    That will make an awesome camping truck with the benefit of having his memory ride along with you each trip. Keep those memories alive and pass them along.
    My plan is to keep Dad's Explorer for a very long time and keep it in the family, if for no other reason than the sentimentality.

    Took a few minutes to clean up and protect my rubber seals today. I do it often so just used McKees N 914 as a WW and was too lazy to go back inside to get the 303. I had PERL with me so used that instead to dress.

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

    Was taking the dogs for a walk at lunch when an older neighbor of ours around the corner who sees me detailing every weekend asked if there was anything I knew he could buy to clean up the wheels on his Rav 4. The car looked to be about 4-5yrs old and honestly the wheels looked to have never been cleaned. Ugh. I told him I would stop back and help out. Upon returning he was super happy and talkative, etc. as he's a great old-timer but minds his own most of the time and must not see much house guests.

    Needless to say about 45 minutes later I had his wheels looking like new. I forgot to bring some spray sealant / Hyro2 but I'll clean them up again soon as I'm sure I'll see him and do it then. That's my good deed and detailing adventure so far this week.

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

    Yesterday I washed, clayed and began polishing the SS with plans on installing a paint coating. Well part way through I’m told that Thursday when we’re out of town it will be in my car. Forecast for here and there is for rain...of course!

    Plan B.

    I polished out the SS to near flawless. Dang rock chips. Instead of a coating I grabbed the TW Ice Seal & Shine and covered the SS from top to bottom and stem to stern. Figure Friday night it’ll get a quick rinseless followed by a light polish. That should give me an easy Saturday morning to wipe it down then to coat it. Sunday I will apply their topper and Monday it’s back to the office with the cleanest ride in the parking lot.

    Sorry, just the usual garage pic as it’s been raining all afternoon.

    I’m going back out in a bit to wipe down the interior and especially get that rear door glass. Doh!

    Just finished washing the Soul and topped it with Gold Zirkon to see if it will make the metallic flakes pop a little more. We will see when the sun pops out in the morning.
