What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Rinsless wash. Been trying pretreat with surfactant based and contact with Polymer/hybrid.

Idrosave and Pure v1 were the candidates. Liked this combo. Had a sample bottle of Griots best of show detailer that suppose to be good in the sun so final wipe with that.

Griots Ceramic tire for the tires

Interior deep clean with P&S Xpress and leather honey for the seats.

Through a squash bio bomb in there. If it last for the 60 days then it’s a winner. Smells great

Did you hit a curb
 
2B wash for the FJ today, used Mother's California Gold, I think I've had this bottle about 15 years. It was still very lubricious and it cleaned well, not too far off Reset. It was very thick and gloopy when pouring, but it is winter here.

Dried with my big twisted loop towel inside the garage, used an old synthetic chamois for inside the door jams.PSX_20250616_161626.jpg

This is new, no idea when it happened.PSX_20250616_161437.jpg

Disappeared it with some Dodo Juice Lime Prime using a foam ball in my compact drill, one of those new Shine Mate EB212 polishers would be perfect for a job like this.

50 seconds in the microwave will fix the gloopy ness
 
The Ryobi came in today along with some other goodies I bought to go with it. After watching a video on it again, I’ve realized I have bought the incorrect replacement hose. I should have bought a 3/8 instead of 1/4. So, new order placed for the correct hose and the other one is going back. From the testing the guy did, the 3/8 allows slightly more psi, more gpm and less amp draw. The 3/8 was only $12 more, so might as well.

Until I figure out a double Ryobi setup…. Danged rabbit holes.

Which 3/8 hose did you end up going with? For some people the extra weight of a steel braided 3/8 hose vs the 1/4 uberflex hose is not worth the extra performance but if you want to get the absolute most out of the unit then yeah a 3/8 hose is the way to go.

Also, did you end up purchasing a swivel gun?

I bought an Uberflex commercial 3/8.


As for the swivel gun, I’m trying an Amazon special that had good reviews that’s similar to the SGS28 and if it fails I’ll just fork the extra money for the SGS28 or the McKillans

Ah ok I was eyeballing that hose recently. Let us know how you like it. Currently running a 50 ft 3/8 steel braided essential washer hose and my only complaint is it is on the heavier side. Btw, it looks like that is the hose only and no quick connect fittings? Or is it just the picture?

I purchased that same gun recently and am impressed with it. The swivel is super smooth and fluid. Can't beat it for the price.

I was on the fence about the spray gun. Glad it’s decent.

Yeah, I ordered some quick connect fittings in hopes that it will fit that. If not I’ll have to do more research and get the correct ones. It was better to pay that as opposed to paying the $115 for the one with fittings.
 
Applied the Dodo Juice Supernatural Hybrid Wax to the FJ today, but only on the silver paint, I put some NV Jet on the roof. As much as enjoy the waxing process, doing the roof is hard work, and the single stage white works really well with Jet. I only bought a small panel pot, and I was curious to see how much I used. I applied it very thin, and it buffed off very easy with one of the Creatures I ordered with it. I barely used any, but I did manage to put a hole in my hand working around the rear wiper blade.PSX_20250617_160322.jpgPSX_20250617_160125.jpgPSX_20250617_160438.jpg

After that I thought I'd give the Nextzett Glass Sealant a go. The scent is very similar to Rain-X, but not identical. I was only going to apply it to the windshield, but it was very easy to apply so I did all the external glass, even the mirrors. I wiped all the glass down with Carpro Eraser before applying it. Instructions said to apply with a paper towel, which was very easy, very Rain-X like, and to buff off it said to moisten an MF, but here I diverged from the instructions, I moistened a couple of paper towels, which worked great, I wanted to avoid "micro-lint". Could be my imagination, but there appeared to be a visible difference on the windshield. It was just as easy to apply on the rest of the glass, but a little bit harder to buff off, but not too difficult, also it didn't change the look of the rest of the glass in the same way, maybe because of the tint.
