Then use your carpet extractor to pull the additional dirt out of the seats. Last do one final steam with APC and extraction....that's it.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
The car was birdbombed while it sat at work today, so even though it was N914'd last night it's getting a WW tonight, think I'm going to try Revive made up as a WW for the FNW. I had a great experience with it as a RW so we'll see how it works as a WW, stay "tuned"

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
So I remembered I had a gallon of clean, RW mix saved from my previous wash so I changed it up and did another RW/GD method tonight. The car actually had 7 bird bombs on it, about the size of my thumbnail, I noticed more when I stopped at Discount Tire to top off the air in my tires after work (yes, I pay attention to those small details as well, especially when it gets colder) I'm really liking this Revive RW/WW.
The tires will get a fresh coat of "something" tomorrow and I'm going to apply some Beadmaker, it's been about 2 weeks for that, even though I applied Armor last weekend, LOL, need my fix of Beadmaker

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Well I ordered some products this morning (I know, some of you wanna tighten up the straight jacket, LOL). So I watched Forensic Detailings newest video this morning, a MUST WATCH if I do say so myself, and per THAT video I decided to use my AutoGeek gift certificate on it, as well as an additional product, I mean AG has a 20% sale right now too.
I bought, per John's review, Sonax Brillant Shine Detailer. I know people talk about it alot here but after watching his review I pulled the trigger. While in the Sonax store I also bought Sonax Spray + Seal, i mean can you really have too many spray on, hose off products....don't answer that
Looking forward to getting these products in and using them at some point. I've got a number of products coming in over the next couple weeks/days, namely Auto Fanatic wheel cleaner, pre-ordered the Gyeon tire cleaner and Tire Express and now these 2 Sonax products. Winter is half over, maintaining winter stock and getting ready for spring/summer. All this buying keeps my spirits up during the gray and cold season

Looks great from afar, but the paint is hammered:

Rupes 15 MkII with Meguairs 5" Microfiber Cutting Pad
Wolfgang Uber Compound
Menzerna FG4000 (Glad I still had this laying around!)
CarPro Essence
Here is my test section on the door after the above:
I was getting some bad haze after Wolfgang Uber Compoud, which made me realize I needed atleast a 2-step correction to finish this.

50/50: You can still see some deeper scratches but a big improvement
Will get some after shots in just a bit, still cleaning it up a bit.
Hopefully the dog didn't leave his DNA on the wheel.

Applied a coat of Beadmaker and then applied 2x's Gyeon Q2 Tire. Now it sits till Monday, hopefully the road is dry and they don't lay down an inch of salt to make the roads safe from todays "dusting"
