Definately the coldest details of the year. The Silverado was luckily done inside as it was raining and 40* that day. However, with the 4Runner and Integra, the temperature was around 30*. It was at the point where the water froze to the side in the shade :(.


For the Silverado, I was giving it a good once over before winter hit. I applied Duragloss #111 to it a little over 5 months ago and it was still beading well with some slickness remaining. The owner washes it every 10-14 days with Griot's Wash and the occasional Speed Shine and garages it nightly. Today I:

-TOL Bubble Bath Wash
-Polished entire nose, chrome, lighting, grained plastic and lower panels with AIO by hand
-Applied 4* UPP by hand to paint, chrome, grained plastic, glass, lighting
-FK1 #425 to touch up

-CD-2 Engine Detailer in wells
-Wolfgang Tire Gel on tires
-PB TR on tonneau cover

For the 4Runner, the Turbo Wax Sealant was still holding up after 4+ months with bi-weekly Griot's washes. It beaded very well, was reasonably slick, and looked great. The vehicle is garaged nightly. This time, the owner (same) wanted the same services, so I:

-TOL Bubble Bath Wash
-OCW by hand
-FK1 #425 to touch up

-Meguiar's Hyper Dressing for wells/tires/undercarriage

Last up, the Violet Teg. I am quite mad right now as my camera died as I was taking pictures and none of the taken were saved :(. The owner, thankfully, was able to take some pics and send them to me. I wish I hate an upclose flake shot, as the car came out rather nice with this new combo. Anyways, my finals were:

-QEW with warm water
-Optimum Clay with S+W lube
-OCP via rotary and LC Cutting Pad @ 1200 rpm
-Menzerna PO 85RD via rotary and LC Finishing Pad @ 1500 rpm
-Zaino Z6
-Zaino Z2 Pro on paint, wheels, windows
-Zaino Z8

-Wolfgang Tire Gel on tires
-CD-2 Engine Detailer in wells/front grille
-PB TR on plastic/rubber trim

Amazing details, yet again.....


I really like the last two shots of the Teg -very impressive.

Products seem to take on new characteristics in the cold, and it looks like you have that part down pat too.
 
Blake: Nope, client's boss's. He houses some serious machinery in there.

Miami: I try to keep busy even though I'm a fulltime college student, still.

John: I agree. For the cold weather, Zaino takes the cake. Not 1 problem with Z2 Pro or Z8 with streaking on that dark car. I was rather impressed.
 
Nice work Sean. I loove that Teg...Looks like candy....

Ive been hooked on the Z2Pro/Z6/Z8 lately as well. I did an Odessey yesterday and my fingers were numb too. Why couldnt it be 60 this weekend instead of this coming Tues?

Oh, yeah.. Did you have a great birthday??
 
Craig: It was very nice, thank you :).

joyride: I pay all of my bills, gas, food, etc. My parents pay for my tuition/rent.

carnut: Fully clean with TOL's Tire Cleaner, then rinse and air dry. Apply a light coat to the wells, let sit for 10 mins and touch up if necessary.
 
I when I saw the last pic of the Integra, I thought there were two big dents in the side, but then I realized it was the reflection of the red truck. Great job on those details, especially considering the cold weather.

I did that too.

Where can one by CD2? I've heard a lot of people saying they like it for wheel wells and the engine bay. So, I was thinking of giving it a try.
