    Now granted my car is low so the spray is effective. Might be stretching it to use on a truck.

    The wheels are 5" so there is that limit for low cars.

    I have been using Megs Hyper-wash lately and all I can say is WOW. I feel like an idiot for waiting so long.
    It works beautiful on CQUK3 cars. My new soap for everything.
    I bought it to use as a wheel soap and just kept going.

    It takes so little for bubbles and slippery soap.
    This goes back to ELDO talking about Optimum car wash vs Hyper-wash. Now I see he is totally correct.
    I forgot about that I got a whole gallon around here somewhere.

    Quick WW with N 914. Wheel faces wiped down with N 914. Noticed a few tar spots so I grabbed tarminator and knocked them out. Then went over the panels I removed the tar from with N 914 and gave them a quick spritz with Optimum Car Wax.

    Interior got a quick wipe down with McKees Fast Interior Detailer.

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

    Switched over to Ultima WW+ from WG Uber and it worked very well on my first wash. I loved the Uber but I wanted something that had more of a wax booster built in especially for winter when I don’t have time for a spray wax/sealant after. It was barely 40 this morning and cloudy, but it worked very well and better than Uber in colder temps.

    It hasn’t been a bad winter yet but there’s always a ton of salt thrown down whenever there’s a hint of snow but the Collinte 476 is holding up with minimal maintenance washing.

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

    About 46 degrees here in SE Michigan and the car was fairly dirty so it got a wash.

    Brake Buster on the wheels wheel wells and tires. Saw someone mention they did it at 9•1 so I gave it a shot. Worked well on my maintained car.

    Foamed the car with Honey Dew Snow Foam (trying to get rid of it) rinsed with the Hydro shot and 1 bucket wash with multiple mitts using Carpro Reset. Rinsed with Hydroshot. Blew off the car and yesterday I mixed up a batch of UBER rinseless at QD strength because I haven't used it in a while. That was my drying aid.

    Wiped down the jams and under the hood real quick and that was it. Tires aren't dressed now. Might go out later and throw some PERL on them.

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

    One of my customers gave me some Griots wheel cleaner for Christmas. I usually just use some APC on the wheels and have it over with. Today I realized I was doing a half a$$ed job all that time. I used the Griots wheel cleaner with a wheel wooly and I couldn’t believe the difference. It is a great product and a great way to complete the detail process of your vehicle. I can actually read the wheel weights.

    It hit 65 degrees here today. Insane for the middle of January!

    Took advantage and washed the Ram (Hyperwash), topped off with Optimum spray wax, and hit the trim with another coat of McKee's Trim Restore.

    Cleaned the windows inside with my Zap cloth, and wiped the interior plastics with Griot's interior cleaner.


    Awesome spring-like day, and it feels GREAT to have a clean truck again.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Freaky weather in PA today. 65 degrees!! Gave the truck a much needed bath and interior cleaning. Of course they are calling for rain tonight. Better than snow.

    How good is Hyperwash? I'm a reset man. I also will use Optimum Car Soap from time to time too. I've considered buying a gallon of Hyperwash on numerous occasions.
