haha, what I came out to a few days ago...now today i go out and car covered in 2-3 inches of snow/ice...
:nod: Yup, that's what it's like around here as well for 8 long months :shakehead: Sure puts a damper on detailing, well kinda
This was last night in Raleigh after I cleaned off the car in the afternoon.... Suppose to get back down to 15*F tonight so everything will be freezing back up....
Frozen beading alright. The 'Rolla is sporting some BlackFire Wet Diamond. The passenger half of the cowl i swearing Ultima Trim Guard Plus and the tires sporting the Tropi-Care dressing. Last applied approx. 2-3 weeks ago now. So far the UTGP is holding up, and so is the dressing on the tires.
Here some photos of the cowl. If you look close, the cowl underneath the ice on the passenger half is darker than the driver-side half. No real prep work, other than thoroughly washing the vehicle, and applying the dressing over the area a few passes to ensure complete coverage.
looks great even under the ice haha.. So I take it you like the trim dressing? What other dressings have you used? TC White Pearl does look great and last a good amount of time, only tire dressing I will use from now on.
I've previously used Black Wow. I like the look of Black Wow, and it appears to last longer that using 303 Protectant, that I've used in the past, but it's WAY too messy. UTGP I have found to provide a great look and very easy to apply. As far as the white pearl, I wish it had a touch more sheen. Maybe I'll mix some of my (1:1) Opti-Bond and water solution with an equal part of White Pearl and see what happens. But overall I am impressed with it. Once it's on the tire and saturated into the rubber, it does appear to hold up to water better than most other dressings.
There is a version that is not sold in the stores that is a little thicker and has a bit more sheen to it. I just traded the 16oz I had the other week but if you send them a email or call them they should be able to make you some or send you out a bottle.
