After a good dwell time I rinsed it down and used a very old product for drying aid...DPC something or another made as a drying aid, very nice results ️
Once done I moved the EN out to the street, away from the sap spray trees and added some TWHS graphene tire dressing to the Pirelli's...done right, WRONG
Had some bird bomb etching to knock out and for this I used Meg's UC, 3-4 attempts but it came out, NEVER, EVER give up So because I polished out the panel under the rear window, the areas of trunk and wing I need to protect it, so I grabbed Adam's spray graphene, so easy to use
Soooo, you guys know me, what do you think I did next......quote this with your answer

Dried it with Bowden's After Glow when I moved it back in the garage.

The blue she got is very nice, but I sometimes wish she'd gone with white or silver, boring, yes, but much easier to maintain.
The family 2 doors up has just got the new model Qashqai, in black metallic, it hasn't been washed since they got it 2 months ago. They keep to themselves, so I let it go. At least it shouldn't have any swirls.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I've got a couple jobs coming up in 2 weeks and needed to stock up on some products.
While getting some small N decals made the girl who works there, who's a real gearhead, has a 500 hp SRT8 Cherokee w/ a cool smurf blue wrap, needs a good wash and protection done, plus the rims...OMG what a disaster For this, as well as that rare green ZL1 Camaro that I do there, the owners car, will be getting a Bilt-Hamber Korrosol chemical decon, Bilt-Hamber Touchless pre-wash and Bilt-Hamber AutoWash 2BM. The rims will protected with either DIY Detail Quick Beads or Pure:est spray sealant, something I wanted to try based off of their great tire dressing. I'll have 6 hrs to get both done, I think I can do it but the Cherokee rims are an absolute disaster and that ZL1 isn't easy either, oh well, I'll knock it out
The other products like Griot's Garage Trim & Detail coating I was out of and the DIY Detail water spot remover and Bilt-Hamber concentrated quick detailer intrigued me because in the case of DIY Detail water spot remover it's a spray on, rinse off formula and the Bilt-Hamber concentrate because...well, it's Bilt-Hamber ️️
