What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Haha! I say that every time and guess what I come home with......at least now it's metallic and so much easier on the OCD. I do miss the DEEP Black on sunny days that have awesome puffy clouds...

Stopped by the pay and spray at lunch, did a rinse only, blow dried quickly and did a little wipe down on the back with waterless wash when I got back. Good thing I applied some UQW when I washed the car the other day, there was only some water remaining on the rear bumper and some spots on a couple of side windows, everything else was clean and spot free. For the price, that stuff is still the best quick wax.

Finally took the time to do my first wash with my pressure washer I bought from the OG channel after he did his testing.

It was very enjoyable. I was able to clean my wheels without agitating them for the first time ever. Just sprayed wheel brightener on, scrubbed the tire with 303 rubber, and then rinse everything at once.

The rinse took off all the leaves and random debris that accumulates around here with 0 issues, where my garden hose struggles quite a bit with some things.

I was worried that the greenworks putting out like.. 1.3-1.4 gpm or whatever he tested it at would feel slow rinsing the soap off, which was hyper wash, but it felt just fine. Overall between doing my wheels, the initial rinse, rinsing the soap off, and then rinsing HCW off, it hardly used any amount of water compared to my garden hose.

After the final rinse I went around the whole car with my leaf blower and blew off a bunch of the water. Then I went around spraying 1-2 sprays of meguiars hybrid ceramic wax into a towel and spreading it evenly over each panel. Then I did one final rinse.

With a pressure washer it was really easy to notice areas that needed to be rinsed more. I see reviews on YouTube where people rinse for about a second, but I think I went around rinsing my car for a good 2-3 minutes. The beading is pretty crazy from HCW.

I plan on diluting it down, maybe to 7:1 like mentioned in the HCW thread and trying it that way next time I wash my car. I may just use it that way as a drying aid. If I decide to use it as a drying aid vs spray and rinse, I may cut it at something like 5:1-4:1.

After drying I noticed some streaks in random areas. Probably from applying HCW too heavy on those areas. I went around with Wolfgang Uber rinseless diluted to WW/derail spray and it took them off no issues.

All in all, I had a great time washing my car tonight.

I’m aware that I need to take a picture at a different angle at some point, but I’m very lazy.

I actually did a N914 WW on my lunch hour instead of surfing car forums. It was party sunny and 60, perfect conditions. The car is currently wearing the 7:1 Meg's HCW spray on, rinse off ratio and I'm glad to announce clean up was VERY easy! I used 6 Jack towels from DPC and a spare towel to clean up the tires and wheels, same towel used to wipe out the wheelwells when I was done. Once I got home I decided to apply Adam's Tire Armor and even though the tires weren't brown after I N914'd them I decided to "boost them up". Well, after I applied the Adam's Tire Armor they basically looked the same, so I waited 10 minutes and applied a coat of Gyeon Tire...problem solved. Then I vac'd out the car used up the little bit of CG's Black Frost, inside out...factory fresh

Just tried Adam's Detail Spray for the first time, wanted to give the car a "little extra" and this stuff is much more than a QD

Embarrassing moment for the day.

So our driveway was blocked off about 2/3 of the way by multiple dump trucks. They are adding on to our subdivision.

Any way I thought I could get past them if I barely went into the grass. I was wrong. That ground is so loose and wet. It wasn't nearly as wet this morning.

Well my truck basically sunk on 1 side :-).

Street tires aren't the best for this but I wasn't planning on going into a lot of mud

I got it our with a quick pull from my dad's Chevy.
I couldn't get any weight on the tires that were on concrete due to the slope.


I did get it cleaned up with pressure washer and foam cannon.

Love having a garage wall mounted pressure washer with 100 ft hose. Saves so much time!

Glad there was no damage.
With all the rain we've had here I can only imagine the same thing happening here.
 
looked more like soup. that should dry out by the end of summer. glad you got it all cleaned up.
 
Damn!

Glad you got out of that quagmire.

Myself, I would have insisted that the dump trucks "Move their a$$es from in front of my driveway"......
