What did you do detailing wise today?

Earned some brownie points by erasing several years worth of automatic car washes from my wifes DD (car was used when we bought it and I think they cleaned the snow off with a rock)
M101 & M205
Adams Paint Sealant
Nattys Blue

First decon of my new SUV, plus a badly needed thorough wash.

Packed up and ready for battle

My weapons: Cobra mitt, Nano mini towel, Opt. Clay.

First up, wash all crud off. Must have sat on the lot, dirt in all crevices.

Used a foamgun, micromitt on an extension pole that I would dip in rinse bucket with both GGs.
solid cleaning in the mid range.

I really liked the foam of Cleanslate, did not remove all the car lots wax.

Wanted to take my time, try to remove as much as possible, so I used Glide and

Wash off mitt in 1/2oz Slate to gal. Water then rinse bucket. Backward but wanted only Glide to wipe off.
Tight areas I tried the mini towel & clay

Mini towel was much easier and I could wrap it around or
Into areas. The Cobra mitt was by far my fav. It would hold liquid in it`s foam body, soft, flexible, nice product.
The 2 combined made an unbeatable pair.

I only had time to foam once more, no wax or sealant.
So I picked this for the Q2M properties

4oz. Of Gyeon Bathe, Foam was not as thick as
CGs Slates 4oz.
As I sprayed I could see the paint coming to life, as the Q2M did its thing. I then blasted it with water like the
Wetcoat, for good measure, then a nice shower rinse.

Paint is smooth, and should hold till I take a week off end of Month to give her everything I have been selecting for her.

Gyeon Bathe+ definitely isn`t a foamy soap. However, foam != lubricity or cleaning power. Bathe+ really excels at maintenance washes when you want to lay down just a little more coating.

Did you charge for that 650? I find myself doing a fair amount of "pro bono" work for friends... Or at least bartering cigars or bottles of wine....

i don`t charge friends or family. i`m fortunate to be retired in one piece and enjoy paying it forward. many will still give a gift card, etc. to help replenish supplies though.
 
How did you like the clean slate & Q&M Bathe +?

I did like them both, Slate was foamy, and smelled clean so i filled my foamgun again but as I foamed & scrubbed I could see the beading of wax, not a CLEAN SLATE.
Bathe + was pure luxury. silky, slick foam. I`ll be watching to see how the Q2M holds up this next 2 weeks. The cobra mitt smoothed the paint but Bathe+ brightened it.
Out of the 2 shampoos I`ll most likely buy more Bathe+
