    I started by using Griot's Garage wheel cleaner and 3 brushes to get them clean, inside and out. Next was the pre-wash using the IK Foam Pro 12 filled with Veros maintenance wash w/ a little bit of Bilt-Hamber Touchless for good measure. 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 resultsWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    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, WRONGWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    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 upWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing? 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 useWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Not perfect, obviously, but good enough. Oh, and opted to cover alternator and battery. Wiped battery down by hand prior to misting with Motorplast.

    How did you like Motorplast?

    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 disasterWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing? 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 outWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

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