Very impressive, I think that is the best interior detail I've seen from you. It looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. The corner to corner lines look pretty sweet. And of course the exterior is no slouch either, the white is much brighter now. However, how dare you leave the Ulti-mitt on the ground!

Also, when using the QD when drying, do you find that your WW towels become less absorbant after using the QD for a while? I used to use Eagle 1 wax as you dry with a WW and it 'clogged' the towel. After that I used a different QD w/out wax with a different towel with similar experiences. I have since given up using a QD while drying. Just curious about your experiences...

Man wow, thanks alot.... and I had to let the ulti mitt dry out!!! atleast it wasn't facin on the red side

to be honest with you I just started doing it about a week ago... and all my drying towels get washed once or twice a week and I have about 6 of them... I rotate btwn cars. With a spray wax I could see ur problem, but QD's are more water based than anything, so as it dries not too much is gettting left behind in the towel

Great work on the outside. FANTASTIC work on the inside.

Yeah, I guess some QDs may react differently than others depending on their make up. I really like the concept of using a QD to prevent marring during drying. I had my guzzler act up on me last week and the last time I used it was with ONR, I wonder if that is detrimental to WW as well... I doubt it though, I did a good soak, wash and rinse (with vinager added) this week with it and hopefully that'll revitalize it. Once again great detail...
