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

    Washed the RS and the Alfa today...
    Tomorrow I plan on trying some new products out.

    Used Sonax Alcantara Cleaner on the seats... stuff works really well. I didn’t have any stains on them but it seemed to fluff the fibers up nicely after using it

    Washed 400 miles of dust and bugs off of the Fusion at a spray booth here in Sturgeon Bay, Wi while visiting my parents for a few days.
    TWSS still beading nicely and I will say that it was a pretty easy time getting all of the bugs off.

    I noticed the same thing when cleaning the bugs off of the front of the SS. I also noticed the rain had rinsed the bugs off the front of the wife’s Beast.

    It may be the water hardness at my place and wonder if this happens to others or not based on that?
    Distilled if I’m going to keep it around for awhile. Tap water if I’m going to use it for a rinseless wash the same day..

    ^^This^^

    Most good RW products have water-softening properties, but left to dwell (fight) the minerals and impurities in tap water, they eventually lose over time.

    At least in my experiences with them.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

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

    Thanks for the response, kind of what I figured, but thought I’d ask. I can generally get a few days out of my tap water RW but get to a week and it’s no good. As far as any WW or detail sprays etc I will use distilled.

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

    AGO ran a BlackFire sale last week so I bought some of their Waterless Wash. Yesterday I had a chance to try it out and I really didn't enjoy it at all. For a WW, the BF is really streaky. I was using it in the early morning, cool paint and 80% shade. It takes twice as many towels to use as any other I've tried to get it buffed off (it's worse than a bad quick detailer, IMHO) because of how hard it is to remove. The 32oz bottle is really clunky to use-- it's heavy and the spray head is undersized for it, so it's hard to hold and I dropped it several times. The WW is expensive compared to, well, every other WW which is why it took a good sale to get me to try it. It cleaned OK but certainly not in my top 5. I stopped using it halfway through the SUV and switched to 3D Waterless which works perfectly fine. I think I'll probably use it as a pre-rinse from now on.

    It’s foam Friday. This is the first time using the canopy this year.
