    The local discount auto chain had a 30% off sale today, so I went in for a look, I got some of my favourite wheel cleaner, Bowden's Own Wheely Clean, and I was looking for something to put on the exterior trim on the FJ, I thought I'd try some Autoglym Bumper & Trim Gel. I've only used it on the Qashqai so far, very easy to use, love the smell. We'll have to see how long it lasts. What did you do today, in regards to detailing?-psx_20210403_133422-jpg

    I finally filled up some Bettix bottles as filling bottles from gallon plus jugs isn’t fun and takes too much time. I guess I need to print some labels now to make things “professional” even though I’m a hobbyist.

    I picked up a jug of Meguiar's D155 Last Touch at the discount chain starting with R for 35% off. Made it a very economical purchase.

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

    I flew to Detroit for Easter. My 90ish godmother is "struggling" so the car is going back to the dealer as the lease is up later This month. I actually took it to a car wash and paid for my first car wash in years. The BF One Step is still beading water from my July 4th application. There is a can of Amour All Spray foam tire cleaner here so I applied that to the tires. It's now ready to turn into the dealership Monday morning on the way to the airport.

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

    Brought my 3 season tires/wheels up from the basement and brought them outside for prep. First I removed all the valve stem caps because they come up mismatching for some reason. Then I applied a 2nd coat (first one applied last fall) of 303 graphene spray coating to the wheel faces and barrels. While that cured I applied Griot's Garage rubber prep to the front and back sidewalls. Then I removed the 303 graphene from the rims and then applied OPT tire coating to the backside of the tires (gotta find some use for itWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?) I shouldn't say this because maybe it will work on the next set of tires because my Blizzaks and OEM tires just turn that goldish/tan color and that's just unacceptable. Putting it on the back sidewall is a virgin surface, let's see how it goesWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I then removed the WeatherTech floorliners and vac'd out my interior with my new Worx mini vac and then reinstalled my carpeted OEM mats. Now I need to spray some interior scent in there and welcome in spring properly!

    My appointment is in 2 hrs and because of the massive pollen on my car this morning, after washing it last night, I decided to take a couple RW plush edgeless mf towels and wiped the car clean.
