So it's been raining almost all day here in Chicagoland, drove in it for work and on the way home it was brutal in the NW suburbs. Then I decide to come down to the garage for the FNW and the drain down here is backing up and its REALLY coming down tonight, oh well, onto the wash
For starters I topped off the tires the day I got the rims, scrubbed them actually but by this morning I had some browning and cracking, WTH, thought I was past this, so first things first I sprayed the tires with Alien Kleen and scrubbed them with my short brissel brush, brown suds. Then foamed the tires, wheels and wells with CG's Honey Dew and reached for the Speed Master and scrubbed the wheel barrels and spokes and rinsed down with the Worx hydroshot, time for the pre-wash!
Hadn't used CG's Honeydew for a while but did tonight, foamed the entire car as well the tires, wheels and wells again too. I let it dwell and although the suds we very thick because I used 3 ounces in the IK Foam 9 my protection did its job and it began to run, so I hit it again and rinsed with the Worx hydroshot. The beading was incredible, time for the 2BM!
Yet again I reached for something I hadn't used in aong time, Gyeon Bathe Essense and it has really gotten thick in there, used an ounce in the wash bucket along with the leftover CG'S Honeydew and made soap and got after the 2BM. The rinse bucket water didn't get too dirty which is no surprise because between the paint coating I've got on there and its booster the self cleaning properties really rear their heads here when driving in an absolute downpour.
After the final rinse I decided to spray some Meg's HCW @3:1 on the rims, let sit and rinse away, wanna build up a decent layer of protection on there, twice within 72 hrs, LOL.
Finally I dried the car and I actually used my Master Blaster mini to dry the car, got most of the water off but really concentrated on the tires and wheels, gotta use this thing more often, out of sight out of mind I guess, can't have everything down here in the garage
I'm going to give the tires a wipe with 303 Tire and Rubber cleaner and call it a night, hopefully I don't need a boat come morning
