So are truck shows worse than car shows, for people touching, and I suppose climbing on, things that they shouldn't be?

No, this is strickly due to improper techniques when washing or wiping down the paint.

I've been using KCx Guf, which was designed to be a non-slip dressing. However, I really like P&S Swift for floor mats. While it wasn't designed for this role, rather its an interior quick detailer, but I find it has just the right amount of "enhancement" without being slick like applying a traditional dressing would. Either product would sprayed on and leveled with a towel.

That prompted me to finally get a “bird bomb box” ready
Towels were an easy choice but I kept trying to cram a WW/QD, an interior cleaner, and a glass cleaner into the box I selected to fit in an allocated location
I finally just quit fighting it and came to the conclusion I should have come to all along
I got a small 8 oz spray bottle from Walmart that I have Griot's Speed Shine in. I keep that in the car (except for winter) with some cut up pieces of Costco microfibers for bird bombs.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
Went to the self wash bay on Saturday and did a foam & rinse with Griot's foaming surface wash. Then did a rinseless on Sunday. It was still around 70 degrees in the evening when I did it. Car was still a little dirtier than usual when I did the rinseless.

Man, I am always in awe of your paint pics, I still LOVE that color
Mazda really has some stunning colors and you keep it up immaculately
Toyota gray was ok but they ruined it the last couple of years with that sickly green tinge they added to it

Thanks If you saw it up close, you'd see that it isn't immaculate tho. There's a big Dr. Colorchip session in my future to try to cover all the rock chips - the downside of doing so much highway driving. At some point later this year, it'll get machine polished too.

I need to get a kit for my little blue car, it has some rock rash too
I used to use Langka kits for my TT, but Dr Colorchip seems to be the hot ticket these days
