Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Tried some of the American Detailer Garage Fuzion Hybrid Wash.
Wanted a foaming rinseless/washless product to prespray for some reason.
Wife told me "Thats going to be a huge mess!" and she was right.
Wouldn't be good for a washless solution, but really good for a rinseless or traditional wash pre-soak.
Foams up real good in an IK sprayer. Smells pretty good, very neutral which I like.
Have no idea if it actually helps things get cleaner, but it makes me feel better

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I've entered into a new detailing challenge. Once I started getting back into this rabbit hole habit I thought I'd go back to a white car eventually...well, family needs dictated moving on from the Genesis but I found this blue X3 M40i in a blue that reminded me of my all time favorite Jeep Cherokee in Patriot Blue. (I actually sanded and prepped my '92 Cherokee ahead of the Patriot Blue repaint way back in the day 20yrs ago).
So the new adventure begins with a Phytonic Blue Metallic BMW paint. I'm pleasantly surprised with the dealer detail but just picked it up tonight so I'm guessing once I dive in to do it my way I'll find nit picky things to stress over...

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Normal maintenance wash on the ZR2. In the sun Did the door weatherstripping with gummi pfldge. Another coat of wolfstiens tonneau cover protectant.
More thoughts on the TWHS Graphene tire shine....
It is the real deal! Just looks like i applied it after one week. And it has gone thru rain storms unaffected. 0% sling off. In real world testing, i would say you could go 3-4 weeks just using soap & water to clean the tires. If you have OCD it's so easy to just freshen it with a quick application.
Been having slight wiper judder. So stripped clean with Stoners glass stripper. Then i still had some DP glass coating. So coated the windshield with that. Tested. Seems fine now. I believe DP & Mc Kees 37 were both noted not to cause the wiper judder.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
After 3 days of pollen raining on the EN I HAD to wash it, it looked used and abused, horrible! The combo of pollen and small, glistening dots of sap were too much to take anymore️
I decided to use my Griot's Garage foam gun w/ 32 oz of water and 3 oz of Bilt-Hamber Auto-foam, I went all in here, don't know the PIR ratio and don't care! I will say I went through that full bottle pretty quickly but still got it done, a short dwell time and rinsed away, water beading nicely
Next up were the tires and wheels and for this I used TWHS Hyper Foam Tire and Wheel cleaner and as always it didn't disappoint! I used 3 of 4 brushes and rinsed them clean. I dried the EN w/ the Sucker drying towel and designated mf towel for the tires and wheels. Ofcoarse the jams were dried out too
Finishing up I applied a light coat of 303 Tire Balm to tires and finished up trying a new product...3D Bead it UpI've gotta say this was a dream to use, so EASY to apply and wipe in! Do I need more protection, he'll yeah with this damn pollen, I'm not even playin' around here
Now the EN is ready for the drive across town tomorrow morning to Fuel Fed C&C in Hinsdale where my daughter, g/f and I look forward to a good time and see some people I haven't seen in a while, oh yeah the cars too! I'll be taking some good pics tomorrow morning, stay "tuned"

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Maintenance wash yesterday. The first wheel was tough to get clean due to sprayer issues. I have a bottle of Griot's wheel cleaner that I refilled (just once so far) with Meg D143. I had just replaced the sprayer because it wouldn't draw any liquid out of the bottle to spray. The replacement sprayer broke and the replacement to that had the same issue as the first. So I had to find another bottle and got a Griot's compact sprayer for it.
