What did you do detailing wise today?

Had to work Saturday so Maintenace detail was done Sunday. Finished with wet wax as the drying aid. Tires got a touch up with Griots ceramic tire shine.
 
Starting to question why I brought black! LOL. 62 here in PA. Got a interior and full wash done. Used the underwasher underneath. Finished with BM wheel wheel protectant. TW hyper foam on the tires. TWHS ceramic tire dressing. Did they change the formula? Love it now. Thin clear liquid. Looks even and fantastic on the tires. Black was looking tired, so hit with a quick coat of TWHS black spray wax. Engine got a clean and detail too.

Saturday was a wash out, so wash/detail today. Clouds so perfect for trying out the TWHS Black polish. Ceramic Acrylic black polish all in one formula corrects enhances and adds protection to black paint finishes. Did hand application with TW application pad and black MF towels. Really? This product amazed me! Easy application and no streaking on removal. Looked like a deep black ink pool when I was done. SOLD!! Can be topped 24 hours later with TWHS black wax or any other TWHS coating.
 
So 4 days go by and nobody (except me) says anything about the return of our long-lost (original) Autopia moderator, PrinzII??

I know it looks like he's some sort of new guy that only joined in 2011 and only has a few posts, but his old posts seem to be under the username "boywonder", where his 5000+ posts go back to 2001. I've noticed that a lot of posts of the old staff here appear under different user names, I'm not sure if that was some glitch during the combination/reintegration of the forums or something that was done deliberately at some point.
 
Yes, remiss of me, no matter of hectic the week has seemed :o

PrinzII- Hey, great to see you posting again! A few old-timers have visited lately, and I'm so glad you're among them.
 
Despite the lousy weather got a wash in Saturday afternoon after a break in the rain. Finished with TWHS wax and dry plus as a rinse wax.

Added matte black reflective CHEVROLET domed letters in the tailgate.
 
6am detail therapy. The only way to do a black vehicle! NO SUN. Good wash and interior detail. Finished with TW wax and dry plus as a rinse wax. Tonneau cover got a coat of Wolfstiens tonneau protectant. The aqua bead at 3:1 has been fantastic to dress the wheel wells.

Another 6am wash and detail. Along with a engine detail. Finished with wax and dry plus as a rinse wax. Sonus motor kote on the engine.
 
This morning got up early and washed the 1971 Porsche 911. Had to get rid of all of the bugs from yesterday's drive to Chicago for the Checkeditout Car Show.
 
I washed the wife's Outback.

Adam's Blue in foam cannon (2 oz/32), modest foam but it worked. (foam, no rinse contact process with 1 bucket).
Dried with 15 year old waffle weave and used a 4HP metro to blow water out of crevices and grille
MK37 Graphene Detail Spray (almost out so looking for something else)
Griots 3n1 protection on jambs
Mothers B2B tire cleaner
Poorboy's Bold n Bright on tires (almost out of tire shines)
Griots 3n1 protection on wheels (used residual soap to clean as I do usually do wheels last to use soap)
wheel wells - Adams Mat and rubber dressing (pray and spray method) - Love the smell of this
Stoners on glass

I have new stainless steel disconnects. Somewhere along the way I lost a washer for one on my shutoff so had leaks.

I try to start by 7:30 and end by 9 to miss the sun. I want everything done except tire dressing and windows. I can get started very quickly if I get everything out at first but takes longer since I have to wind the hose on the pressure washer. The more different tools and products (what the enthusiast sellers want) the slower the process.

I would not be surprised if they sold a mini-washer and dryer for microfiber.


My shopping wants
- more tire shine
- spray sealant
- maybe a hybrid rinseless
