redneck08sierra Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I shined up my shop-vac! Why you ask? Simple, I have 3 daughters and needed some alone time in the garage. Before: After: I'd like to thank All purpose cleaner for giving me a clean surface to work with. Also, couldn't have brought out the depth and finish without a generous coat of Super VRT. I did resist using the In and Out Spray on the flexible hose.....maybe next time! OCD to a whole new level!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Gave the DD a Rinseless wash and wanted to do more, but I don't have the time right now. My paint is trashed from winter. Off in a week so it will definitely be on the agenda to polish it up a bit to where it will be acceptable until Spring.

mc2hill Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Started the detailing on a clients 1926 Rolls Royce Twenty Park Ward (the coach builder). He is the 4th owner of the car, and the family he purchased it from had it for over 50 years. This is the 'smaller' version of the Rolls, but there is still lots of paint to work on! He takes care of polishing the metal work and I do the paint. This car has German Silver on the radiator, window frames, and air flow vents so he gets off easy this time! I tried my Rupes LHS 15 Mark II for the first time and LOVED it! The client has approved write up on this, so as we do more work I will post up some pics.

Audog Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Used new Cyclo for first time today, wow - lots easier than my PC. Rinse less wash, Clay, little correction on couple of tiny scratches. Then Liquid paint sealant, followed by coat of Patriot. Wife's friends still in house planning baby shower for daughter in law, so stayed in garage and finished interior, glass, tires and trim. Cherokee looks great again, bet it rains or snows tomorrow. Schell21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) PIcked up a new (old) turntable this week. Most vintage turntables have scratches/swirls on the dust cover. This one was in decent shape overall, no cracks, but I did have to do a little sanding on a few spots, then wool followed by orange pad and finished with white. Then some BG followed by Buttery Wax. For the table itself a little APC cut 1:4 and a toothbrush. Just forgot to take before pictures of the table.

Captain Slow Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) ATS4 got a couple of top to bottom rinses then Rinseless Washed. It was rinsed with 1 oz. Rinseless Wash in a gallon of water. I used my garden sprayer and blasted away. The microfiber towels were coming off the car nearly clean so the double rinse did the trick. Followed up with Adam's Detail Spray wipe down. Now it can sit in the garage tomorrow while we get 3-5" of the cursed white stuff. The tires got coated after I pulled her back in the garage. I wanted to get the pics before I lost the sunlight. The best thing is my garage now smells like bubble gum!

mc2hill Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Spent the day shining up my S-I-L's 1966 GTO clone, a recent purchase. Man, this is a huge car! The Rupes 15 Mark II was a great help on the acres of paint. The surface had plenty of swirls, but after I got those out I chased what turned out to be sanding marks for a while. As I worked the rest of the car we found many more areas where the prep for the paint was done poorly. Not sure I have enough shots for a write-up, but here is a teaser anyway.

stripesace Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) I want one of those keychains... How can Adam's get a bucket load? I kind of was hoping Rupes was putting them in every new Mark II purchased... but no love. Edited March 21, 2016 by stripesace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 those keychains are cool!! Nice shirt too, but the real question, how was the nano?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 those keychains are cool!! Nice shirt too, but the real question, how was the nano?! You really only want to know the answer if you have an extra $600 burning a hole in your pocket! They are fantastic little machines. I tried the prototypes at Mobile Tech Expo (the same units they had a SEMA). They worked fine, but were getting a little 'tired' (according to the Rupes reps). The one I tried this weekend was an early production unit, and worked a little better than the prototypes. Check out DaytonaJae's video - Dylan polishes Jae's watch. I can see soooo many uses for this size tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Well that hit a big OUCH of a price point! Guess I won't be getting one of those any time soon lol. But today I cleaned the windshield and front door glass in my truck. Edited March 21, 2016 by pirahnah3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But today I cleaned the windshield and front door glass in my truck. It ain't cheap, but there is a lot of technology in the tool. The long running/quick charge battery, and it is a rotary AND a dual action polisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripesace Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I did my in-laws cars. I had a Winter Daily Driver Kit and Leather Cleaner and Conditioner kit sent to their house since we flew in for the weekend. My mother in laws dodge journey got a nice shampoo and H2O guard and gloss application. Tires cleaned, wheels and fenders cleaned, topped with Tire Shine. My father in law works at a concrete casting plant. His car badly needs a clay, and I'm thinking next time we go, I think we're driving so I'm pretty sure I'm going to bring my polishing kit go to town and see what I can do to really turn it around. Small car, should hopefully go quickly. I didn't have clay and Advanced Auto eluded my schedule before all weekend, so it just got a quick wheel treatment, wash, and H2O guard and gloss. The results on his car speak VOLUMES about the H2O Guard and Gloss product.I regret I didn't get to clay it. this car didn't even sheet water much less bead before I got H2O guard and gloss on it. The biggest WOW of the weekend was the new Wheel Cleaner. I really didnt notice any odor which tells me the new scent is in the right direction, but look what happened to these wheels! Also LOTS of scrubbing with a tire brush and APC on those tires to get them back to black. TheWolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
