Ls1transam Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Don't feel bad.....your not the only one who's done that......... I wasn't thinking or paying attention. And afterward I put them in the dryer on the wrong heat cycle. I'm sure it's just my paranoi but, they don't feel as soft now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocdrifter Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 John next time you wash these towels ad one or two cups of white vinegar to your wash, it's a natural fabric softener that will not affect the fiber, this should help soften you up.

mc2hill Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I detailed a Fiat Abarth for a friend. Started with the wheels: Wheel Cleaner, then diluted APC in the wheel wells, and Tire & Rubber Cleaner. Cleaned with Strip Wash, then clayed off lots of leftover adhesive from the protective shipping film. I applied a coating to the wheels, and PS on the body. Not too much black trim, but hit that with VRT and I&O Spray. Wheel cleaning - Just sprayed: ooooo, brake blood! cleaned! Finito! ocdrifter, SumBeach35, jakerodz7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocdrifter Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 John plus or minus, it depends on how many towels you're washing. 1-2 cups? That sounds like a lot lol. But I'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelilton23 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 my partner gave her Mazda 2 a good clean with car shampoo, and a coating of buttery wax for good measure! It gave the paint so much more depth, it looks incredible in the sun! The white spot on the bonnet isn't dirt, it's the reflection of the moon ????

joelilton23 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Looking good Joel. thanks! i'd love to take the credit, but she did it all by herself! (with a few pointers from me and a whole afternoon of Adam's detailing videos) It looks even more amazing in the sun! Might have to order her some patriot wax from the US store (we don't get it over here in Aus) and get it shining even more. So much metallic in the paint, a really great factory color.

Captain Slow Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) I swapped out the summer wheels/tires for a set of winter wheels/tires. They were coated with a competitors wheel coating before installation. The Brembo brake calipers were also cleaned and coated while the wheels were off.

Chadley Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 So tomorrow is my big day! Finally no rain, 60°. My BF wrecked his truck and I loaned him mine for 2 weeks while his was in shop. Got it back yesterday OMG my truck has never been this dirty! So tomorrow is detail day and the first time to use my new swirl killer! I'll post pics! I've been planning this for 2 months, Wish me luck! blcksilv08 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadley Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yesterday I wet sanded my headlights. I had no clue what I was doing but I followed the steps from another post here on the forum. 1500 grit, 2000 grit, 3000 grit, Swirl killer with orange foam pad and correcting polish, then white foam pad with finishing polish. They are far from perfect but still 100% better mc2hill, Yoshi, SumBeach35 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
