Detailing the Door Jams

Good day! I hope that you are all staying safe while we wait out this virus craziness. Today, while cleaning the car, I decided to do something I've never done before - I detailed the painted surfaces on the door jams and door surrounds. I usually clean them once a year, but this year I decided to put some sealant on them too. Do you do this?

Cheers, and stay safe. OK, now for the obligatory pics:

Man you just can't go wrong with carbon black I work for a Jaguar Land Rover dealership (ironic I know) but my detailers know how picky I am with my door jambs so they are always meticulous every time the car is cleaned

I had a hunch I was a little late to the party. While I've been doing the wash & wax thing for decades, only in the last while have I started paying attention to the stuff that most people don't see. I suppose I need to do the engine bay now too!

Yep! But not as often as I'd ideally like. If it wasn't a year round, salt belt, daily driver it would be easier.

I think this is one of the most missed parts of a well cleaned car... when you open the door and see dirt in the jambs or at the hinges... it's just normally overlooked. Well done.

Check out Sarah-n-tuned on YouTube. She detailed the underside of her Forester! She is very pleasant to watch and she does good work too!

Fooled me!

He had a channel chronicling his physical change. No matter the appearance, he's still XY. He seems to have scrubbed his tranny channel. Besides...




I believe this was his he to he/she channel; sarah-n-dipity. Can't find it anymore... Screen shot:

Once a year I use car sealant on the inside, much easier too clean and buff dry.
