Yep, quite a few nice 38mm watches too but I prefer 40mm-42mm watches more. You can usually hide the size pretty well if you go for a 38mm diver watch with the bezel since they wear smaller.

The weather and climate. When I’m bored. Srsly.

Here are the temperatures around the world at this moment. An interesting thing to do is, over the next few months, watch as freezing temperature line slowly descends south from the arctic as winter approaches.

Uuuuhhhhhhmmmmm...

Architecture (was actually going to be my career before auto technician)

Music (played the trumpet for 5 years until I had to quit band because scheduling reasons)

Video games (all of which usually involve cars... Oh, and The Sims)

I’ve recently taken up a bit of cooking, nothing too special though.

That’s probably about it.

No not a job. I don’t charge, I just find it very therapeutic. You see something tangible for your time and if see the owners face when they get back to their pride and joy is a great feeling. There is a lass just over the border into Scotland who I’ve cleaned her cars for every month or other month for three or four years. We have a symbiotic relationship is that she likes a clean car but gets them dirty and I like to clean them so it works for us both.

In the winter, I like to go ice climbing and, once, I got to do some mountain climbing and would love to go again. Being in MI makes that a little tough though.

In the summer, I try to get in some hiking and backpacking and as much cycling as I can (which is never enough, I’m really not staying in shape lately)

I have at least one motorcycle at all times and love to get out for longer trips. A couple years back I was lucky enough to be able to spend 3 weeks riding around out west with my dad:

I also recently got back into building scale models, something I always liked doing as a kid. And I really dig good beer and good food.

Pressure wash excess crud from the vehicle, spray degreaser/dressing combo into door shuts, snow foam and allow to dwell while attacking the wheels with a fallout remover and wheel cleaner combo, scrub tyres and wheel arches with stiff nylon brush and pressure rinse, rinse down the whole vehicle, shampoo wash using two bucket method, de-tar where tar is present, rinse, spray fallout remover on whole vehicle and allow to work then rinse, rewash vehicle with shampoo and rinse, if polishing is required do so and seal with a simple Si02 based sealant, if not then just seal and then seal the wheels which will reduce the build up and speed of build up of brake dust etc... then onto the inside with an anti-bacterial cleaner and if necessary an enzyme odour/bacteria destroyer and then a full anti-bacterial wipe of every surface and dress. If animals are common in the vehicle I’d lay down a layer of a photo catalyst odour destroyer which will use the sun’s UV rays to break down the odours as and when they happen. Dress all exterior plastics and tyres, seal glass and done. Ten-12 hours total, 18 if polishing is needed.

Dayum. I’ve only ever done step one lol. I took it to a car wash to get the salt off the frame, but that only served to shoot the little bit of rock dust I had in the bed all over the car.

Also do you not claybar? I always thought that was an important step to detailing.

Svend > Shoop 09/05/2015 at 10:49

1

I don’t use clay bar as such in the most part it has been replaced with shaving blocks, clay mitts and clay towels. They are foam blocks, mitts and towels that have a textured rubber coating. The rubber coating is far more durable than a clay bar. If you drop a clay bar on the floor you have to throw it away, with the rubber coated products each will do about 20 cars for needing replaced and if dropped only need a good rinse in a bucket to remove the contaminants.

But even then I prefer to use tar and fallout removers to remove contaminants as these require very little effort and less physical contact on my part with the vehicle. Most marring, swirls and webs are inflicted during the washing and drying stages so if you can practice a non contact or minimal contact approach the longer your paint work will last looking great especially dark coloured cars and black cars.

The first thing I always recommend is rinse from the bottom up and then down, and wash from the top down in that you wash the roof first, then round all the glass and pillars, then all round the upper section above the rubbing strip and then round below it. This is because the lower half has the most grit, dirt and debris on it and you want to keep down any risk of introducing a piece of grit from the lower half up to say the bonnet (hood) where it may stratch it.

Also practice the two bucket method in that one bucket has shampoo and water and the other has just water. You want to apply you wash mitt to the shampoo bucket and let it soak up some shampoo water, then gently apply the mitt to a section of the vehicle and wipe, then taking the mitt, rinse it in the plain water (this will loosen the dirt from the mitt and reduce any risk of reintroducing the dirt back to the vehicle), gently wring out excess water and then put the mitt back in the shampoo water and continue around the vehicle. You want notice much at the time as the plain water will get a layer of shampoo foam on the top but once the foam has gone you’ll notice quite a bit of grit, dirt and debris in the bottom of the plain water bucket.
