    Have you ever tried 303 for your interior needs? I use it once a year for a good base and maintain with various interior detailersWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I used 303 for a while, but everything inside the FJ is hard plastics, so whenever it got wet, it streaked really bad, mainly on the doors. I really like it on rubber, it seems to absorb well, but just sits on top of plastics waiting to be rinsed off. Probably be ok for the dash top. I even used Meg's Quikwax for a while, it worked ok, no streaking, but didn't look like it had been treated either.

    With where you live interior protection is as important as exterior protection. I guess you really have to use what works for you down there without a doubt.

    Mustang got its first wash of the season.

    Griots Brilliant Finish Wash and HD Wheel Cleaner. Didn't need a lot of work, just a layer of dust to wash off, no bug guts yet.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Started off the morning by taking the EN to the touch-free wash because it did infact rain overnight, so got that done. Next up was to clean up my g/f's Cruze, obviously it too was dirty, so let's get into it's wash process.

    I decided to do an Ech2o RW on it, so I mixed up 3 oz of Ech2o and added 3.5 gallons of water to the solution bucket and about 2.5 gallons in the rinse bucket, grabbed my DIY Detail Legacy sponge and got to it.

    Using the pump up IK sprayer has eliminated the need for my 1000 ML Kwazer, should've gotten this years ago, NOT a year agoWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing? After cleaning each panel I sprayed some DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss as a drying aid and my God, between Ech2o AND this stuff that black paint was D E E PWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Next up were the windows and for this I reached for an OLD product, DG Glass Repellent, even its white bottle is yellowing. I actually applied it to the windows of the EN when I got back just to boost them up as well. This stuff works soooo easily, gotta get in the routine for monthly useWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    The last thing I did was to clean the tires and wheels. For this I just used the Ech2o solution, the Legacy sponge on the wheel faces and designated mf towel to dry the wheels and swipe the tires dry. As you can see in the pic, 1 week old CarPro Darkside looks brand newWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Now I'm inside, finishing up this post and about to run load of mf towels and hit the shower, A/C is on now as it's getting warm and muggy outside, oh yeah it's pollen season tooWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Dash Pro doesn't appear to be available here, some of their matte paint gear and their microsuede and alcantara cleaner and protector is, but not Dash Pro unfortunately.

    A little outside my usual price range. I thought that might be the price for the bulk size, but there's only one size available. Must be the Australia tax.
