    You have to start with an impeccable interior before you accessorize. The carpet was treated last night with Blackfire fabric protectant. The interior was cleaned with Meguiars D101 then protected with 303.
    Saddleman seat covers are custom fit and they were easy to install.

    Spring/Summer 2022 full detail DONE. Have a 4 day weekend, so got busy this morning. Good wash and interior. Engine is clean. Tires got Duragloss #253. Started to drizzle, so pulled it in the garage. Full polish with hybrid solutions polish & wax. My least fav. thing to do. But your best results start with a good base! 2 coats of hybrid solutions spray coating. Finally pulled it out of the garage for a final look and wipe down. WOW. It was worth the polish. Look's fantastic! Then finally touched up a few stone chips. I did want to try the new flex wax i have, but i know the combo above yields stellar results. I will play with it in the future. Sorry, no pics. Currently adding more data to my phone. About 4 hours total for the job.

    The Qashqai is getting driven more regularly now, school pick up a few times a week, and it was only lightly dirty and a little dusty. So I gave it an ONR wash, definitely no brushes used. Dried it using After Glow. Then sprayed it with 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating.

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

    I tried foaming Power Clean for a pre-wash. Let it sit for a minute or two and then rinsed it off. It rinses well, as the beading picks up a bit after just the pre-wash. I was curious if OPC would leave any surfactants behind that would mask the beading if I just rinsed with no agitation.

    I ran out of Reset so I used Optimum Car Wash I had on hand. I have to say this is a really decent soap. I used 2.5oz per 4 gallons of water and it foamed up extremely well. Good cleaning and lubricity as well. Decent soap for the money but I think you need to bump up the amount used for better results (2.5oz/4gal).

    Interior was ONR mixed with OPP.
