What did you do detailing wise today?

Even warmer today, so a re-application of WGTS on all exterior plastics. A job i dislike and time consumimg. On a xterra anyway. But looks great when finished!

I think this weekend gave me the spring detailing fever.....
 
It was in the low 70's so I spent almost 4 hrs washing cars and ending up adding some WG Sealant Spritz. The other car with Power Lock was doing very well..sheets water very well.

I do not always use my pressure washer but it sure makes things easier -- pre-wash rinse, cleaning wells and wheels, and the final rinse -- quick and not a lot of water.
 
detailed a neighbor's 2013 ford fusion on sunday. one step with megs swirl-x and sealed with megs paint protect. normally wipe on and wipe off in 5 min., but this time I sealed the entire vehicle first and then wiped off. definitely more difficult and tended to streak some, so back to the 5 min wipe off. anxious to see how the sealant holds up over time.
 
Saturday morning washed the CR-V, dried with Nanoskin Nano Shock Instant Lubricant Sealant 16 oz., tires cleaned with Mothers Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner and dressed tires with Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Dressing.

Second application to see what dirt was left...................Pretty clean, I think one pass on the remaining tires was enough.

For the second day, I left my car in the garage and drove my truck to work so as to avoid rain. I had just washed it and refreshed the WG and want to see it at least once in sun...
 
Got my snow-blower out!!! AGAIN!!! Really tired of this Winter! Come on SPRING!!! All five of my toys PARKED over 3 months. Heart wrenching, enough already!!!

Just to make you " northerners " feel a touch better

We have a freeze watch tonight
 
^ Awesome reflections. I have a Subaru to do in a couple hours and picking up a Mustang to do right after that. Gonna be a long day.
 
Enjoyed a nice warm day here in Southern California. It gave me the opportunity to test out the new Meguiar's thin foam pads on a test hood that I have.
 
Repaired my Bissell 12 Amp 2x Proheat upright. Hoping to test extraction capability soon. Did a test run on Griot's HD wheel cleaner last night. Not uber impressed but happy none the less.
