What did you do detail-related today?

[LonestarRS]

[MENTION=48]LonestarRS[/MENTION].... did you get and use the Reload yet?

Not yet, I was on a cruise this pass week. I tracked the package and its at my home just haven't gotten home yet haha.

Looks flawless.

Had that guy come like over this morning for some lessons on his new Porter Cable. It went well and he seemed to really enjoy detailing.

This afternoon I finally took the time to clean up the Escape. It looks pretty good all cleaned up.

 

[GhostRS]

Thx! Magnetic is a great color.... looks great cleaned up and very forgiving.
I still like the RS in SG though... it's still the only car I see on the road in that color.

Sad that Magnetic wasn't a color option for the RS here in North America.

Also did the husband's Escape yesterday:

Amazingly all 4 vehicles are clean right now! This NEVER happens!

Are those stock Escape wheels? Wonder how the Focus RS wheels would look on that.

Yup... stock wheels.

 

[FocusMike]

+1 on putting the RS wheels on the Escape haha.

Yup... stock wheels.

They almost remind me of the forged RS wheels.

Similar... but I like the forged wheels on the RS better.
But really nice wheels for an Escape.

Do I just wash the car and use the spray or do I need to do anything to the paint first?

Just spray it on as a LSP

Thanks, its been so hot here lately that I haven't had a chance to wash the car in nearly two weeks haha.

It was really hot here this past week as well.... I'm glad detailing wasn't on my list of things to do this weekend.
It's only 79 degrees right now but the humidity feels like 150%. Total soup outside. Yuck.

A guy at work today asked me to look at his Jeep....

He had his wife help him left the soft top off it and she basically dropped it onto the Jeep... bad scuffs all over under where the soft top sits.

I'm going to bring in some stuff and try to get rid of most of it for him. I'll post some before and after pics.

 

[LonestarRS]

[MENTION=132]GhostRS[/MENTION] you should really considering doing this as a side business.

I did. But it took too much of my time on my weekends. No matter what I charged it just wasn't worth it to me. I don't mind helping a friend out here and there. I'd rather do that.

 

[GhostRS]

Cleaned the Jeep up yesterday- came out great! I was able to get out 98% of the damage which was more than I anticipated. He was thrilled.
Sadly I didn't get any before and after shots.
