Looks really good, it’s crazy hard to chase perfection on a daily driver. Let alone a 9 year old daily in the rust belt.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I decided to do a touchless wash here at home, it's been a while, so let's get to it️
I started out foaming the entire EN w/ a mix of 3 oz Koch Chemie GsF and 2 oz of TWHS Slick and Slide in my Griot's Garage foam gun. I emptied the bottle and let it dwell, shady and cool this morning. I then moved onto the tires and wheels.
For the tires and wheels I used 3D yellow tire and wheel cleaner, wanted to see what this stuff was all about and I must say it's a solid product. I've been using it from time to time as a pre-treatment before going into the touch-free wash and thought it did a good job but when using the brushes on dirty barrels it proved itself as a worthy product IMO. After scrubbing the rims completely clean I sprayed some Meg's HCW @3:1, let dwell and rinsed away, onto the next step
I wanted to add some protection so I used Adam's RTU Seal 02, basically a spray on, rinse off product but I diluted it a bit in my Griot's Garage foam gun. I sprayed it on, emptied the bottle, rinsed away and then used free flowing water to flood out the channels. What's next...
Because I diluted it I felt something "hands on" needed to be used and for this I reached for an old pro on my shelf...TW ICE spray wax. I've got about 1/3 of the bottle left and I really forgot how REWARDING this product was to use and the G L O S S it left behind, my God
I finished up by sprayed some Adam's In and Out spray in the engine bay after a cleaning w/N914. It looks factory fresh, great product as it's NOT messy
Now the EN sits clean and sealed and a load of mf towels are running in the washer right now, Rags to Riches being used this time around

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I did an environmentally responsible rinseless wash on both vehicles. Then I used the water from both buckets to water the flowers.
The truck got a treatment of Griots 3 in 1 and the Explorer got a treatment of Beadmaker.

Dusted off for the local Corvette Club's member party. Sadly I’m only on my second tank of gas this year. I’ve owned it for 31 years.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Buick was the guinny pig for my first time with carpro descale, and also reset.
Ive felt contaminants.. mainly on the roof in the past while i would do hand washes. Iron remover would not touch it. So opted to give descale a try.
Car was pretty dirty, so ran a pinch of descale through the foam cannon and let dwell, and rinsed.
Then bucket washed with descale. Could feel the contaiminants were no longer present.
Followed up with bucket wash of reset.
Gyeon cure for drying aide. Megs 40 on the tires.
No joke, the surface looks and feels like the day i installed can coat evo. I will now always have descale on the shelf for the quarterly decons.
Reset will now also be a regular product for me from now on.

6AM Maintenance wash on the truck. Finished with wet wax. After an ugly 48.5-hour week, I enjoyed the quiet time.
