I bought four paving stones today. I think my wife thought it was for the garden. :-)
This is a little better for getting the tires clean all the way around.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
After traveling to Michigan for a bowling tourny my son was a part of and returning home in some rain and nasty weather I cleaned my daily inside and out to remove the reminants of what looked like a family living out of my car for 3 days Mother nature took her toll on the outside too.
As part of it, I stripped and re-polished the windshield and applied a fresh layer of window treatment. It's been about 8-10 months and time. Normally I use McKee's 37 glass coating but this time I stepped down to another good stand by, Rust Oleum's Never Wet for Glass. Now she's back to shedding water and the wipers are moving smoothly too.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Tip of the cap to you having your son into bowling! I was back in the D 2 weeks ago and noticed 2 bowling alleys that I almost lived in growing up were closed, one called Regal Lanes, down the road from the GM Tech Center in Warren MI, had a message on the marque....THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. Reading and seeing this really hit me, another piece of my past growing up in the D has vanished.

What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
This weekend I was faced with the dilemma of not washing my daily at all this week vs. washing it in direct sun. I have some McKees 37 Sio2 Auto Wash that I haven't really used and remembered this statement on their web site:
- Stop worrying about water spots! Instead of washing your vehicle one panel at a time and then rinsing it off, wash the ENTIRE vehicle using Sio2 Auto Wash and THEN perform your last and final rinse. This is made possible thanks to the non-alkaline, pH-balanced formula. Water, not auto wash, creates water spots! WARNING! Don't try this with any other auto wash except McKee's 37 Sio2 Auto Wash!
I decided to give it a try: I rinsed the vehicle thoroughly and then applied the Sio2 auto wash with a foam gun (my no-bucket method; I couldn't care less about foam pre-wash). I did what McKees say, I left it on there in the midday sun and I could see it baking onto the paint while I worked around the vehicle. When I went to rinse-- to my relief-- the soap scum rinsed away just fine and left no residue at all. That surprised me and I was really happy with the results.
I don't know if all pH-neutral soaps work like this in real life but this good experience opens up a nice option for me.
Grabbed a photo after we got home later. Though it has nothing to do with it, I liked it.

Yeah as a bowler myself it hurts my soul seeing all these bowling centers closing. Regal just recently closed. Used to bowl there years ago but haven't in a while. They as well as many other bowling centers have quit focusing on bowling. Too worried about doing escape rooms and other silliness instead of actually pouring money into the actual bowling equipment.

I was never a huge fan of Regal but ironically I shot my one and only sanctioned 300 there. Very last pair to the right.
