Re: What did you do detailing wise today?
Nothing today but last week detailing kicked my butt. At the Indianapolis Mecum Auction with a referral from Rasky , I corrected the paint on a 66 Olds F-85 with the 442 as a package and not the base model. It was a heater & radio delete . No carpet and vinyl interior. 3 two`s instead of a 4bbl. Basically a factory race car. Another customer at the auction asked me to poish his hood and trunk on a 70 Chevelle LS-6 454 4-speed. The next day I returned and did a 57 T-bird and a 66 Chevelle 396 SS and started on a 66 Chev II SS. Returned on Friday and finished the Chevy II and did a 67 GTO ( hood and trunk sanding mark removal ). To finish the day out was a 66 Corvette. Saturday was Cars & Coffee , a stop in at the auction. Chevelle LS-^ went for $176,000.00. Then on to a cruise that night with the Indy Firebird Club to our local root beer stand. Sunday was a trip from Indy to Woodstock Il for a detailer get-together picking up rzatch along the way. 659 miles round trip. This week is a do nothing recovery week for this senior citizen. lol.

So far today, I folded some recently washed microfiber and purchased some nice terry cloth towels at Walmart. The ones at Autozone were thin.
One of my purple Autogeeek microfiber is still strangely shriveled. I do not recall what I had used on it before I washed it but came out of the wash still rough feeling. I will try soaking it.
I have another gallon of Blackfire Microfiber Cleaner coming today -- assuming Fed Ex delivers it.

Re: What did you do detailing wise today?
I`ve got a charity car show coming up on Sunday, so I spent all week doing the spring prep on my garage queen El Camino.
Sunday night: (after washing the DD) Wash & clay
Monday night: First pass of hand-rubbed Meguiar`s #7, left to soak.
Tuesday night: wipe and repeat above
Wednesday night: Polish with Meg`s M80 (a little bit of haze remaining)
Thursday night: Finish M80, final polish with Poorboys BH
Friday night : 1st coat of Wolfgang DGPS, detail engine compartment, tires and wheels
Sat night: 2nd coat of WDGPS, vacuum, wipe interior down with Opti-Clean, do glass and final inspection.
Oh, by the way, I also put in 58 hours at my day job this week.
I`ll probably fall asleep at the show in broad daylight.

Unboxed an order from PBMG, a gallon of Blackfire Microfiber wash...ordered through amazon since I just needed one item. Bring on flat rate shipping options.
Re: What did you do detailing wise today?
4 hours on Murano wheels Sunday morning. Front wheels got CQuartz UK and rears got Collinite 845. Rears I did different just to test the durability then will be coated later.
Also 14 hours on the Murano yesterday. Washed, polished, erased and coated with CQuartz UK. All prep work, IronX and clay, was done last week but also re did the hood yesterday since that gets hit the most. Didn`t finish until about 9:30pm so hit the car with Reload this morning.
Re: What did you do detailing wise today?
Did my truck after too many weeks of it being dirty. Did a regular wash on the wheels, then did a rinseless wash on the body. And of course it rained a few hours later!!!

That is a classic big car ...lots of sheet metal. Looks very nice. I had been watching reruns of Hawaii 5-0 (the original version) and talk about a 70`s Ford showcase: LTD, Elite,etc.
