    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I have a renewed respect for the pro detailers! I also found out wheel cleaners are better suited for wheels - not eyes...
    Foamed with Griots Foaming Surface Wash
    Wheels and tires cleaned with Griots Wheel Cleaner and Optimum POWER CLEAN
    Washed with Gyeon's Bathe
    Iron remover Gyeon Iron Remover
    Clayed with Griots Brilliant Finish Synthetic Clay and Gyeon's Clay Lube
    Polished Blackfire One Step
    Wiped down Gyeon's Prep
    Coated Fictech Crystal
    Toppe Ficteck Gliss

    All products worked well. I was very pleasantly surprised with the Fictech coating and Topper. It was extremely easy to apply and wipe off. Leveling not even a thought. Interior clean as always.
    Wheels Tires and Glass still to tackle.
    Pollen's a #####.

    Zeposhine for soap
    Meguiars d143 on the wheels/tires
    Adam's quick detailer for drying aid
    Meguiars M40 for tire shine

    Thanks, yeah pinstriping (hand painted) ain't for everyone, but I feel it works to bring some life to that polymetal gray color.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    After having about a dozen birds simultaneously crap on my car Friday night, I hit the self wash to rinse off the crap asap. Tonight was a 2 bucket wash on both cars with hyper wash to get the pollen off. The PFM got really heavy drying the car after this compared to a rinseless wash. Probably could have blown the car off some first.

    Wow, that's a lot of crap to deal with. I see you like your Mazdas. Mine is new to me, but it's a nice ride.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Gave the FJ a wash today, the 5 year anniversary of buying it this weekend.

    2B wash with Mother's California Gold, I also put in a capful of Duragloss Rinseless Wash, it seems to increase the lubricity. I also used my favourite Meg's lambswool mitt.

    Dried with Bowden's After Glow

    I may top up the NV Lustre later, but it does seem to be holding up really well.

    I'll probably do the interior tomorrow.
