The Mustang's engine way gets wiped down after each wash, so not especially dirty but a chance to get into the areas I miss. I did remove the engine and battery covers to get better access, using ONR to wipe away any dust that accumulates under them. Dressed with 303 Protectant.
Sprayers match the car

Gathering soaps, sprays and tools for a morning wash that's MUCH needed

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Started my Jeep detailing project yesterday evening.
Soooo much to do!
I’m actually looking forward to this transformation.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Got out there early this morning before it gets too sunny and hot today. I posted pics of the "before, during and after" process. I'm also going to post pics of the products, wanna change it up some.
The tire/wheel cleaning involved Brake Buster and Griot's Garage foaming tire cleaner, all 4 brushes called into service this morning. The foam is nice because it sticks around and just works! Once I was done with the 1st tire/wheel cleaning I noticed the wheels were still beading but decided to "kick it up a notch", hopefully. I say this because recently it was posted here that IGL Premier has a shelf life and I decided to try it on my rims. While wet I sprayed it on there, let it sit while cleaning the next one and came back and rinsed it off. To my delight it beaded even MORE, maybe it does have life left in it
Next up was the pre-wash. For this I used 1.5 ounces of IGL Blizzard and a little squirt of AMMO winter booster (using it up). I foamed the car real good and let it sit, rinsed down and got things ready for the contact wash
For the 2BM I used 2 ounces of Gyeon Essense, finishing up that product. It foamed up real good and I knocked out the contact wash and rinsed away, now for a drying aid...or maybe not
Initially I was going to use Sonax BSD as a drying aid but it was a "healthy scratch" and I decided to finish off another bottle 100% , Adam's Seal 02. I didn't have enough to fill up my CG's foam gun so I added some Griot's Garage foaming Poly Gloss. I then sprayed this onto the ES, let it dwell and rinsed away.
I finished up by drying off with my Adam's white waffle weave towel for the glass and 2 Gauntlet towels for the car and jama. Designated mf towel for the tires and wheels.
I'm waiting a bit to freshen up the tires with Adam's graphene tire dressing and their wheelwell dressing, then I'll be done
Not sure why some of the pics are out of sequence

Same!
Yeah between work, training, these brutal summer temps and summer activities I haven’t done much detailing.
I also cleaned all my pads and microfibers.

Washed two weeks of grime and dead bugs off of the Fusion. The 303 Graphene Coating is still doing its thing. Foamed with Adams Graphene car wash and then a two bucket wash with the same.
Topped off with Adams Graphene Detail Spray as a drying aid.

Then did the interior with Griot's Interior Cleaner, 303, and Griot's Leather 3in1. Used the thin Cobra microfiber applicators to put on the 303 and Leather 3in1. Had one split on me. That was the first time using it.
They do make a 500ML Kwazzer
