What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Quick time line today...left Maryville TN @8 a.m. EST and drove home to Elk Grove Village and arrived @6:30 p.m. CST. Spent some time with our little one, she missed her Daddy

What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Put her to bed @8:30 p.m. and headed down to the garage to clean up the ES after the almost 600 mile drive home. I finished up @11:15 p.m.

I started with some beta testing of tire/wheel cleaner, scrubbed the tires with a short brissel brush and the Speed Master for the barrels, Mothers wheel brush for the spokes. I then pre-washed using AutoBrite Magifoam (finished the bottle) and let it dwell and rinsed off. I then sprayed down the tires and wheels again but used Brake Buster and let it dwell while I did a 2BM. For the 2BM I used Gyeon Bathe and loved it...again!! Rinsed it down and while wet, to give the finish an additional boost I used 303 Touchless sealant on the car and wheels, rinsed down and MAN THE BEADING!!! Used the Master Blaster to dry the car and crevices, tires and wheels too. I finished using some mineral spirits on the tires, wiped them clean and once dry I applied a coat of 303 Tire Balm.

I then moved to the interior and used some beta testing leather cleaner and now waiting for it to dry so I can finish with the other beta testing product, a leather conditioner for the seats. I forgot to mention that I first started by removing the mats and vacuuming out the interior, sorry it's getting close to bed time, been a long day

Here's the pic, like it never even went anywhere!

Didnt have a pic after i cleaned it but here it is looking all good with its wide stance when i took kids out for ice cream this evening. On side note the wheel spacers were best investment yet besides my new exhaust setup i had done yesterday.

I had a borla pro xs muffler and then did a resonator delete too. But my new setup is stock manifolds, cats and no muffler at all or resonator. Its louder but still great sound. It has the 5.3 v8. I mainly had the borla on there because i wanted it louder but my wife would still occasionally drive it. Now she has 2 cars and its all mine so i wanted more.

No dont have an intake. Stock air box on these things flow pretty good and CAI just winds up being more for sound. I need to get the dod(or newer terms afm) turned off. Mine doesnt burn any oil even at 152,000 miles but the darn cylinder deactivation will eventually cause issues. But i stay on top of oil changes which is really what causes issues. Because of way it shuts off cylinders if your slack on oil changes you will have a lifter failure.

Two bucket wash with Pinnacle body works shampoo today for the first time, soap is real slippery and smells good!

Also, washed/scrubbed/beat the tires FOUR times with Optimum Power Clean getting them ready for the Optimum tire coating! I also used GG Tire Cleaner as well but it didn't make a dent on the Blackfire Tire and Trim Sealant! I think they're ready, just letting the tires dry and then off to coat them tonight or in the morning.

Did a Wolfgang waterless wash on the Sportage. Then had to do a couple of quick passes on the hood and most of the passenger side with the DA using a Meguiars yellow foam pad and D166 due to water sprinkler spots. Followed up with some Beadmaker. My Impreza had a waterless 2 days ago along with Beadmaker.

The Beadmaker really makes the black look even more ridiculous.
