So I had to find another bottle and got a Griot's compact sprayer for it.
At least it's not just me then. While doing yesterday's wash, the cheap and nasty hose kept disconnecting from the pressure washer, after the third time I swapped for the good hose, that's way to long and gets in the way, which leads me to knock over the foam cannon and spill the carefully mixed contents all over the garage floor. Then, eventually with everything sorted and cleaned up, I actually got to work on the car.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Between more pollen, driving the EN around and those tree seeds falling on the car...oh yeah a couple rounds of sprinkles later in the day, I needed to wash the EN. I did it before work, thankfully the great touch-free wash is right up the street from work, I got gas too (27.2 mpg)....oh yeah the trigger for this wash, HUUUUGE bird bomb, decided to just run it through there️
Now it's clean when I leave work today

Hopefully you didn't have to grunt or make strange faces while you were doing it.

What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
My company car finally arrived after 7 months of waiting. I gave it the full treatment after the dealer did their half assed dealer prep. The products used were Griots 3 in 1, Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant, Wolfgang Metal Sealant, 303 Protectant, Duragloss 253, Blackfire Fabric Protectant.

That's crazy, I would be so frustrated. Is that pollen? We don't see anything like that here.

I wasn't crazy about the Mitsubishi at first but I got used to it. It was comfortable and the storage in the back was adequate. The gas mileage was good (29 mpg average) but it lacked power. It was slow coming off of the line and it had trouble passing cars on the highway.
