We used his mom’s Explorer as the training vehicles and for his first wash with a pressure washer he did all right for a 13 year old.
Great story!

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I gotta start the week with a clean car and let my coworkers know who owns the parking lot but I didn’t feel like doing a full wash. Had some Descale in my foam cannon so I foamed the Accord and gave it a good rinse and dried with the Ego 765. Looks like I spent a good hour washing it instead of 15 minutes. Coatings really are a cheat code.

I ended up using the left over on the wheelwells and engine bay, the remaining went into my wheel bucket
Not sure when I'll use Absolute again but I'd like to congratulate P&S on making such a great RW first time out, continued success
I posted a pic of my tire & wheel to show how the Mr. Cartoon Tire Coat is holding up, it's either been driven in the rain and/or washed every day since, can't say enough about this product

Finally used Gyeon Eco Wash today. Nice and easy. Very slick... I actually had a second bucket with Idrosave as well and found both of them just as easy. I do think some staining happens with Idrosave but otherwise, no issue with it inside a garage.
If Idrosave stains and it is a cause for concern, I suppose I might use it less but if staining isn't of any concern, I have no reason to not finish out my jug of it. I did soak the previous Idrosave sponge in KC GS this weekend but it didn't take away any staining. The sponge was also pretty new so it's always possible it just doesn't look new any longer.
I went around and added Gyeon Ceramic Detailer after I was done. Overkill I know but nice and clean/shiny now. Ready to go back to the rain (when did rain become such a thing in Colorado )
I have the KC RW coming this week as well. I'm sure I'll go after some ADS Hero once restocked. Will be interesting to see what turns out to be the easiest/favorite.

Yeah.
I recently installed Wagner OEx pads and they seem to dust a lot.
Braking is good though, so a tradeoff.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
It's 10pm and I couldn't find anything I wanted to watch on the idiot box, I know , first world problem, so I gave the Qashqai's interior a wipe down with TWHS Inside Job, also cleaned the windshield inside and out with Krystal Klear Bubble Gum Blitz, used the Invisible Glass Clean and Reach tool for the inside, I bought it at least 15 years ago and still haven't found anything better for cleaning inside a normal windshield, excluding the FJ of course, it's too vertical for it to work properly.
