Captain Slow Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 What? No pics? I want to see this "Boo boo van" with a fresh coat of QS. Didn't take any pics but I have one from the spring cleanup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antv20 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Wasn't today, but I polished our new stainless steel fridge. It was a floor model with minor scuffs but we got a heck of a deal on it. Now the wife says I need to do the stainless on the dishwasher too. Oh and the scuffs are gone.

Captain Slow Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Yesterday I Rinseless Washed the G8 in the garage...f****** birds s*****n' all over my clean ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) I hosed off the G8 GT at the diy spray place then drove home dodging puddles. Once home I rinseless washed the vehicle then took it to the company Christmas party. Quik Sealant is holding up great. Three rinseless washes and one two bucket wash and paint is still beautiful.

mc2hill Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Just washing today, but quantity and serious quality. My buddy called and asked me to help him to clean a few cars at the Festivals of Speed here in Orlando today. We did 12 Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, and Porsche's, and even an Audi i8! Some very, very sweet rides. I home left without my camera, but will steal some of his photos when he gets them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crowvet Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Picked up this little Sportster today.. Thought it will be cool for the grandchildren. Cleaned up pretty nice. I am storing it for a while so I didn't get carried away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Before sunrise I took the booboo van to the diy car wash and two bucket washed it. Detail Sprayed it before drying and headed out. Quick Sealant holding up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Washed the wife's car and my truck (2 bucket method). Used one bucket of Rinseless wash for both. I usually replace the rinse water before the 2nd car, but it was not very dirty, so I kept going. After finishing my truck. I did the rear wheels of both (rear drums), then the front wheels of both, then all the tires. Total work time - about 40 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 DaytonaJae and I did a decon detail for a co-worker. They painted a water tower by our work a few months ago, and he recently noticed overspray on his new charcoal grey BMW 335 M Sport. The paint spots were a bear to remove, and required some very aggressive clay, but after about an hour and a half the paint spots were gone. That left lots of marring, but otherwise the paint only had a few swirls. We polished the car, then applied LPS and QS to the wheels. My co-worker and Jae removed the LPS while I a quick polish of his girlfriends Jeep's headlights. Needless to say he was blown away by how the car looked in the sun. Sorry no pictures on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Aggghhh - the yellow 'snow' is here! Our oak tree pollen is out in full force this week. We did a road trip to visit our son at college and returned yesterday. Today I did a interior detail, a regular wheel cleaning, and a rinseless wash. The car looks much better inside and out, and I applied Tire Shine to top it off. I LOVE Rinseless wash! Junior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guz Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I posted this on FB but I picked up some Clear Polish on one of my orders during the 15th anniversary sale. I have x-pel on my headlights and gave the polish a quick test run after finishing up the brake job on my 99 Grand Prix. I applied it by hand with a foam applicator as I was to tired to get the DA. I got pretty good results even by hand. . A quick 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Washed the wife's car and my truck (2 bucket method). It had been a while since I fully cleaned the wheels, so I cleaned them first. I used pre-mixed Car Wash Shampoo in the wheel wells and for the wheel covers on the car. I scrubbed the barrels of the truck wheels with diluted GWC. For the wash I used one bucket of Rinseless wash (1 oz in 2.5 gallons) for both. I did replace the rinse water before the 2nd vehicle. After I was done I realized I forgot how nice my truck looks when it is clean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Washed my DD. Hooked up the bumper and passenger side rear door and quarter using the Cyclo. Massive improvement. Need to do the driver side some time this week. That will pretty much take care of the entire car as far as what has been corrected. It has been a work in progress.

Z06Seal Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Washed the corvette and the volt (yesterday). It was very hot and I ended up getting water spots on the paint though. Kind of annoying. More reason to use rinseless wash in my garage (I gotta be honest that I enjoy 2 bucket wash more though) any suggestions on how to remove water spots after the fact? Didn't take pictures right after, but we did go to a car & coffee meet with wife and met up with other corvette forum members. A photographer came and wanted to take some pictures of our cars. It was a fun day. mc2hill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBurninator Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Washed the CC for the first time in about 3 months yesterday. It looked pretty sad in the driveway covered in stuff from the last time I drove it in December. Really I just wanted an excuse to use the new car shampoo Deep wheel cleaner put in some work Quick once over on the engine bay All finished: Then went and did some sanding on the shift knob badge on my GTI. Remove the old paint, sanded from 400 out to 2000 wet and then hit it with Adam's Paint Correcting Polish by hand. Applied new backings and will paint them to match the car later this week. Also got the new wheel in the car and started loading it with leather conditioner. Been conditioning it every couple days to soften it up a bit and seems to be helping get rid of some of the wrinkles in the leather.

Captain Slow Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Waterless Washed the G8 then clay barred it. I used 2 oz. Rinseless Wash in 32 oz. Kwazar spray bottle and had at it. IMHO it worked great! Paint felt like a gravel driveway before. Now it's smooth as glass. Put a coat of 'wax' on it, though I may break out the polisher tomorrow...hmmmmm. Problem is the interior needs attention even more so. I'd like to polish the paint but I want to do best possible correction which will take more time than I have to spend. May just do hood and front quarter panels then sections the following weeks as time allows. I was sad to take the Quik Sealant off since it was still beading strong but like I said the paint before, yuckies! The paint now, yummy!

The Guz Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Corrected my brothers car this weekend. The body shop made a mess out of it last year when he had this aftermarket hood painted. I suspect that they took a rotary to the car. Their is still some deep sanding marks on the hood that I was not able to get out. A before shot. After A couple 50/50's The end result. All sealed and ready to go. mc2hill and NowDatsG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenWS6 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Finally warm enough to wash outside yesterday. Starting with the hood. Clayed. Then tried my Liquid Paint Sealant, glazed and waxed with Americana. Also tried the VRT on the tires for the first time.
