What did you do detailing wise today?

Just ordered a 50ft Flexzilla hose from Amazon for $29. It maybe a deal of the day considering the 25ft version is $32. Been looking forward to picking a Flexzilla hose up for a while.

And headlights. Arghhhhhhhhhh. Clouded headlights or inadequate headlights bother the crap out of me. First, can you even see the road at night? Second (not consumers fault), the regulatory bodies motor transit, here in the states, need to literally open their eyes at night and see that the majority of NEW vehicles sold in the U.S. have inadequate headlights for speeds at which we travel.

Sorry, rant over.

Got a rental, since one of our vehicles is in for collision repair.
The rental car had a horrendously dirty windscreen. Cleaned right up with 1Z Windscreen Clear.

Oh, and in a flurry to swap vehicles - taking car seats (for the kids) out, I accidentally dropped a seat base on my wife`s car. Dented passenger side rear metal window trim, put a small dent in the door, and marked and marred up the panel.
So, out came the polisher. A compound with 3D 502 AAT, final polish with Essence, and Gloss Goat as the LSP.
Searching for replacement window trim now. And to find a PDR specialist...

Marked my new pads:

I wish pad manufacturers printed this info for us...

Washed the winter off my Malibu.
Polished the glass w/Pinnacle GlassWork water spot remover, then sealed w/P. Glasscoat.

Not only is this a good idea for our enjoyment - it`s also a great way for potential customers to review your work/ book you for a job. That is as long as your business name match your profile name... if it doesn`t you may want to PM Paul and get that updated to match.

Some emergency scratch removal on a clients car. He took a razor blade to it yesterday trying to remove tree sap off the hood as the car was going to be sold today lol. Told him next time he should call me instead I could save him some money. Prepped and then compounded with FCC and Boss MF to remove as many scratches as possible. Then followed up with 2000 grit by hand, ibrid in rotary to remove sanding marks . Finished off the hood with carpro essence on a gloss pad. Took about 4 hours start to finish and had to keep moving the car around to find shade. Thats why I prefer working out of my garage hehe.
