    Your wash technique must be top notch. I wash my Honda with soft paint a lot more frequently than the Audi and in over 9 years of ownership it has no swirls or marring as well.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    So how hard or soft was this BMW’s paint?

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

    Got a little car wash therapy in today. Between the colder temps and me being sick (more me being sick) I haven't been able to wash the car.

    Last Monday we got 9-10 inches of snow and it hadn't been washed for a few days before that. Now the day after the snow storm I did go to the pay and spray and I used a pre treat and blasted off some of the heavy salt/dirt. Anyways I'm rambling.

    So wheels wells and tires were foamed up with Brake Buster and scrubbed with various brushes. Car got a thorough rinse before being washed with Reset and rinsed again. Blow dried and then followed up with BSD diluted. Tires dressed with PERL. Jams and engine bay wiped down with BSD also. Glass received a final touch of some Megs X Wax.

    Gave the interior a bit of love too. Pulled out my drivers rubber floor mat (no one else has been in the car recently) and cleaned that up. Did a quick vacuum and then wiped down the interior with McKees 37 fast interior detailer. We'll see how long it stays clean. It's pretty wet out right now with the 43 degree temps and sun melting everything.

    Only thing I could do today (39 degrees, windy, and misting/raining) was watch my 476s bead like crazy.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

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

    Not just today, but today I finished a coating job I had been working on for a friend with a brand new “1320” Dodge Challenger. The car will be stored for the winter so I was able to take my time with it over the past few weeks.

    About 25 hours total (I work at my own pace). Washed, chemical and mechanical decon, polished with Sonax 04-06, jeweled with Renny Doyle Double Black Envy Jeweling Polish, coated with CQUK 3.0 (2 coats), topped with Gliss, coated trim with Polish Angel Black Bond, coated windshield and wheels with McKee’s 37 coatings, dressed tires... I think he’ll be glad he trusted me What did you do today, in regards to detailing?.
