consistency
