What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

[Klasse Act]

I took out all 4 of my carpeted floor mats to clean them. Brought them upstairs and prepared the Bissel Little Green Machine. I added Alien Kleen into the wash container and added hot water and got after it. I did the d/s front mat first, ofcourse and it was really dirty! I then did the p/s front and the by then the tank that catches the dirty water was almost full...and black! I got about halfway done with one of the rears and had to empty the tank, water was black!! I finished the last mat, emptied the tank and then rinsed it out. I placed all the mats back in the car except the d/s one where it's under our ceiling fan in the living room drying completely out.

I don't remember when the last cleaning was, probably somewhere around late spring/early summer but it was looooong over due, Alien Kleen, even @3:1 and then topped off with water, really did the job but I'm not surprised, been using it for 7 years now

Cleaned up the wheels that im planning on putting on my wifes sienna. Was off work today as was first day of school took my oldest daughter to school and decided to take the whole day lol

Here are the wheels. Not bad cleanup considering i paid $100 and came with lugnuts.



Slowly trying to fix this thing up. Its got 176,000 on it and paint is kinda worn out but i still wash and wax it anyways. This is what wheels are going on come spring. I did also wash this the other day and used Meguairs ceramic wax spray and water beading is impressive.

So this morning on the way to work @7 a.m. it looked like 8 p.m and was raining hard, thunder and LOTS of lightning...then it stopped right before I went into work AND then the sun came out later, LOL. The car actually looked good, had to look hard for the remenence of the rain/dirt, it was easier to see on the top of the rear bumper. I knew I had the time for a wash but wanted to do something different...a RW using the soaking towels method...BUT which product Once again I wanted something different and I reached for Turtle Wax wash and wax rinseless wash! Long before their most recent renaissance TW was making great products like this as well as Endura tire coating. I have 2 more bottles of this and about 16 ounces of Endursnce in a bottle as well as 1 unopened box of it, LOL

For this wash I had about 4.5 gallons of water so I went with 9 ounces of product, 1 extra ounce than what the directions say for 4 gallons, no problem. I dropped in 5 edgeless, plush mf towels and dunked my 1000 ML Kwazzer into the solution and got after it. It was alot of fun doing this, a method which was basically my go to before I bought my Worx hydroshot because WW/RW was my only way to wash unless I hit a Touchless carwash. It did a great job and smelled great in the process, car looks great.

Before I did the TW wash and wax RW I first did the wells, tires/wheels. The wells and tires were treated to 303 tire and rubber cleaner and left to soak. I then did one tire/wheel at a time with Brake Buster and used my assortment of brushes to scrub away all the mess from this mornings drive to work in the storm. Once I rinsed down everything I sprayed the Meg's HCW on each wheel and let it sit for about 5 minutes and rinsed away. I have this product and will use it like this whenever I feel like it as I have alot of it, especially when diluting it @4:1, why not! I dried everthing down and ofcoarse the tires are still looking great with the OPT tire coating on there. It doesn't seem to matter if I let stuff dwell or scrub, they look the same when I dry them, really wondering how long it's going to last, I mean I'm going to the Dragon in 46 days, will I need to re-apply before then...or will I FEEL LIKE re-applying it, LOL.

Here's a shot of the tires after drying them and then washing the car and me typing up this long winded... urrrr, long fingered diatribe

Roger, I still have an unopened bottle of TW RFWW in my basement with your name on it.

I also have unopened bottles of ONR, ONRWW, McKee’s N914, McKee’s Rinse Free Wash & Wax, CarPro Echo and Adam’s Rinseless. I think I have a problem...
