What did you do detailing wise today?

[GearHead_1]

Unpacked an order....

The dryer and the PB`s stuff are some of my favorites. Good choices. I did use a screw on the dryer blower tube but it works quite well for the door jambs, underhood etc. I`m very glad I picked one up.

Did my first rinse less wash with Uber. Took longer than I tough it would, did wifes Highlander. Pre sprayed with Ultima water less wash then uber rinseless from bucket. Car was filthy came out great. Used Wolfgang cockpit trim sealant came out great and man does it leave a slippery surface.

Nice
Interested in your thoughts on that dryer once you use it.

I did use it yesterday.

It is not as powerful as my master blaster and as someone else said the drying ability is probably slightly better than the MB with just 1 motor on. It did not feel heavy but I do plan to put a strap on it. Yes, the nozzle did pop off until I pushed it on over the rib to stop it. There is some clamp in the box and that may be intended to hold it on. I did not read the instructions..just put it together and used it. I will see what it is for later.

The noise level was not that bad - less high pitched than the Master Blaster.

It seems to be fairly well made except all the labels look poorly attached (creases, bubbles, etc). There was no extra cushioning (like card board separators) in the the box could see how some could be damaged in shipment (mine was ok).

The cord is reasonably long and noticed it was 17 AWG...an odd size - suspect it was to save money and weight.

I`ve been polishing other peoples vehicles as of late and decided to give my daily some TLC over the weekend.

I used the aggressive wash method that Mike Phillips discusses in his article. I did ironx, foam bath with gold class, clay polish and seal. Playing around with some polycharger that I have been looking to use.

Other than the clear coat failure on the rear bumper it looks good for a car that will be 17 years old in July.

It does look very nice for a car of it`s generation, any car for that matter. I don`t use Meguiars products as often as I once did though my cabinets are still full of them. That said, their products are rock solid. I`ve always felt that if I get lost in the sea of products available today, I can always go back to Megs and find my zero. I find comfort in knowing that. At the end of the day you know they have something (if not several things) for just about any detailing need and it will work well.

Thanks. Well said and couldn`t agree more in regards to Meguiar`s. I just needed something simple and quick and this was the ticket.

Yesterday when washing my car my beighor asked me to wash his mom`s car. I decided to hook the car up and use this as a chance to play with some of my new products. She got more than she paid for but I look at that car every day and seeing it this morning and this evening made my extra effort worth it.

Did the wheels/ tires with spray n rinse and various brushes plus megs apc on tires.

Washed with a heavy pour of citrus red

Used the cobra clay mitt after using my wash mitt with some soapy water(1st time ive clayed like that-sure was easy).

Rinsed and used hydro2 lite. Really enjoy watching this shock and start working. Gotta love science!

I took a pretty cool 50/50 video if the hydro vs nothing but my phone and tapatalk no longer agree on posting videos (suggestions?) It loads to 100% then says error.



Headlights are horrid. Going to try my aio headlight polish ince it comes in this week.






Took 2 hours total (no interior but i did wipe down the door jams) I spent at least 30 of that doing the wheels/tires.

It gave me a good idea of what I can price a job like that at (as thats about all people around my area seem to want anyways), and she got a good deal. Perhaps I can test durability of the hydro2 lite in a month or so. I really like using this product and will buy the regular concentrate once I kill these bottles. Whole car took about 1/2 a litre bottle btw.

tried something new today. tire dressing in a preval sprayer. got the idea from one of Roberts post and optimum spray gun.

used hyper dressing 4:1 to test. it was the only dressing I had on hand that would dilute to spray. everything else was gel form. going to get some PERL next and see if it`ll spray

cool. those sprayers were a nice recommendation. I purchased two and plan to try them out in the next few days.

how did you like using it for the tires?

Can you try the opti bond as well on another tire?

nice fine mist. i was using a pump sprayer before with hyper dressing but it kept throwing a stream combined with a mist and made it messy.

i have yet to find a tire dressing/application process thats quick/no mess/long lasting. this may be a solution with some PERL.

will have to pick some of that up too. my tire dressing collection will be just as bad as my paint LSP collection lol

Neat! I`ve never seen one of those before. Hmmm... so many ideas are popping into my head now.
