In mid December I detailed a friends Mazda and posted the results here. We had some bad weather with rain, ice, sand on the roads, etc. for a few days following the detail. So I told her I'd give the car a quick wash and wax this week. The weather warmed up to the 60's on Tuesday so of I went...

This sounds off topic, but it isn't totally off topic. While I detailed a Lexus today I multi-tasked by baking bread! I've never made Challah before. i had wanted to do it on Friday and I completely spaced out until it was too late to start it. Here is a picture of of the dough after the...

Friday we had fantastic weather! A high around 72 and sunny. I washed my Jaguar and the wife's Quest. Both were dirty but the Quest was the worse! Anyway, Saturday I thought I would wash my Sister-in-Law's Lexus because we had some nasty weather that got the cars real dirty. When we get ice...

Just shy of a month ago I detailed my Sister-in-Law's Lexus. The post is here if interested. During that detail I used Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant and I am so glad I did! We had a cold front blow through here last week. Nothing like all the snow you Yankees have seen, but it was cold for us...

I detailed a good friend of ours (she's like family) Mazda. The weather was fantastic on Sunday. We had a high of 75 and that night the temperature plunged to the low 30's. this morning it was in the 20's. :yikes: I figured this was the last chance for a nice weather detail before the end of the...

I finally got a bottle of EX-P! :yay But now I need to know how to use it! :help: Is it like other sealants I've used that need to cure for 12+ hours before topping with another coat or a wax? I'm detailing a friend's Lexus tomorrow and may use it. Thanks.

I detailed my Sister-in-Law’s Lexus. I thought she loved me, but if she did she wouldn’t have let it get so horribly filthy! She says she got it dirty just for me. :yikes: I spent most of my time on the exterior. The interior was not bad except for some stains on the floor mats that I didn’t...

We had a beautiful day with a high in the mid 70's! I had scheduled to detail the Lexus of the guy that cuts my hair (another barter deal) but he had to reschedule. Not wanting to let such a beautiful day go without a detail I decided to clean up the pickup. The truck (2000 Nissan Frontier) sits...

I think I found the way to have one less product in my arsenal. Let me know what you think! We went camping and with 3 boys in the Quest + with the rather smoky fire we had, the interior of the van needed a good cleaning upon our return. I took out the center seats and used the shop vac. I...

Here is a 2001 Honda S2000 with almost 109,000 miles. It still drives great! A friend of mine owns a professional massage business. I told her I’d detail her car for a massage and to my delight she accepted. I didn’t know how dirty the car was! :passout: But that’s okay as I really enjoyed...

I detailed a 2000 Lexus GS300 owned by a friend of mine. The exterior was in pretty good shape. The interior was not bad at all except for the drivers seat and some stains on the carpet. The front floor mats were dirty and showing their age. This is his daily driver so it is just showing normal...

This weekend I'm going to detail a friends Lexus. It is white, I think its a pearl white so it has some flecks in the color. I don't think it has much in the way of swirls and scratchs. So here is my thought... 1. PB PwS 2. PB White Diamond Glaze 3. Sealant or wax? I'm not sure! For sealant...

DFW did not get hit as hard as earlier predicted. It rained a lot on Saturday but today it is beautiful out. Highs in the 80's with a nice cool breeze. :rockon I recently bought a refill of Chem Guys Bare Bones so I thought I would try their soap and QD as well. I got Extreme Bodywash &...

I had not used my DP Premium Surface Shield in a while. A few weeks ago I did a detail on the wife's Quest using Chem Dudes Citrus Wash to strip the surface. I followed up with DP Premium Surface Shield. I let it bond overnight and the next day the Quest had such a nice slick feeling to it. One...

Any of you suffer from Sleep Apnea? Last week I went for a sleep test because I'm always so darn tired. My Doctor called and she said "you have SEVERE sleep apnea. I'm not real happy about this, but at least I know why I'm tired. She said "you don't sleep much". Saturday night i go back to the...

Last Sunday the Jaguar Car Club I’m in had a club show at a local pub. It was not a Jaguar Owners official sanctioned show, just a club get-together. My car was not in pristine shape. I had spent darn near all day Saturday cleaning the wife’s Nisan Quest. We had driven it to Houston and...

It's 90 degrees out and I'm sweating like a pig! Do pigs really sweat? Anyway, we took a vacation last week. Drove the 2000 Nissan Quest from Dallas to Houston to Galveston and back. The mini-van was very dirty with bugs, dirt, and road gunk. I decided to try the Chem Dudes Citrus Wash & Gloss...

A friend of ours is the second owner of this 1980 MGB with only 39.550 miles. It lives in his garage and he rarely drives it. In fact, until recently it didn’t run! I told him I wanted to detail it for him as a fun project. He thought I was nuts and said you don’t need to wash it, its fine the...

A friend of ours has a 1980 MGB. It hasn't run in a while and he recently got it fixed and inspected. He told me I could take it for the weekend. I told him I'd detail it. He does not expect me to detail it but of course I want to! The problem is that it is a mess! He thinks its clean and ready...

I was at Big lots today and saw a 16oz bottle of Dupont Teflon Car Soap for $1.50. I figured at that price it was worth a try. Worse case I'll use it on the wheels & tires!
