Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Thinking of stepping outside later and doing a rinseless wash in the dark.
Why not? No one will be around to bother me

Obviously I made them too clean, there was no more webbing, but the chartering was bad, but only on the return stroke. So I wiped some graphite powder on them, then cleaned the glass with Krystal Klean, I really like the bubblegum scent, and then gave it 2 coats of Rain-X.
Went for a drive to test it out, no more chattering, and almost didn't need the wipers at all. Now if the roads re-open I might get back to work tomorrow.

Nothing worse than trying to concentrate when it's pissing down and you get the wiper chatter...Good to see the lock lube helped

You in Alaska? I attended junior high in Nome and high school in Fairbanks as my dad was in the Army. I was fishing one time in Nome and stepped onto this marshy small island and a gray cloud of mosquitos surrounded me. Luckily I was wearing a repellant impregnated mesh hooded sweat shirt and they stayed about 2 inches from my face but if I didn’t have that mosquito repellant shirt on, I might have been taken to the bone there were so many. Then of course there are the numerous times when small children get carried off by a flock of Alaskan mosquitos the size of hummingbirds.

I was pretty annoyed the last time it rained as apparently something small got under my wiper at the store and so my wipers missed a tiny section of water on the way home and it was RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY SIGHT LINE. Drove me nuts.

It's not just me then, the rain gremlins target you as well. The webbing I got rid of, that led to the chattering seemed to only affect the wiper blade on the driver's side.

Haha. They’re bad in Arkansas but they’re normal size. The mosquitos in AK are truly huge and just as aggressive. I don’t remember the flies, only the mosquitos. And the cold, the damn cold. -80 F with wind chill in Fairbanks, AK the winter before I left.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Time to rotate the spare in again, I do it every 5000km. So it's a good time to clean the wheels inside and out. They didn't need anything special, used Carpro Reset, an old Meg's lambs wool mitt, and a detail brush for the fiddly bits. Raining again tomorrow so I'm not dressing the tyres.
