It was what was only polymer based I had loaded in a pump sprayer.

I prefer gels. For some reason it feels like the tire gels just apply better and last longer. However, do listen to CarPro with Darkside when it is suggested to use very little. I also highly recommend leveling it later (like 24hrs later if possible to not drive). I was sling city after over applying!

Didn’t love glass cleaner at first. But I like it after a rinsless. It’s not a strong glass cleaner so rinsless removes bulk of dirt and easy to do while washing car.
Then use there glass cleaner and I seem to get 3+ weeks of beading. Glass also looked better to me which is weird. I want to say it was all in my head but it did look better to me.

Ahhh, I see
Well Darkside is a bit thicker and because of that, in theory, should last longer. I have it on my g/f's Cruze where it's washed once a week and I refuse to top it like I do my own car, so it's a great test bed for Darkside

Rainy day in MN. Watching the water pattern bubble and run off the car is the most excitement you’ll find here.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Got a good wash in. Took the truck on to the beach Saturday and spent today cleaning it.
Presoak with BH Touchless in Marolex Sprayer then followed up with Descale. Knockout combination. Wet Coat was going strong too. I didn't reapply Wet Coat as there was no need.

From what I've been gathering Klasse is you have all the big tire dressing lines. I have been trying to get a straight answer on Darkside. Is it your favorite? I like all the above on tire dressings with the exception of dull or matte or short life.

I did a quick underhood wipe down with Sonax Ceramic Detailer. I’ll use it up as it doesn’t play well with my FK1000p on the bodywork.
