Putting it thru its paces. Maybe a wash&coat test next.
What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

No pics today. Bilt Hamber 1:30 in a Kwazar Alkaline foam pumpsprayer and the Kärcher steamer and wiped with Carpro Ech2o. All door jambs and the rear hatch. Cleaning up after the winter months 
Will see how my back is today. If I'm able to do the engine compartment. Have the exhaust tips on the Kia cee'd GT-line to be doing as well. Then I think I will wait a couple of weeks more. And clean the undercarrige of the cars. Saw a domestic detailer use the steamer on the brake parts and wheel house. That seems like another use for it

Day 2 on the FJ-
I gave in to the voices, and gave the roof a polish as well, why should it miss out, used Scholl S30+ on a blue spider pad.
Applied 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating, bought it yesterday at a sale, 30% off. Very easy to apply, seemed a little bit harder to buff off the roof, but it is single stage paint up there.
Autoglym Trim and Bumper Gel applied to all the black trim.
Angelwax Vision used an all glass.
Still have to do the tyres, but that's for tomorrow when I move it out of the garage.

First “touch” wash of the season.
Foamed with Griot’s surface wash, washed with HyperWash, and then a quick coat of OCW. (Spray).
Wheels were in need of some love after the tough winter, so after the wash they got hit with Griot’s FCC with a drill and foam polishing cones.
Tires scrubbed and then hit with DG253.
She’s 10 years old next month! :0

Ram looks fantastic! I am a 'grey' color fan, I love FCA's grey, granite crystal metallic, it looks good on any of their vehicles.

The wheels on the rental have been neglected and I had enough of them, especially after a trip to a limestone plant. Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner cleaned the tires and Griots heavy duty wheel cleaner cleaned the wheels. The tires were finished with Adam’s tire armor.

I’m like that about my chrome wheels, but I love them.

Chrome is alot easier than Gloss black, plus the style isn't washed out like it is w/ Gloss black

You think? I always thought the gloss blacks were a bit more lenient since they’re black, so even if they’re a little dirty they’re still going to be black.

I would actually prefer the chrome over the gloss black. The black shows all of the dirt and the dirt is always brown. The only way to clean them properly is with Griots Wheel Cleaner and heavy rubbing.

I wouldn’t trade chrome for anything. Especially when you’ve got low dust brakes like I currently have.
I don’t know which kind they are, but if I ever need to replace them I’ll be sure to ask for the same kind because there’s virtually no brake dust ever.

Probably carbon/ceramic pads

I dunno but if that’s the case they’re definitely worth the extra bucks. It’s shocking how little brake dust occurs. I can pretty much survive on simply wiping down my wheels with Mothers All Chrome.

I’ve been detailing this car today. It’s a Toyota Camry that my uncle is giving to my nephew as his 1st car. It’s a little beater, but damnit it’s gonna be a Clean beater.
Perfect 1st car.
These are the only before pics I took. I dunno about you guys, but there’s not many things more satisfying than hooking up a 2.5”hose and vacuuming this amount of leaves from a windshield cowl.
This is a good example of how dirty the rest of the car was. I’m halfways done with it.
