Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Detailed the engine bay in my 2006 Mazda MX5 GT. It’s been a garage queen most of it’s life so it wasn’t too bad.

and rear:
GM did cheap out on some real stupid s***. Sunroof has one touch open. To close it you have to hold the button. No USB or power port for the rear seat passengers. All four windows are one touch down, but the rears you have to hold the button to bring back up...first world problems, eh?
Speaking of the SS, it has been a couple weeks since it got corrected then driven several hundred miles in the country and on my daily commute. It’s been rained on, bird s*** on, rained on, farm field dusted then rained on and rained on again. Out came the wash plus wheel buckets, N 914, small iK sprayer, ONR sponge and MF towels aplenty.
Wheels got cleaned with Griot’s Foaming Prep Wash, MF wash mitt and Adam’s Turbo Stick. The wheels were embarrassingly dirty, well at least in my eyes.
Foamed:
Cleaned and rinsed:
That GTecniq C5 sure beads up well.
Vehicle was pre-rinsed panel by panel then washed with McKee’s N 914 using the forgotten but recently found ONR sponge. Beading before and after washing is outstanding. TW S&S is so far making me a happy man.

Even my Hyundai has one touch open AND close for its sunroof, LOL but only 1 touch up/down for the d/s window, LOL. What year do you think that white SS could be then? Maybe they loaded up the "last batches" with the good stuff

The SS in the pic doesn’t have the stupid hood “vents” which makes it a 14 or 15, plus it has the good wheels which also make it a 14 or 15.

Nope. The 14-15s came with nice polished forged Alcoa wheels...not sure what dung heap they found the 16-17 wheels in.
Now this is a NICE wheel I’d be proud to sport on my SS as is or polished:

There's a beautiful Jungle Green SS I've seen a couple of times near me. Such a great color.
