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

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
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 it) 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 goes
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.
