Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
This was from last weekend, but my Explorer got a wash and quick wax.
I applied some paste wax to the wheels as well.
I hit the hood with a white pad and Ultimate polish just to see if I could make it any better.
I think I got some set in water spots out, but man that metallic silver paint is hard to see defects (swirls/scratches). That's good and bad.

I also tried Griots Garage Tire Shine. Holy Gloss Batman! It is glossy, perhaps too glossy for me, so I will be wiping it down before I drive it again.
Happy Father's Day to all of the Fathers!

Thought you might like this, picked it up today for my collection. 
Oh, and to keep it on topic, I cleaned my exterior glass using some home mixed glass cleaner, mixed about 10% washer additive with distilled water, seems to work better than the store bought stuff.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
It's way too hot to do any detailing down here right now unless you have an air conditioned garage. And that temp doesn't begin to address the Florida humidity.

Not quite Florida bad, but it has been high 80's here with no break in sight. I have never seen lawns crispy in June as long as I have lived here on LI. (50 years). 
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

I guess you haven't gotten the Saharan dust storm yet, it arrived in Houston this morning and should stick around for a day or two, I thought I saw the forecast to hit florida in the next day or two. Visibility in Houston is about 2-3 miles!

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Did this to my wife's CX9....but only to the hood.
24/7 outdoor life is rough.
Only white pad and UP. I didnt want to get into a full detail.
Before. This was after a wash, clay and just some quick wax.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Have a friend driving from Ohio to California and back over two weeks so I Polished the front end and fenders and then wrapped it in blue tape for him. Its not a brand new van but newer and in really good shape. This should help.
Im OCD so i also treated the tape with some Optimum Optiseal so it sheds water. We gave it a good test and he just laughed.
I also hit the windshield with Griot's fine glass polish then coated it. Tested it out with a hose and he was amazed. Super smooth wipers and water just rolls off cleanly.
Griswalds are on thier way
