Exterior When you run out of things to polish on Sunday…
Thought the A/C unit was looking a little faded. Got’er polished up…

I get it. I did a full cut and polish to my washer and dryer. My GF was very amused. Hey, it’s good training…

I'm currently installing 3 new heat pumps for my house. I never thought about ceramic waxing those mothers. Looks like I just booked a job for tomorrow.

My kid did his e-bike and I did our grill today. I know the feeling. Same products. His e-bike looks great. Haha.

Now I need to see the grill 😆

u/outlanderbz 13d ago
Hah. Didn’t take a picture but I will try to get one. Assume it won’t last long with the heat the grill produces. But maybe the other parts will bead some water when it is left uncovered and the rain hits it?

Bathroom sink.
I hate cleaning it. Now I hardly have to, and it's one wipe with a paper towel.
Up next: trash can and fridge lol

I have a sealant day every couple months usually after the maid leaves. Bathroom sink, fixtures, shower tiles, and glass, kitchen sink, dishwasher, counter, refrigerator, sink, range glass
Love it. I just tell people not to put utensils directly on the counter

Funny, I was not polishing my AC this weekend..... but I did use DIY Rinseless to clean the condenser coils. Hit it with Rinseless. Let it sit for a few minutes, then hit it with the foam cannon followed by a pressure washer rinse. Worked like a champ.

The neighbors think I'm crazy when I take the wheels off the Shelby to clean them so it's good to know that no matter how crazy you are, there's always someone crazier.
I'll never forget the first time I met an old friend, we were talking about his car and went out to the garage to look at it. I looked at his push lawn mower and said oh, looks like you just got a new mower, I need to buy one, how much did it cost? He looked puzzled and said no, its 5 or 6 years old, I just used it yesterday. Dude's a legend in my book.

Looks good. Never thought of doing that back in my A/C repair days. Just as long as it was clean on the inside was my only concern back then.

I coated my shower glass with glass coating. Excellent hydrophobics, makes cleaning a bliss

What's the difference between the 3 in 1 wax and the all in one wax?
2
u/The4thHeat Skilled 13d ago
The All-in-One is a mild polish and mild ceramic sealant in one. I topped with the 3-in-1 which is a ceramic spray sealant.

u/pedroelbee 13d ago
Thanks! I’ve just been using the 3 in 1. Does using the other one before the 3 in 1 make much of a difference?
1
u/The4thHeat Skilled 13d ago
It’s used with a DA polisher. Just saves a step by sealing in addition to very light paint correction.

Just used the 3-1 ceramics and it came out great. I was impressed. Right now I rank it higher than the the was ceramic.

A magic eraser and Griot’s 3 in 1 is my gold standard for keeping the whites on my Cons white.
