8675309'SS Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Don’t know if my perception is skewed since this is the first day with out rain or clouds in about 2 weeks. But my little beater is looking good today after a wash and ceramic boost 1.0. (I used ceramic paste wax about a month ago.) falcaineer and mc2hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@Dmax_HD Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Washed the YZ450F today! Getting it ready to sell, time for someone else to enjoy her! It’s a 2006 50th Anniversary Addition with less than 25 hours on her. Used the Standard Foam Gun with CS (she wasn’t real dirty). Also used EWC, EAP, Sidekick and DS. I always spray WD-40 on the motor, frame, etc at the end as well. Keeps it all looking great and protected. My son loves using the Sidekick to dry everything. It works great on motorcycles! 45826F37-F731-4B0C-981B-122D7C04C001.MOV ObsessedDetailer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2hill Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I detailed a '99 Acura RL this weekend. The client originally wanted a wash & seal, with headlight correction, but ended up requesting a correction too. I tried to discourage him from that, as he does not have a garage, and I am not sure he will maintain the finish to 'our' standards, but he wanted it anyway. For the most part the car was in very good condition, but the before&after of the gas door is below. I was too busy trying to beat the sun to get more pictures, but the 50/50 views of the 1/2 corrected trunk were stunning. However I was about an hour+ into the correction when I looked at the trunk again (I was working outside, so got a different angle from the sun) and did not like how the corrected part looked. I tried a more aggressive foam pad, but ended up having to use a MF pad and Correcting Polish. I stared redoing from the belt-line up and was able to work the CP down and avoid a finishing step, but unfortunately the sun won, and I have to go back later this week to sand the headlights, dress the trim & tires, and hit a few spots on the interior again. falcaineer, Captain Slow, RayS and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zw470 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Winter-prep on the 4Runner. Iron Remover > Visco Clay > Glass Sealant > Ceramic Boost Didn't bother doing anything with the tires, whatever junk the dealer put on it is going to take an obscene amount of T&RC and elbow-grease falcaineer, RayS and chas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiten Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Decided to give the wife's blacked out Chrysler Pacifica a proper bath today. Used a little BG, then H2O GG, and Adam's glass cleaner. Did the interior with LC. Black cars are a pain to keep clean, especially in the desert but man look at that reflection when it's clean. Like a mirror LoL and took a pic of the water beads. I wrung out the towel that I used the H2O on and it left water beads on the concrete for over and hour in 80+ degree temps. And they're still there. ?

cwp2016nd Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Did a one step paint correction yesterday on a 2010 Camaro SS. I used a SK21/SK12 and Adam's orange pads with another brands compound. It came out really nice. I also forgot how much real estate these 5th gen Camaros really have. I also heavily cleaned the wheels/tires and exhaust tips - I forgot to do a lot of before pictures, I just got to work when I arrived. The streaking you see on the tire is the product drying. It goes on shiny and turns into a dark, matte finish. I want to add that this has two layers of sealant on it as well. They are non-adams products but their equivalents would be using paint sealant and then topping that with quick sealant (their old aerosol sealant). It gives a GREAT gloss to the paint as well as solid protection. Edited October 24, 2018 by cwp2016nd falcaineer and Nickfire20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayS Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Not the best cleaning job due to the limited time. I did a Waterless Wash after work today so it would be reasonably clean for a short business trip in the morning. falcaineer and Nickfire20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Bought a four foot log rack and a log splitter today. After assembly I gave both a coating of Quick Sealant. We split several logs and brought in a few for the first fire in the fireplace in 10 years. Last month we had the chimney cleaned and inspected. Our ten year old twins are now enjoying their first indoor fire. Before they were born we’d have a fire nearly every night.
