    Sorry no picture. A change of clothes and we recessed with our wives and friends for an evening on a patio viewing a beautiful sunset in AZ.
    Your house will become a popular meet-up spot before going out for dinner.

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

    “I” didn’t do any detailing today but some poor mobile detailer in Oxford MS did some detailing…for free!

    My daughters roommate has her car washed every so often, they always come to the house and wash it. She always tell the guy to text her when he’s close and she’ll pull the car out of the garage and pull it around to the front of the house and he’ll wash it.

    My daughter and the other two roommates always parks in front of the house. Well the guy didn’t text her…meanwhile my daughter looked at the cameras looking at the front of the house and saw that her doors were open, she freaked out and went outside.

    It was then the mobile detailer realized he made a major error…looked at his paperwork….suv, red, Jaguar…my daughter has a suv, white, bmw!!!

    Prior to leaving for school in early August, I did a full detail including decontamination, clay, polish, and topped with Sonax PNS since it had good self cleaning properties.

    The car has not been washed since, I even told her a few months ago to run it through the swirl-o-matic since it was so dirty…nope!

    She was home for Easter, I told her not to wash it since she would be home for the summer and I wanted to make it my project…oh well.

    Now I’m wondering if the guy used a mobile pressure washer or a rinseless, I’m praying pressure washer otherwise I will have a project next month!

    Switched over to the Kristal Klar SUMMER concrete for the windshield washer fluid. 1 cap to 1 gal. of water. So much better for removing the summer Buggage from the windshield. I have the 303 tablets on reserve.

    Do you use tap water or distilled? I think it's designed to be used with tap water. Do you use it at the recommended dilution?

    I started using it last year. Also added it to my winter washer fluid, which I can switch out now.

    Tap water and use dilution on the bottle. Great product!

    I prefer the concentrate over the concrete version.
    I actually didn't realize that error until I looked up the product.
    Seems like a good product, might have to try it out. Bug guts on the windshield drive me nuts.

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

    Had some time to kill after dropping off my daughter for movie night at school, so FNW...it's been a while!

    Had the IK Foam Pro 12 loaded with Bilt-Hamber Touchless and a smaller IK w/ CG's Glossworkz (using it up tire/wheel pre-wash) and got to it.

    After running the EN through I began to dry it off. Behind me in the wash was a STUNNING E30 convertible, black/black top and period correct BBS', I complimented the guy on his car as he too was drying his off.

    I did a vac, wiped down the back of my p/s seat back and finished with some 3D Mango scent.

    I just love these KN wheels on my ENWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?
