So far I'm very happy with it, the FJs door interiors are all plastic, and they've been rained on a few times, absolutely no streaking, and it's lasted 2 months or so. I previously used 303 Aerospace Protectant, its slightly easier to apply, might look marginally better, but streaks when wet and doesn't last as long.
It's called Hybrid Solutions Graphene +Ceramic Inside Job. I'm guessing it's from Turtle Wax as it has a picture of a turtle on it. I got it at Autobarn, I can't remember how much, but it was on one of there 20% off days.
On the bat flu, I've now lost most of my sense of smell, most things are odourless, although I can still smell the Krystal Klean Bubblegum Blitz, but it doesn't smell like bubblegum anymore. At least I can still taste things though, so that's ok.

Most people will only go 2-3 times a month.

Wiped down the plastic GM interior with Ech20. Leaves a nice matte look that darkens the plastic.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Vacuumed the carpets, mats and seats in the Qashqai, picked up enough lolly wrappers and drink bottle seals off the back floor to know I'll have to have a quiet word with the nephew, no more hot wheels if it keeps happening.
Also vacuumed the FJ again, didn't need it though, and to redo the doors with TWHS Inside Job, says it's good for leather too, so I tried it on the steering wheel, only thing that's leather in the FJ. Feels good, less slip, more grip.
Can you tell I'm getting bored?

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Washed, inspected, and folded another order of my new "wash mitts". I tried the method of using 1 mf towel per panel instead of a single wash mitt after noticing a very very light maring on the entire surface of the buick. Its black so i personally notice it plain as day. I have since stopped using a wash mitt on all 3 of our vehicles, and now towels only and really enjoy this method.
Loving these 3D 400gsm mf towels.

While that is true people like us are not most people, lol I usually go every day and if I don't I will run my workman through it or take my girlfriend's car through it so I'm making out like a bandit! This has more to do with trying to stay on top of that stupid sap tree behind my house.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Got to work on this 1959 Volvo this morning. He was looking for paint enhancement for the most part but had some tape lines on it too. I was going to pre-wash/2BM the car but his hose didn't work, no problem I always have enough WW and mf towels in the EN to do an emergency wash, always prepared The owner had never seen a WW and was impressed and said thr car looked better already, LOL. I then clayed it using a Griot's Garage aggressive clay MIT. It's really not too bad but my clay lube has WGU infused in it...NO PROBLEM ️
It was then time for the polishing and since this was enhancement it was a perfect time for 3D Speed and once again it killed it I did half of the trunk and asked the owner to come over and look...he was VERY happy! I used both of Griot's Garage machines, orange flat pads speed setting @5 for both machines.
When I was done the owner asked me what do I owe you and I said pay me what you think it's worth. I came back in and he handed me $350 and I said that's $100 more than I was expecting and I gave him $100 back and instead he took the $50, so $300 it was. The owner is a very nice guy, originally from Sweden and retired, has 4 of these Volvos, plus a new to him S40 wagon that needs some attention, so I'll probably get more work from him
