I typically work on Sunday's; it allows me to get clear access to my commercial properties without having work around parked cars/customers/workers that weekday a presents.
This Sunday, my sister who lives two hours away paid me a visit for the first time in a few months. We had a late breakfast at a local Cafe for a catch-up over coffee and food. I sort of decided I would skip a few jobs afterwards so I could detail her car. I clean, she chats, I listen.
The car hadn't been washed for a long time, she doesn't have the time or the place to do it herself, and "finding someone to clean my car like you do is hard".
I didn't have the space in the garage at the time, so I started with a vacuum of the interior in the driveway to get that out of the way first.
Wheels, wheel arches and tires were cleaned with Brake Buster at 100%. The Polymetal Grey paint was matte in appearance due to the amount of road film was on the car, so I decided to use one of my higher pH soaps, today NV Snow+. I foamed the car from dry with the soap and left it to soak while I washed out my wheel bucket and tools. I then rinsed the car thoroughly, re-foamed with Snow+ and did the contact wash, using some TarX in a few spots. After another rinse, I applied Gyeon Wet Coat to the paint and wheels.
Moved into the garage, I would normally dry the car with my Big Boi but being a bit pressed for time, I just grabbed the EGO for connivence. I REALLY need that stubby nozzle. I then grabbed some OG Drying Aid over the paint and glass. Door jambs were wiped down with ONR, likewise the interior. Cleaned the glass inside and out with Invisible Glass before finishing up with some Koch PSS on the tires.
I'm glad I decided to cut short work and put family first for a change.
