Anyone planning on any major changes to their detailing routine as it gets warmer? I plan to use my pressure washer more often. Initially it had been somewhat inconvenient (more stuff to get out and put up) but after using quick disconnects, learning how to wind the hose back up quickly, and...

This was posted on George Takei's facebook page. It seems to have a detailing slant.

I had ordered some Auto Finesse Avalanche during the holiday sales and finally with 56 F weather and no rain, I got a chance to use it. Note: In above image, Lightroom cheat - I was washing in the shade and ended up burning in the background crudely to get a more even looking image. This...

I finally had the chance to use Chemical Guys Honeydew soap. This was done with a Kranzle (1400 psi) pressure washer and a Cam Spray foam cannon at about 2 ounces soap to 12 ounces warm water. I typically use near 1:10. This soap is cheap so for just 2 ounces a lot of foam. This is is closest...

This year I achieved some nice results. This is fortunate since I have had less time to detail and they make maintenance easier. On my MKZ, I have been using Menzerna Power Lock. I do not think it is the best looking sealant (tend to prefer sealants like Wolfgang sealant on this metallic) but...

A find in the woods....

What is the suitable way to maintain alloy matte black wheels? Cleaners, protection, etc?

We ordered this last month and was finally delivered today. The tentative name is Ally. We had it in the woods to clear some trees and brush from an old logging road plus crossed a small stream. Alas, my 10 year old chain saw died..looks like the fuel line had rotted so a usually any purchase...

I had picked up a free sample of a new version of SONUS Final Fiinish. I did a test panel a while back and did not really like it since it dry out very quickly. It did not have the long work time that Menzerna always has. I switched to PO85RD with the Flex since this always works. I had used...

I was shopping at Home Depot near dusk and was coming out I see this blacker than black truck parked close by and think wow. Then, I realized it was MY truck. I usually never park close to any entrance for obvious reasons but Black Ice really does make a visual impact. I would call it like a...

1Z Einszett Anti-Frost Washer Fluid Quick Review I had picked up a bottle of this product from a local guy selling out his stock since he was giving a good price for it. I have seen it but it sells for $8.99 for 1 litre (about 34 ounces) so definitely a bit more than the less expensive...

For trade, I will never use it. Collapses to bundle Unfolding Unfolded This is definitely a soft sided which means you have to have stuff in it or it will the sides will just collapse. It has a mesh pocket in one side and a flap on other.

Has anyone used Auto Finesse Tough Prep Pre Sealant Paint Cleanser? It claims to be a pre-wax cleaner for a sealant but without any filling properties?

Some Black Ice beading pics... Of course, overcast and trees reflecting on the paint does not help the images but this is what I could get.

I saw this on facebook and wondered if there were any detailing applications. The lip could be used to hang sprayer bottles and the inside could be used for squeeze bottles..It could be bolted to a side of a cart? Just thinking out loud since I am in my detailing box (reference to how men think).
