I need to get some of these other PFM's and investigate
Now just to be clear, are these the plush, edgeless ones from Griot's Garage that cost about $30 for a 6 count

It's now outside drying out.
End result was good but I’m not feeling especially “therapeutized”
Hope your detailing Sunday is better

Yeah it looks Chilly! The humidity didn't help with the Wet Wax, less is more, let see how it goes down next timeI decided to see how many ways I could fail on a “therapeutic” Sunday maintenance wash
I got all my buckets and stuff sorted last night
Washing outside here is a balancing act between the sun and the wind blowing red dirt everywhere and I start right after sunrise and sadly tend to rush through a wash
Today started out calm and cloudy
First fail was playing chemist and putting a capful of ONR in my gallon of pre-mixed foam cannon soap because I saw it suggested
The “foam” came out like milk and ran off the truck faster than I could spray it on
I dumped the soap and rinsed the cannon and put in my 4oz of Gold Class and made shaving cream
I foamed her up, let it dwell, agitated emblems and such, and rinsed her off
I would be ashamed to tell you how long it’s been on the truck but my 3D Poxy topped with OSW is still going fairly strong
I use a 1 bucket multi mitt contact wash and did half the roof and grabbed for another mitt and saw this
Obviously the handle has deteriorated and there were bits in the mitts
I got mad because all 8 of my mitts were in the bucket and I wasn’t going to try and pick out bits of plastic and hope I didn’t miss one
My contact wash went down the drain so I just gave it one more foaming and a third rinse and broke out the blower and drying towels
Fail 3 was trying to finish up my OSW so I could try my HS Wet Wax
It’s pretty humid today and 2 sprays per panel turned into 4-5 sprays so of course I made a streaky mess of things and doubled my drying time and used towel count
End result was good but I’m not feeling especially “therapeutized”
Hope your detailing Sunday is better
Cheers

It was the Optimum Spray Wax I was overusing
I KNEW I was using too much, especially given the humidity
I was just trying to burn it up so I could try the HS Wet Wax
I hate having lots of almost empty bottles of stuff laying around so I try to use it all unless it’s just garbage then I don’t hesitate to toss it
I will break out the Wet Wax next time

The last 2 times I washed the FJ just happened to be on a Tuesday morning as the guy who empties the recycling bins was driving by, he even stopped and commented that I was doing that last time he picked up. I just told him, when it's dirty, you gotta wash it. He laughed and drove off. I'll have to avoid doing it next Tuesday.Fantastic day for detailing, sunny sky's and 21 deg C / 70 deg F, would have been rude not to.
Maintenance washes for the Mustang and Ranger, trying out a few things in the process.
Also first use of Meguiar's Hyper Dressing.
With everyone in Victoria under lockdown, I have been having an audience while I detail, me giving entertainment the young mother and her newborn sitting on their porch. :laughing:
