Red key ftw (1st of 3 cats in the bag, coming soon Torred red charger and tri coat black challenger hellcats-whenever they find the time)
 
despite all of the pollen dusting, a lot of the car show participants (after boasting about their waxes, etc) were shocked to hear that ron's cquartz uk was 2 1/2 yrs old, very slick, and still looked like glass. they got pretty quiet, pretty quick. way to take care of your ride there wax waster. :bigups
p.s. thanks for lunch today ron.
 
Washed with the Finish Kare soap, did the wheels with Sonax. Polishing PBL off tomorrow, then jeweling with WG FG and applying gloss coat, and doing trim with C4. Pics to follow!
 
Use a whole bunch of new products yesterday just so I could enter them for as 3 Word Reviews for the Linus Pauling Day contest:

HD Glass - My new favorite glass cleaner.
HD Touch - Not a great QD. Seemed almost sticky and required lots of extra buffing
HD Express - Too thick to call it a spray wax! Nice stuff for sure, but needs to be applied with a wax applicator for best results.
HD Protect - Very nice interior protectant. Creamy consistency. A little spreads far
Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner & Conditioner -Not sure how much of a time saver this interior AIO was. I had to go back over a few time with a fresh MF in order to knock down high spots.
 
Weekly wash on the Nissan this morning, this time i did a full 2 bucket wash with 3D Pink soap (been doing rinseless for the past few washes). Didn't need to reapply PERL on tires since i've been layering it on and the tires clean up with standard pressure from the hose,blow dry them with the DP turbo dryer and they're good as new. Wheels have a coat of FK1000p on so they clean up right away with the leftover soapy solution and a brush/woolies.

Brought it in the garage,wiped hood with IPA and applied a 50/50 of FK1000p and 845(i'm not seeing the same durability from the FK1kp on certain spots as other vehicle i applied to, so i'm trying to see if my rinseless solution is messing with the LSP or what) , re-topped the roof and trunk with FK1000p and done.

Polished off the PBL v2, fine polished with WG finishing glaze and applied Optimum gloss coat. Also did opti glass coat on all glass, and touched up some trim with C4. Was going to coat my wheels but theyre gonna need to come off for a full deep clean so i can do it properly.
 
Just ordered a Flex PE8 minutes ago, can't wait, have almost everything to go with the little handheld Powerhouse !!;)
 
Pulled front wheels off the CR-V and cleaned up the wheels and wheel wells. Simple cleaning with Iron-X and APC on the wheels then hit wheel faces and barrels with Reload. Sorry, been so long I don't remember how to re-size the pictures.
