What are you detailing today?


I know I like to share what I'm working on because I'm fortunate to get to work on a lot of cool projects. I also know a lot of people don't have time or inclination to share a full write-up for their current detailing project.

This forum group is to simply share a picture or two or a video of whatever is in your driveway, garage or shop.


And as of today, May 19th, 2023 - this forum group is officially open.

Thanks Paul,


Just finished doing all the paint correction and ceramic coating to the old 2-door Chevy, my wife Stacy detailed the interior.

Time to close down the AutoForge Garage and set the alarm...

Evening bucket wash…

So clean and shiny

I cleaned up the engine bay on my Mum's Nissan Qashqai, that's what they call Rogue over here. I sprayed liberally with Bowden's Orange Agent, went at it with some brushes, rinsed, then blew it out with a Bigboi. Then sprayed Meguiar's Hyper Dressing on all the plastics.

Noticed that the rinse got more overspray than I expected, so I I'd wash the whole thing. Did the wheels with Bowden's Wheely Clean, then sealed them with 303 Touchless Sealant. Washed everything else with Carpro Reset, then dried with TWHS Ceramic Wet Wax.

That’s fire smoke and soot on the roof as well as the entire car.

Love that $89.00 pressure washer. That's what I've been using for the past four years.

 

[Mike Phillips]

It worked pretty well for a compact, electric pressure washer.

Here’s a real delicate project. This is a 1970 Plymouth Superbird. The back glass window has a lot of scratches. Many are shallow, some are deep. I’ve been told there are NO OEM replacements.

The last thing a person wants to do is screw this project up. Nervous .

Cool project-good luck!

Anything you would suggest for water spots on vintage glass on a 69 Pontiac . How would you go about it.

This was 5 days after applying the DIY % Year Cearmic. Hydropohics test. Didn't introduce any chemicals or soap.
Purely wanted to see the overall performance on the water behavior.
