I had a rare day off yesterday, I got off duty from the firehouse at 8:00 AM, and I wasn't scheduled at either of my per diem jobs... the only thing on my agenda other than going to the firehouse for the night tour starting at 6:00 PM was to drop off and pick up our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Bailey at the "doggie detailers"...
After dropping Bailey off... I got to the house and decided it would be a good day to reorganize my detailing supplies. I loaded up my CD player, cranked the tunes and went to "work".
I emptied the cabinet that I store my stuff in , cleaned the interior and exterior of the cabinet and did a minor repair to it (replacing the lower backing fiberboard of the cabinet) , then went through all of my detailing supplies, organizing them by type, cleaning the bottles, filling the spray bottles and going through the older used pieces of detailing clay ( I save them for claying stubborn stains on wheels), throwing out the grungiest ones.
I then took out my polishers and cleaned them up using some Zep Citrus cleaner/degreaser mixed 5 to 1.
Next was my wet/dry vac. I cleaned the filter, dumped the contents of the vacuum and cleaned the hose and housing.
I then set about cleaning up the pads I used from the last detail I did.. I soaked them in a 50/50 mix of Zep Citrus cleaner/degreaser and hot water I before I started the re-org, I scrubbed them down with a brush to remove any residues from compounds, polishes and waxes, rinsed them and set them out to air dry.
The phone rang, it was my wife Trish stating that Bailey was ready to be picked up. I had an appointment for a haircut and had to go to work, so I couldn't finish the last part... going through my polisher pads, microfibers and other toweling and reorganize those items. That is today's project!
