The car didn't look too bad, besides the bugs. I did a Meg's HCW @5:1 right before the trip and then a TAC system Water Glass application ontop of that and that double coat made the wash go VERY easy!
For pre-wash I used a Chemical Guys foam gun and 2 ounces of Honeydew, used the entire tank of solution too and rinsed. For the 2 bucket wash i used CarPro Essence, just a rock solid performer always. My buddy has a nice base of products here, I didn't have to bring anything but I did use P&S Brake Buster on those gloss black wheel inserts and barrels. As you can see in the pic, I need to wipe the tires, I see brown but then again I didn't scrub them, I assumed they'd come clean by spray and wipe....NOPE!
Oh wait....my intake is now installed, BREAKING NEWS

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Cars and Coffee this morning from Winnetka ILL
Been going to this particular C&C for a couple years now and EVERY show makes me say WOW and something I've never seen before, the streak continues! How about that Lotus Elan Sprint, INCREDIBLE car! Next up is that dark blue Jag XJ coupe, that in and of itself is RARE, but when you add in V12 AND manual, well, rare takes on a whole new meaningThese were the 2 standouts for me and no, I didn't miss the Lancia Delta Intergrale EVO 2 next to the Elan, saw that at another one of the host clubs event last Oct, I was even wearing one of my Blipshift shirts with the exact car on it, I have pics of it too!
Enjoy

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Cleaned up and reorganized my stuff from yesterday’s detail. Waiting on towels dry and need to clean pads. Hung my griots polisher rack and put the polishers on it. Also tried my sun joe pressure washer with the flexzilla hose. FlexIlla sure says it works...I hate when it’s wrong. So I have a $70 hose to collect dust now. Same thread but the orings do not seal and water sprays everywhere at both ends. Pretty fruatrating.
