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

    We had mild temps and some cloud cover today, so a good time to wash the Qashqai, finally. It feels like it's been a couple of months, but it's probably been a few weeks.

    Cleaned the wheels first, used Bowden's Wheely Clean and my chubby yellow brush.

    Foamed it up with NV Snow, clouds and 70%+ humidity meant excellent dwell time.

    I was going to do a 2B wash next, but after spraying off with the pressure washer, I could see there was nothing left to wash off, so I moved it back inside and dried it using Ech2o as a drying aid.

    I put another layer of Boost V2 on after that, then topped up the tyres with Meg's Hyper Dressing.

    I notice you didn't use the full version name for the brush. That could sound very dirty..................

    Well, it's not a genuine "Little Chubby". In fact I think I bought it before that one came out, I found it in Total Tools, in the Automotive Tool section, sometimes they have random detailing stuff as well. I've had it maybe 10 years, I bought the Meg's one a year or so back, but I still like this one better for painted wheels, the bristles are softer.

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

    I cleaned my neighbor's car for her 50th Birthday. Had bird bombs and finger prints all over the place. Unfortunately it needs a good polishing to get the damage removed, but definitely not doing that as a gift lol.

    Backed the car out of the garage and drove it right next door and it was already covered in pollen! Ugh! Hopefully she enjoys it when she gets back on Thursday.

    Pollen season is the worst. My cars stay in the garage as much as possible during this time
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

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

    I had the FJ in the garage checking the fluid levels, and wiping the dust off the engine bay plastics. I noticed some water runs from the door handles and mirrors, we had about 15mm of rain overnight. It didn't have any waterspots though, happy about that. So I gave it a wipe over with Ech2o while it was inside, also cleaned the inside glass with Krystal Klear Bubble Gum Blitz.
