Also did the washing machine today. Several products for this too in the laundry isle. TIDE makes a good one.
Tide Washing Machine Cleaner
I try to do both about every 3 months or so.

Swapped winter treads for 'non-winter' treads. It's surprising how much wheels affect the look of a vehicle.

Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
Modern cars can be so frustrating. The battery in the Qashqai died yesterday. I don't get to drive it too much, it seemed ok last week, but yesterday I couldn't even raise the driver's window, wouldn't start of course, and it was only showing 7-8 volts.
I called the mobile battery service this morning, when he arrived the first thing he wanted to do was jump start it, to ensure the alternator was charging fine. He attached his jump pack, and I tried to start it, nope, there was a loud click and all the dash lights went out. Probable popped fuse, but which one. He then spent 40 mins checking 3 different fuse boxes, no luck. There may even be a fourth fuse box according to google, but that's under the bumper somewhere.
So it's going to be towed to the nearest dealer, covered by roadside service, who were going to supply the battery.
Anyone know how to release an electronic parking brake without power, I really don't want to have to drag it out of the garage with the parking brake still on.

Had a Coolaroo wand operated roller shade installed on the front porch yesterday. Just for the area we sit. For PRIVACY! It is really nice! PERFECT. Got the size needed at Lowes and local handyman did the install yesterday. It will be time to set up the porch soon. The shade should have been done long ago!

If I was at work I could access the service information, but can’t at home. Nothing in the owners manual about what to do in case of?

Nothing that detailed, it's all about functionality, with some transmissions it operates automatically, others not, and how to use it in an emergency, yeah, pull it up, and hold it up till you stop, and ignore any alarming noises or smells that may come from it, same goes for your sphincter I suppose if all you've got left is your electronic parking brake.
Thanks anyway, I have to call the Nissan dealer on Tuesday morning before getting it towed, they may have a way of releasing it.
