And yes, I do occasionally clean the chassis rails.
The pre-wash rinse didn't remove much of the road film so I decided to pre-soak with NV Snow today, the tray included. This helps soften the grime before another rinse, this time removing roughly 80-90% of the road film. I also used warm water in the foam cannon. If you have ever doubted the effectiveness of snow-foaming, I can tell you that it is most definitely not just for showing off to the neighbors.
Onto something that has been annoying for a while now. On the drivers side sill, there has been a yellowed stain that has stubbornly refused to removed, even with strong APC. This stain is most likely caused by boots or leg as I brush past getting in and out of the car. I have a feeling it might be the effects of wearing sunscreen in the summer time. Either way, some Scholl S20 and the iBrid sorted it out in no time. Again, I'm sure my gardening customers appreciate the effort.
And good news! Our illustrious leaders have decided to extend the locks and chains for another seven days. Not sure if I should be pleased I get another weeks holiday or be terrified that it could crush my employer and therefore have no job to return to?
I love the "stop and go" brush

It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
This morning, before going into work, I noticed 4 sap drips on the windshield. These were more liquidee, so I cleaned the windshield...this inspired me to wipe the ES down with a just given to me product! This product is Adam's Slip and Slide and it's equivalent to Beadmaker and I must say another winner from "Eve's better half"
