    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    Still not sure if beginning detailing was a blessing or a curse. A little OCD again. Everytime I stepped on the tee box all I could focus on were the swirls and etchings haha. I really need to get a guzzler just for my clubs to carry on my bag.

    After driving on a dirt road last night my 1999 Land Rover Discovery 2 needs to be washed, I am also going to clean the underside as well. After that I`m going to take off the muffler so she can breathe a little better.

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    Hey Jesse, after living off dirt roads for the past four years, I am REALLY ready for a change!

    This is the ONLY place where I can wash my car without having to stand in mud…. and as you can see, it still happens

    Hopefully if everything goes right, the misses and I will be selling this place and re-locating to Washington state and will most definitely have a road, and a cement driveway, and a friggin garage.

    ahhhh, the little things. lol

    There are some guys that have set up a quick car wash. They just put down a giant blue tarp and wash the vehicle on the tarp.

    High of 43° very windy gusts to 35mph.
    Couldn`t resist trying the D114 I recently received. I experienced all the praiseworthy attributes I`ve read about. Many people noted how it doesn`t stain wash media. I was surprised to see my already stained grout sponge end up unstained by the time I finished. I used Duragloss 521 as a drying aid and couldn`t be happier with the results.

    Right in the middle of polishing my hood my GG6 broke, so today I hand polished then finally "gave up" and used Black Hole.

    DO NOT EVER take a paved driveway or garage for granted. Our current rental has a big cement driveway ( you could park up to 4 cars) and decent garage. PERFECT for my detailing. But we are probably out of here in the spring. After looking at several other rentals (houses) when did a decent driveway and garage become a luxury? Either no or puny driveway or a patch of crap. UNREAL. Spolied i guess.

    Good to see I`m not the only one who details non car items. Here`s an air compressor I recently replaced, figured I`d clean it up and give it away to someone. Nothing crazy with it but I just extensively cleaned it, polished with Nevr-Dull and the trim got Gtechniq C4.

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    Waiting for the sun to come up so I can wash & detail my Rav.

    Going to be using all the new products I just recently bought including the 1/2 gallon foam gun.

    Going to be using CG`s Citrus & Gloss in it and was wondering if I should add 3 oz and fill the rest up with water. (???)

    Also going to be trying out the 1z interior kit and will be sure to get all the rubber around the doors etc…

    I`m actually excited to wash the car this morning!

    If you have the 1/2 gallon foam gun, fill it with water, add 3-4 oz of soap, then shake it up.
