I was battling possible rain so will have to take it out tomorrow to inspect in the sun.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Once my g/f got home from work tonight I took her Cruze for a touch-free wash. Now it gets washed twice a week but while using the squeegee to clean the windows before the wash I could HEAR that damn sap, this is why the EN is washed so much! For a little over a dollar a day I've got a quick and easy wash
Once home I topped up the 3 week old CarPro Darkside with Pure:est tire dressing, now we'll see how this lasts ️

Frustrating but thankfully they back their warranty. I even posted about a bad foam gun from them in a review and they fixed it without issue. In fact, I made a dumb error in the return process and they still made it right pretty quickly.
Hopefully they get you sorted quickly to finish the other 2/3!

Reseating the brushes was my first thought too.
You could also try applying slight tension in different directions where the plug goes into the polisher - I had a super early run machine where they got a bad batch of cables. If I kept slight tension down on the cord I could keep the machine running to finish what I needed to get done. Griot’s sent me a new cord as soon as I talked to them.

Yes, I check both the brushes and plug/cord. I had read about the cords on the early ones (mines an early one too) so tried all different ways but no go
I'm sure Griots will make it right, I've talked to them in the past and they were very helpful, but it will be costly to me for shipping over the border and waiting.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Gave the wifes jeep a wash/decon today, and decided give it its topper for the year. Its wearing pure evo. Started topping with can coat evo, started with the roof, and side glass/top half of doors.
Did half the hood, and it started to look a little streaky or something, hood in general also looked a little meh, like stained or some shat. It was finally warming up so maybe temp change was making it finiky. Either way, i got pisssed. Grabbed the supa beast and tossed on a white force pad and some 3d 502 made 2 passed and the hood cleaned right up.
I said f the cancoat on black paint, went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of mohs evo. Finished out the rest of the jeep with it.
Nice little behavour /durability test i rekon .
Also gave the truck a rinseless.

Did a RW on the gf's car and then put on some Griot's ceramic speed shine. Hopefully I get time for my car tomorrow evening.
