Some Blackfire BlackIce

[Bunky]

I detailed the Dakota over the last 2 days...

Wash

• Washed using Poorboy's Super Slick and Suds and Poorboy's Microfiber Chenille Mitt, foamed then 2 bucket wash
• Cleaned emblems, fuel fillter door, jamb area with P21s Total Auto Wash

Tires and Wheels

• Cleaned tires and wheels with Poorboy's APC 1:7.5 but re-cleaned them with Optimum Power Clean (was not satisfied with results)
  
• Protected wheels with Mothers Spray Wax
• Dressed front plastic wheel wells with Solution Finish
• Dressed back wells with Chem Guys Bare Bones - stuff much have high VOC since it seems evaporate in the bottle
• Dressed tires with Mothers Reflections Tire Care

Trim and Glass

• Cleaned most of trim with Mothers Trim Cleaner (a review in the works)
• Protected trim with Ultima Trim and Tire Guard
• Cleaned and protected real chrome with Mothers Chrome Polish
• Cleaned and protected fake chrome (grille) with Mothers Cleaner Wax
• Cleaned glass with Sprayway Glass Cleaner

Paint

• Cleaned paint with mostly Four Star Pre-Wax Cleaner - on a Rupes 15 at speed 3 it can dry out fast so keep it slower than a regular DA
• Protected with Blackfire BlackIce applied by hand...removed easily at 10 min mark

Interior

• Wipe down Auto Finesse Interior Detailer

Remember that lens hood!

The headlights look new because they are...

Wow that looks great. Which dilution did you use on OPC for tires?

 

[Trouble]

Looking good Al. Why the new headlites?

I just said out loud........"Man, that truck is blinging!" That looks like a productive "day off" to me. Looking good.

Undiluted. PB's did not do much. I could have tried PB straight but decided to just get it done. These rubber on these tires is strange and difficult to get perfectly clean and they do not take dressings very well either...nothing wants to stick.

The factory ones were hazy and after numerous polishes I just gave up on them. I bought OEM types not factory since Mopar was $200 ea. I spent about $30 each. I decided to risk $60 and spend the $400 if I really did not like them.
