In my opinion, Pan has the best detailing channel on YouTube. So I was very excited to see this 😁

Applied Tire Armor today. Took about an hour all toll, from getting all the tools, etc. ready to cleanup. First things first since we usually love them...the smell will likely not be one of your favorites. Smells like household paint. But the application was pretty straightforward. Longest, "most difficult" part was cleaning the tires thoroughly, but that wasn't too bad. Took 3-4 passes with TRC to get completely white foam. I also cleaned the wheels and fenders so that added some of the time mentioned earlier.
I only applied one coat, which left a satin/VRT-like finish. The directions said another coat could be applied after 10-15 minutes to give added gloss, which I assume is more Tire Shine-like. But this was my first try so wanted to see how one coat does for look and durability. They look pretty good (though I like them shinier), and the durability is TBD. I'll update this post over the next few weeks. But after driving once on a dirt road, no dust stuck to them.
Some lessons learned:
- I first tried a grey MF pad, but the results were lacking. Then I followed the directions on the bottle and switched to a grey foam tire block. MUCH better.
- Directions say to use "4-5 sprays into tread block and covering the majority of the surface area." I think that's somewhat misleading. I needed quite a few more all around the tire to get even coverage.
- Some got ontol the rims while I was spreading it. Not sure what effect it might have, but it's not really noticeable.
Now for pictures...

During...white foam = clean tires

This is the same guy from a while back that tried selling a Christmas DS bottle with regular DS inside and said it was “sent to him that way”. He’s now trying to sell a ‘15 USA DS “as-is” because it’s clearly refilled with something else.

DF24 your insight is greatly appreciated. I’ve heard the clay mitts are a lot simply to use. Thanks again! Enjoy the photo.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I personally have a lot to be thankful for this year, but unfortunately it means i'll be spending my 3rd year in a row away from my family for my favorite holiday! But for everyone that's lucky enough to be with loved ones, enjoy the day!

Started winter prep on my car with SW, Iron Remover, clay mitt and Ceramic Paste Wax (as the LSP). More pictures to follow in the next couple days as it was dark when I finished. I'm anxious to see it in the sunlight!
Here are a few pics of the Iron Remover in action.
So I had a door ding and red paint transfer. Tried the clay mitt but had a little issue with that, for some reason it left some residue transfer. Never fear. I broke out the Revive for the first time and, well, the results are obvious. RHP is a really underated product.

My first black vehicle - I cannot believe the work that so many of you do on black vehicles. This was a Body only effort on a 13 year old vehicle with 185,000 miles on it. While it was not terrible, it was not very good - I'd like to show you the before picture, but I accidentally deleted it. In case you are wondering, the 3/4 ton Suburban is a beast of a vehicle.

I was able to make my 85 year old father-in-law happy by detailing the closest thing he'll ever have to a vette. It was a fun project and he enjoyed cruising the neighborhood yesterday evening showing off his polished ride. The leather conditioner did wonders for the seats.
