I was going to wash the van, but I decided to wash my wife`s Escape`s wheels. Then I washed the pressure washer (Generac 3100PSI/2.7GPM), the housekeeper`s car, and our driveway.
I bought some Plastidip at Home Depot this morning to put on the tip of my Speed Master wheel brush. The protective black cap came off the tip and I can`t find it. I don`t know if Plastidip is the solution, but I hope it`ll work.

Mine did the same thing. I wrapped the tip with Gorilla duct tape. So far it`s held up for 2 years.

It`s really sad, but I polished my washer. For some reason I was compelled to break out my old PC 7424 (non-XP). Haven`t used it in years.
I started to use it and it smelled like iron burning off the armature. Just rust from it sitting so long. The smell went away and the machine surprisingly worked really well.
Actually, was very impressed with how powerful it was with 3" pads. A lot more stable and nicer to use with 3" pads compared to a GG6. The pad just flew. Seemed like it was meant for a 3" pad (GG6 does not). I noticed cord was a nice rubber too.
It used Optimum GPS and a LC 3" polishing pad:
Some defects before:
After:
Topped it with OCW:

Will be using the PC (instead of GG6) as my 3" polisher from now on.

Hmm... Did you decontaminate and clay your washer first? It`s a vital step....

Swanic : 3" pads on a PC is an awesome thing, mine is currently used just for that and I find myself doing a few more additional passes because of how nice it feels/operates.
Fact: my tablet auto corrected "swanic" to "satanic" and I was about to press "post reply" ,glad I checked.

This humble novice put his second coat of Jespar`s/Menzerna Sealant on his car. By hand, no less. Will wait and take a good picture of my after from the heavy swirling. Post in the detail brag section....novice...
I did a half decent job of cleaning the inside. Except for vacuuming.
I had a plastic tote in the trunk. Spray bottle of Xwax in there along with towels, brushes, duster. Found the bottle of Xwax leaked. The duster absorbed almost all of it. ... Doh! Won`t do that again. Duster is drying right now from rinsing.
Found out yesterday. I do have a garage I can use to buff or wax. It`s an hour`s drive away. Belongs to the company I work for. Heated and all. So that`s good.

Do you do your windshield with the bathe + ? Any grunge build up on it a few days after driving?

I wash the windows too. As far as grunge - hard to say, Ron. After a few days of driving around Chicago, there`s all kind of grime on my car. I usually hit the windows with some DG #751 afterwards anyway.
What I can say is that the wipers don`t skip/chatter. I noticed that when G1 was getting thin and a bit with HydrO2.

The wipers didn`t chatter for me either. That`s a +.
But there was a type of grungy film on the windshield after humidity or dew that wouldn`t come off till next wash.
