While waiting for dinner, I applied the second coat of CQuartz Lite to my a pillars. I also got some of the Gtechniq C5 that Guz sent me and applied it to the supercharger on my MINI.

Very windy here today, so windy that in addition to the extra layer of dust on the ES, a

was blown off coarse and made a deposit! I grabbed my gallon of Feynlab RW made up as a WW and filled up my 1000ML Kwazzer and cleaned it off...as well as the entire ES

I applied a very light coat of Adam's graphene tire dressing and called it an evening.

...oh yeah, I'm running a load of mf towels right now, 25 minutes to go

Also I've been listening to my Spotify playlist called "Get the Led out" (how original

) Right now "The Crunge" is on...where's that confounded bridge?

I also ordered the just released TWHS interior detailer and leather conditioner. When I put the 2nd item in the cart I got free shipping. Because Turtle

Wax is local I'll be getting it tomorrow, just in time for the weekend

The owner is NOT a car guy and definitely finds my detailing proclivities frankly confusing. The car has about 27,000 miles on it and I dare say there are parts of this vehicle that have never been cleaned in that time.

Used Brake Buster straight up to cut through 5 years of neglect.

Note that I still managed to get in some Ford branding,

All done and now ready for sale.

Circling back to this post from last month, the car was sold earlier this week.

It was purchased by a guy as a first car for his daughter. I'm told the young lass was out delighted with it and was out washing it the next morning. The disease is spreading far and wide!

The detail on this car was what made it stand out from all the rest and ultimately got it sold.

I've abused the ES for days, it's been sitting there collecting dust and whatever else, so this morning it was time to get after it!

I started with the rims using Auto-Fanatic foaming wheel cleaner and 3 brushes. My wheel cleaning bucket had leftover TW RW in it, so brushes were soaking in it and helped with cleaning

Next up was the wash and since it was just dusty and had some tree/twig bits a good foaming was all that was needed. For this I reached for Adam's graphene carwash w/ a squirt of AMMO winter wash in my CG's foam gun. I emptied the entire contents, let it dwell for 5 minutes and rinsed off. The beading left behind was amazing, surely a combination of the soap and my current LSP which is KSG

I then used free flowing water to rinse down the beads. Once done I grabbed P&S Paint Gloss as a drying aid and actually finished the bottle. I bought this product due to it attracting less dust compared to Beadmaker. I have to say that because I stay ontop of my car I never noticed the issue with Beadmaker. I'll continue to use Beadmaker till I'm out but I also like Paint Gloss, decisions, decisions
