Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Cleaned out the Escape after driving down to the shore as well as transporting the dog to boarding and back.
I need to detail the outside and apply some protection soon... definitely before the weather starts to turn cold.
I have some new products I need to try out as well.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Stopped at the coinop on the way home from work yesterday and sprayed off a weeks worth of pollen and dust.
TWSS still beading nicely!
Just wiped he down with some Ech2o mixed to detail spray mix and am heading over to our local Ford dealer for their yearly car show.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
After a great BBQ lunch I decided to coat my wife's tires, but you guys know how that goes, LOL. She ran it through a touch-free yesterday after I raised holy hell about how it's always dirty, so it was fairly clean but based off of all the ranting i decided to do a DEEP CLEAN
I started with the tires and wheels. Started with Griot's Garage foaming tire cleaner and P&S Brake Buster on the rims. Scrubbed the tires with a short brissel brush, Mother's wheel brush for the wheel faces and the Speed Master, I repeated this process twice, tires were "clean", more on this later.
I then sprayed lemon scented IronX over the entire car and let it dwell while I got the IK Foam 9 primed up. I added 3 ounces of Turtle Wax Ice snow foam and proceeded to empty the entire 1.3 gallons of cleaning solution on the car. At this point I could see some bleeding out and let the snow foam continue to dwell along with the IronX, then rinsed it all down. Now it was time for the NEXT STEP!
That next step was Sonax Seal and Shine, I've had this for quite some time so I wanted to use. I sprayed this all over the entire car, including the rims. I've used these products before and once you spray them on the wet surface the water runs away but this product didn't so that the same way. I had enough left over so I could treat the wheels on my own car sometime this week and once I rinsed it down I could see the beading, almost invisible due to how tight it was! Once I dried the car with the Sucker and the Griot's Garage waffle weave towel I noticed how damn good looking the paint was, it's VERY NOTICEABLE, very impressed here Sonax
Now for the "cherry on the cake", coating the tires. Remember earlier I put "clean" in italics, check this out. I ordered a quart of mineral spirits per a suggestion in the OPT tire coating thread and wiped down the first "clean" tire. Upon the first swipe I could see darkness on my mf towel, amazing so I did another swipe, more darkness but not as much, so I did 2x's the swipe on each tire, now, time for coating.
I applied 2x's OPT tire coating, going around each tire and making sure I rubbed it in real good and once I was done with the last tire I went around and it did it again, thus the double coat. I should mention that the first tire coated was BONE DRY when I went in for that 2nd coat, amazing product here.
Now the paint work AND tires are coated and will endure weeks of abuse inbetween cleanings but maybe my wife can find the touch-free every other weeks, i believe in miracles....do you

Hey Roger, I just noticed you two have matching colored vehicles. How sweet! What a great husband you are.
Clue #2: panoramic sunroof
2017 Phantom Black Metallic Chevy SS, automatic, skylight, plus unused wheel in the boot.

Hers is actually more purple, especially inperson but there's no panoramic sunroof, ours is the SE, not the SEL. She needs to get after that interior though, it's a struggle
