Show off that REFLECTION.

Balancing cut and finish on this 2017 GMC that was at one point a rental vehicle so it was messed up pretty badly. One stepped it with almost entirely rotary work with Angelwax and a mixture of cutting foam pads (HDOs and 7.5" CCSs). This is "middle of the road." Maximum amount of cut while still being able to finish out crisp enough so as to not leave a haze effect.

 

I got some CG products I'm sure can do about the same.









as always man!

 

Lmao I like to watch Masterson's channel sometimes for a good laugh as well.

 

Not a tundra but worked on the wife’s mommy wagon today. Only got the back and the two rear quarters done. Clay bar, 3D one step, and Adams polishes buttery wax. All by hand. Thinking I should invest in a polisher at some point.

 

Definitely invest in a polisher. Another thing to consider...you went through considerable effort on a large vehicle to get to your wax stage...and you applied a product that is essentially the same as Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax......which will only last a few weeks if you are lucky. Carnuba waxes are awesome for warmth and depth of color...not so much for longevity. Give some thought to applying a quality sealant like Wolfgang SIO2, Jescar Powerlock or Powerlock Plus. You'll get a better return on your investment.

 

Same......one product that Mastersons sells that I've tried and liked is their Snow Foam.....one of the best foaming soaps I've used.

 

Not so much reflection but damn I love shine supply clutch on my soft cover.

 

Some wetsanding today on this 2020 Raptor. About 6 spots similar in size to this one pictured....shit repaint on the passenger doors and a shotty detailer at the body shop they used left issues that a cut/polish wouldn't handle.

 

Newbie detailer here but spent a few hours yesterday cleaning her up. Didn't do any real decon, just washed and applied some TW ICE Seal n Shine then put some ICE Spray wax on top of that.

 

Looks killer.

TW products are highly slept on. SnS revamped their product image. I recently gave their Ceramic Spray Coating a shot and it has been killing it. Saw a vehicle we used it on 4 months post application with 0 washes and it was still acting beautifully. It's cheap too (compared to other 12 month durability claimed sealants).

 

Years ago I used a product called Klasse all in one polish. I had just begun doing anything besides wash and wax. Seems like it did a good job but I never hear about it from anyone. Any experiences with Klasse all in one polish?

 

Winner!

 

You know what true beauty is!
Literally one of the better afternoons in the past 2 years.

 

Never used it....but it gets a lot of love on detailing forums I'm on. It's a little different than the other AIOs...in that it contains no abrasives, and it's protection is acrylic.

 

Got the mommy n daddy wagons cleaned up

 

So fresh and so clean clean

 

All Rupes today

The turbo Accord tomorrow

 

Ram 2500 today for 10 hours. Not a typo. I am wiped out. 8k miles on this 2021 with maybe 25-30 tunnel washes under its belt made for an awful day polishing. Ended up having to use the rotary on 95% of it (short of plastics) to achieve decent results. Some extremely hard paint on these new Rams....

 

Nailed it with some Meguiars Carnauba.

 

Was a simple day today. '21 Pilot with 14k miles already. Brother cranked the interior out for me while I did the exterior. This was supposed to be a quick wash/decon/coat (no polish) special today but my OCD wasn't having it. Did a super quick pass (45min for the entire vehicle) with HDO orange/Angelwax Regenerate to give it some more gloss and remove light swirling. Coated in UD Pro like everything else

 

My 2010 is in need of major detailing and possible paint correction. Anyone you would recommend in the OC area? 92688

 

Should I attempt to correct this myself? Just noticed it on my truck which I just got back Friday. Repair shop said they can fix but I really don't want to go through that process again.

 

Does your thumbnail catch it?

 

Did you convince him/her never to go through a tunnel wash again?

 

He was informed...doubt it though. Can lead a horse to water...

 

I paint “corrected” this today.

 

The new Pilots are kinda dope. Look like an egg outside but the inside is noooooiiicccee.

 

I still use Klasse AIO sealant and it still works great for me. I do the two step method. I use the AIO and then apply the Klasse Pure Sealant the next day. I still get 6 months of protection in the Georgia sun. The ceramic products are better but I still like Klasse. I used it the other day to clean after I took the local Toyota dealership's sticker off my wife's new Camry. It worked like a charm to clean up the sticky and the residue.
