    Took the Falcon XR8 for a drive yesterday so that I would have something to detail today.

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

    I decided to see how many ways I could fail on a “therapeutic” Sunday maintenance wash

    I got all my buckets and stuff sorted last night

    Washing outside here is a balancing act between the sun and the wind blowing red dirt everywhere and I start right after sunrise and sadly tend to rush through a wash

    Today started out calm and cloudy




    First fail was playing chemist and putting a capful of ONR in my gallon of pre-mixed foam cannon soap because I saw it suggested

    The “foam” came out like milk and ran off the truck faster than I could spray it on



    I dumped the soap and rinsed the cannon and put in my 4oz of Gold Class and made shaving cream

    I foamed her up, let it dwell, agitated emblems and such, and rinsed her off

    I would be ashamed to tell you how long it’s been on the truck but my 3D Poxy topped with OSW is still going fairly strong



    I use a 1 bucket multi mitt contact wash and did half the roof and grabbed for another mitt and saw this

    Obviously the handle has deteriorated and there were bits in the mitts

    I got mad because all 8 of my mitts were in the bucket and I wasn’t going to try and pick out bits of plastic and hope I didn’t miss one

    My contact wash went down the drain so I just gave it one more foaming and a third rinse and broke out the blower and drying towels

    Fail 3 was trying to finish up my OSW so I could try my HS Wet Wax

    It’s pretty humid today and 2 sprays per panel turned into 4-5 sprays so of course I made a streaky mess of things and doubled my drying time and used towel count



    End result was good but I’m not feeling especially “therapeutized”

    Hope your detailing Sunday is better

    Cheers

    Michael

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

    It was the Optimum Spray Wax I was overusing

    I KNEW I was using too much, especially given the humidity

    I was just trying to burn it up so I could try the HS Wet Wax

    I hate having lots of almost empty bottles of stuff laying around so I try to use it all unless it’s just garbage then I don’t hesitate to toss it

    I will break out the Wet Wax next time
