What did you do detailing wise today?

Finished polishing this bad boy today. Glazed it with PB Black Hole and waxed it with PB Natty`s Black.

I washed my car at home today. Been doing it for a few weeks now. Might not be a big deal.
When I came on this site. I was living in an apartment. Hastles...everything a hastle. Car wash. No power in garage. Etc.
Now with a home. It`s great. The garage is just big enough to work on the car when I want to.
I`m confident some of my neighbors are wondering on my way of washing. I rinse the car off first. It gets dust from a gravel parking lot at work. At that point, just shut the hose off. Then I rinseless wash it. Know they`re wondering.....hhhhuuummm.... two buckets... ??? Doesn`t rinse? Then he goes around the car again. Sprays and wipes? Then wipes again? Hhhhhhuuumm... interesting?
Maybe I should be trying one of those soapy rinse gizmos at first on the dust?
 
Tried out something cool, its a battery powered sprayer,1.3 gals. Shoulder strap, comes with batts.
Worked awesome.

Very neat Mary, how is the pressure? same as a hand pump unit??


Today: My neighbor wanted me to "wash and wax" his truck; I was going to just D156 it but went ahead and did a layer of Collinite 845 instead since it has never been waxed he said, and it was evident ....his whole roof has clear coat fracture/Crows Feet along with some areas of the hood. Took this job as an opportunity to try out my new MF collapsible mop , and since it was very cheap, I didn`t have any expectations for it but I am very pleased after the first use and it made cleaning areas like the roof/hood/windshield a complete dream come true. It passed the CD test and the only damage I saw was very minor AFTER I scrubbed with unnecessary pressure to really test it out. Below you will see it next to the Griot`s Mitt,they are equally soft and the fibers look alike,so that really impressed me :

Also tried out my Mckees 37 waterless Concentrate for the first time, very nice product and i was going to review it but saw that someone already has:). The truck received a Rinseless wash with DP Rinseless and Mck37 WW as Nanoskin Pad Lube. I also had my detailer`s belt so it was very simple to go around the whole truck since i was carrying my towels and sealant/applicator with me the whole time. Process was :

Wipe panel with Rinseless-soaked media,spray WW,Decon with Sponge,Dry(some areas were nastier and the sponge was releasing even more dirt from the surface,so they needed an additional cleanup wipe) then after one side of the truck was done I laid a VERY thin layer of the 845(i was in the sun and it was hot so a thin layer was definitely an absolute must).

Tires/Wheels were sprayed with Megs APC 4:1 and some WW then various brushes/woolies/towels and then dressed with PERL 1:1 . Had to take breaks because of the heat,so it took me longer than i wanted it to but i did it all from Home since he`s next door, so i can`t really complain. Can`t see it much in pictures but the 845 darkened the paint a bit and since it has some filling abilities it gave it a nice gloss for a car that`s never been waxed nor polished. And that yellow spot on the running board is crayon staining that i removed a few moments after i took the picture.
