Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I accidentally posted this in the non detailing section earlier. I decided to try the new Gloss Coat that was recently reformulated a few months ago. Truck was prepped with Hyper Polish and OPT Pain Prep. I applied 2 coats, an hour apart. It rained 24 hours later and I grabbed a beading shot. I drove the truck shortly after to dry it. Shower was brief. Application was simple, however I didn`t use quite enough product. Only 8cc`s were used so I`m not expecting the longevity to hit 2 years. I probably should have used at least 10cc's.

I think the time frame is within the first two hours and that initial coat is likely most important.

If you got it spread out and even coverage you will be fine. Laying it on thicker doeasn’t increase durability. Doing a second coat might.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I wasn't happy with the patchy results from my last application of 303 on my tyres, and there was still some mud hiding in some nooks and crannies. I also noticed I got some over spray on the upwind side, all the way up to the roof. So I cleaned the tyres with some Carpro Eraser and a scrubbing brush. Then reapplied the 303 in the garage, let it soak in for an hour, then removed the excess. Then wiped the whole car over with Bowden's Boss Gloss, to remove any more over spray.

Washed the XR8 and Ranger today. The weather was perfection today, sunny skies and 22 deg C / 72 deg F.
This is beading is after applying Gyeon Q2 Wax -
I also continued to trail P&S Dream Maker on the Ranger.

If we don't get too much rain, I can get 3 - 4 weeks on the FJ. On the Qashqai, which lives in the garage, and only gets driven once a week, 2 months easy, except for the front passenger tyre, which gets rubbed on the gutter almost every time it's driven.

Washed some microfibers...
