Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Took a road trip Sunday. So washed after we got back. Afternoon Sun. Yuck. But got it done. Hopefully looking to do a proper spring detail at the end of the month. 4 days off. I will see how things go. Really would love to throw a BORLA cat back exhaust on it! Just debating at 56,000 miles if it's worth it? Should have done it from the first couple months of ownership.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
So the EN sat all day Sunday and it did rain at some point but more importantly there's a tree that's dropping these "catapillar looking pollen bombs", plus seedlings and helicopters. I saw staining on the paint from these but I put my faith in DIY Detail Quick Beads I laid down on Saturday.
Once off of work, 11 hr day, I headed straight to the touch-free wash. I actually sprayed the entire EN down with N914 made up as a WW to help break things down while I squeege'd the windows (gotta do this with touch-free washes) I then ran the EN through the wash and dried it afterwards.
Once home I did some drying, shook out the drivers mat and sprayed 3D Mango interior scent inside before heading in the house to eat dinner.
Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80, I'll probably wash it again...why not

Do it!!! You know you want to. And it'll be nagging in your head until you do. So may as well do it now anyway.
I actually would (personal opinions) only choose between Borla, Magnaflow, or Mallett (made by Kooks I believe??) for one of these trucks. Corsa is a top brand, but the sound is too much on that engine. The 3 mentioned are as bassy as that engine will get soundwise.
Post how you like it on it

The touch-free washes NEVER remove that light film that the wiper doesn't touch, so I do that and ALL of them to ensure the windows are clean
