Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Took my lunch hour to clean the cushion covers off our family room couch. Soaked them in All Free and some APC for 10 minutes, agitated them, then laid them out and hit them with a 25:1 mix of water/folex using the Tornador OMG it was super each and fast and the machine did all the work.
Rinsed them on the patio table outside then spun them in the washer. Now heading back to work and they are in the drier on low heat for 2 min/air fluff for 10 and will repeat if necessary. No 50/50 or other pics but I may end up getting some as the bottom cushions are for another day. This weekend I'll pull the air hose in through the garage and hit the couch/frame itself with the Velocity Vac Extractor. I just love that it uses so little liquid and yet gets the job done so nicely.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
So my new rims came in a day early, so I moved my scheduled day off up to today and got them installed. I also had my stock rims wrapped with brand new Blizzak WS90's and are being stored at Discount Tire till Halloween or later depending on the weather for the upcoming winter driving season.
Anywho the new wheels are Konig Oversteers, 18 x 8 w/+45mm offset and they fit perfectly! I had the idea to see if the OEM centercap would fit and it did and I think it's a great touch. This time next year my OEM tires will be swapped out for some Conti Extreme Contact Sports one size bigger, 235/40/18 to take advantage of the 8" width. These wheels should help in handling as they're a little lighter but with more width and a tad more offset (+50mm stock vs. +45mm aftermarket) and we'll see in just 25 more days when I make my yearly trip to the Tail of the Dragon, now in its 16th year
So I had to get gas so you can see them outside and then I got down in the Garage and wash it as the roads closer to the Discount Tire were a little damp and besides I had to see what the car looks like with it's new look as fresh s possible. I sprayed Brake Buster on the tires and yes, the wheels too, fresh is fresh and besides I wanted to see how much easier these are to clean and they are MUCH, MUCH easier!! After rinsing the tires and wheels down I busted out the IK Foam 9 with 2.5 ounces of TW Snow Foam in it, topped off with water and got after it and this stuff foams like crazy, even in the IK Foam 9 pumped up to 75 psi. I foamed the entire car, wheelwells and even the tires and wheels again, let dwell and rinsed down with the Worx hydroshot. Once I was done I reached for the 303 Touchless Sealant to protect the new wheels. I plan on coating them when they come off so didn't wanna put anything too permanent on there but before I go down to the Dragon I will spray on some Sonax Rim Shield because the wheels get worked on that trip down to the Dragon
Dried the car off with the Sucker and Sucker Jr and now I'm done...for now because later I'm coming back down to add a light coat of OPT tire coating, like I said, FRESH is FRESH
Thank you for looking and what do you think of the new rims

Great choice, Rog. They look awesome on the car.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Wheels look good. For some reason that design makes them look smaller than stock though.
