Yea, they should start selling steel wool wash mitts. Lol.
Doesn’t WD-40 protect stainless steel? That could be its form of “wax” lol.

How far can the CYBERTRUCK tow 11,000lbs in Freezing Weather? - YouTube
Unrelated but interesting
Seems the truth is somewhere in the middle but the facts remain:
1. Expensive
2. Impractical
3. $$$$$$$$$ (oh I said that)

I guess that’s their way of saying “patina”
They changed suicide doors to coach doors too. What the hell is a coach door? Lol. You have 1 of those cars, right?

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
First wash of 2024, on the hottest day of the year so far, so I started early. I got up just after 6am, had breakfast, walked the dogs, and started on the FJ just before 10am, it was already 30C/86f with 60% humidity. Used the Ryobi to pressure wash it outside, no foam because it's not real dirty and it's too hot, the worst was inside the wheel arches after driving through some local road works.
Moved it back inside the garage and gave it a RW wash with Ech2o, did the glass with Krystal Klear Bubble Gum Blitz on a Carpro Glass Mitt. I noticed the bullbar was looking a bit hazy, so I checked my shelf for what might fix it and protect it, I found some Mother's Carnauba Cleaner Wax that I've had on the shelf for at least 8 years, but still works fine. Because of the fiddly bits I just did it by hand. Finished it off by doing a light application of Autoglym Instant Tyre Dressing. All done just before noon, just as it's hitting 35/95. We're meant to hit 39/102 by 3pm, but that's ok, because I'm sitting in the AC now.

Dave, I hope you enjoyed that wash even more knowing some of us can't even get out there to do anything

I wouldn't say I enjoyed it more, but I do know how good I've got it, even with the weather happening up and down the east coast here.

Is that a mirror you've got in the back of the garage?

Yeah, it's the door on an old wardrobe we brought with us from Sydney, we didn't need it, but I was told it had to come. 2 hours to pull it apart, 3 hours to put it back together without any instructions, but it has been useful for extra storage, and practising my dance moves.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
The vette was a little dusty so I gave it a quick bath and topped it off with P&S defender.
I may be in the minority here, but I thought it was OK. I expected a little more gloss and smooth feeling paint. It was kind of grabby compared to other products I've used. I wasn't too impressed with it.
