💦 Detailing TCG Detailing Thread

What towels are you using for the interior ?

A product that has anti static properties would help mitigate the dust.
Keep in mind that the pollen has been terrible. I washed my truck on Saturday and within hours the whole truck looked like this.

P and S paint gloss used as a drying aid should help the 'dust' attraction

the pollen this weekend was completely batshit it looked like a dust storm behind my house yesteray

Damn. Guess I’m not the only one with pollen and dust buildup. As for I terior im using The Rag Company microfibers and they do seem to leave lint and dust behind that’s super noticeable on the glossy black trim.

I like to use a Swiffer on the interior when it’s clean to grab random dust and other microfiber leave behinds.

What towel from TRC ? I would be using an eagle 350, 450 or 500 to mitigate scratches. They should not lint.

What do you wash them with ? Do you put them in the dryer ?
I hang dry my towels on a rack. Even on low heat, the dryer seems to be too hot. I don't want to damage the MF.

Lastly, do you wash all of your MF towels together or do you separate them ?

1 linting towel washed with others can f things up

I bought the spectrum 420 form TRC. They get washed together and dried on low heat

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

I would wash them with a double rinse and hang dry to see if that stops the lint.

 

[smug]

Are the eagle rags suppose to be better? Is there special way to clean this black to mitigate scratches?

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

The eagles are the softest towel they offer. The spectrums are good too, they are dual pile.
From what I gather, ppf on the piano black is the only way to prevent marks. Or clear coat them

The piano black is not base coat clear coat, it's the equivalent of model paint. Like legit Testors
Like paint.

 

[smug]

Gotcha. I love the look but hate the maintenance

Just an ONR hand wash today.

I tried some piano cleaner on my piano black trim and it worked wonderful. No streaks and dust to a minimum.

 

[SleeperLS]

Damn good idea

 

[IDAFC21]

Detailed the SQ5 today. Dawn wash in the foam canon and on the wash towels. Spot buffed the rear bumper and the front doors (residue left from the window tint shop yesterday), no other spots needed to be buffed.
IPA wipe down on all panels.
Car Pro UK 3.0 coating, only 1 coat as I’m almost out now and didn’t have enough for 2 coats. The GTI could use a fresh coat so I’ll grab a bottle later this summer and redo the GTI and add a 2nd coat to this.
Gteqnic Glass coating and Tire dressing.
3 coats of coating on windshield and the hatch glass. 1 coat on side glass and roof glass.

Did the leather Coulorlock kit last weekend on the red interior. Should probably do another coat on the GTI interior one of there days.

 

[blue-sun]

Red interior after the Colourlock

 

[IDAFC21]

Looks fantastic.

I polished and coated my mom's new Crosstrek last weekend and polished and coated my dad's Durango today.

Hot and humid in the garage makes the CSL flash quick, so both jobs didn't take a 'long' time

My truck I bought previous owner was a smoker. I ran a ozone generator which helped a ton, but scent is coming back which I figured it would. Its not as bad this time around. Looking for someone to come out to do an interior detail only. Anyone here do that or know someone or a place that does? I don't have all the stuff needed for that or the time to do it correctly.
