    Anyway, hope you all are doing great!

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

    I decided to do a wash on the car this evening. I filled up the IK Foam 9 after putting in 2 ounces of CG's Gloss Workz and foamed the car down, tires, wheels and wells too. After letting it dwell for a bit I rinsed it off with the Worx hydroshot and dried with my Luxury Microfiber towel called The Sucker. When drying the tires and wheels I noticed that the tires still looked great, thank youWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Now the car is ready for 2 fresh days in a row What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Welcome to the club! Absolutely a blast. Just wish I would have gotten a manual. Have fun and slow down....

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Did a quick correction on my mother in law’s new Sportage. Black Cherry is a beautiful color, but black combined with soft Kia paint is going to be a pain. Only did the drivers door due to time/cold, but one pass using a LC white foam pad on speed 4 with some HD Speed definitely did the trick. They must have run it through the car wash before we picked it up since the whole car looks like this with some deeper ones and holograms on the corners. At least it will be easy to correct once I get a chance.

    (Tried it with a Griots orange foam pad first but it left marring. This paint is soft. Lol) Sorry for the craptastic pictures. I was in a hurry so I didn’t take out the swirlfinder and just used the camera light and sun.

    Took the Q through a touchless wash then gave it a waterless wash in the garage last night. Final wipe down included using Bead Maker as a drying aid. I love the super slick feel it leaves on the car. No "new" pics as it's the same nearly every time. Perhaps I should back it in and take a pic

    Hope you don’t mind but I snuck in your garage, backed your car out and backed it back in. Here’s my pic as proof.
