Lol

Ferrari is ready. May3rd is the first cars and coffe at engineered automotive. Would like to go check that place out.
Rs2 needs a couple things. I've been spending so much lately (wife's new car, daughters new room, and other house stuff) I don't really have enough to go around to all the cars lol. Kinda regret getting another right now, especially with baby #2 on the way. If I waited 1 more month I would not have bought a second toy

Yup by hand, little little drop of soap and squish everything out.

On the subject of foam pads, It kinda feels like they don't have the cutting power they did when new, is that possible or Just me lol

Did my wax cheat over the weekend ....

- hand wash with soap and sponge, manually cleaned out the rear wheel wells
- RainX on the windows
- ghetto waxing with Turtle wax + cordless hand buffer of metal portions of the car; skipped the bumpers \:\|
- Touchup paint all over the fucking place ... \:\|
- DIY toothpaste haze removal on headlights; didn't work out that great

Too lazy to clay bar it... I may have to get some super duper liquid/shiny-looking wax and do it again ...

:D. Your choice haha

No polish yet ran out of time. Took it for a quick boot and holy hell. It's got old school turbo lag, then BAM all the boost lol. Would blow the doors of the lancia and the 348, feels faster than my 07 sti was as well

Just washed my car for the time this year.
Then couldn't pass up detailing the car after seeing all those rust dots on the paint.

When I started to apply the Klass All-in-one, I realized this stuff is like 10 years old and I wasn't sure if it's worth using it anymore.

So tried this Silverwax Fast Wax sample I got from the autoshow in Jan.
Just spray, wait a minute, then buff. Super easy, but learned that it only last s like a couple of months.


I looked into this stuff a little further. I think it's based on Quebec and can't really find reviews on them.

They also have this nano (ceramic?) stuff for about $60. Bargain compare to other leading brands'. They say it's good up to 3 cars.





Interesting video I watched today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ-SGYb2sJE&t=669s

Turtle Wax Ice liquid wax lasted surprisingly long. ( wtf? Hard to find).
All the ceramics over lasted it but the cost difference is very high.


Maybe I'll try Silverwax sealant? Probably good for about a year.

^so that spray wax will last like...a month max. what those are ment to do is give the car that fresh waxed look (if it's been clayed, polished and sealed properly beforehand), you wash the car and spray that on it and it brings back that gloss. otherwise, it won't last a shit and barely add shine to a car without a good wax if it's not there.

that nano ceramic stuff seems like a gimmick to me. haven't used it so i can't comment on it but it can't be anything more spectacular than a sealant. it's not a coating, so i would call it smoke and mirrors. a $50 bottle of blackfire would probably be better and can do up to 40 cars.

Though the guy who tested in the video, all the ceramic coated lasted over a year unde the sun.
Everything else (wax, sealant) failed.

He also has another video going right now with 34? Different products on the hood.

I detail it once a year anyway. Too rich for me.
What do you use ?

personally i don't pay attention to youtube product vids, i like to try the product out for myself and then make a decision. i stick to the clay/polish/seal routine that will last about 6-8 months and may re-seal which doesn't take long about every two months because i'm extra like that. if i were looking for something more long term i would consider doing a coating and a specific quick spray wax that keeps the coating looking fresh.

I've been looking for some kind of DIY ceramic (nano?) coating shit, but the ones I looked at you need a heat lamp to cure it ...

Still looking... Too poor to get CSI pros to do my detailing.
