So after the 605 mile drive home from Tennessee and 2 massive downpours, the ES was OVERDUE for a cleaning, inside and out
I busted out the big shop-vac to vacuum out the interior. I removed the floor mats and moved the seats all the way back and all the way forwards, got into everything. I then vac'd the floor mats and took the d/s F and p/s R inside for a Little Green machine deep cleaning. I then used Hybrid Solutions interior detailer on the entire interior, including the seats. At this point the interior was fresh again, time to move to the outside
I began with the pre-wash and P&S Pearl was used at a stronger ratio, with a little bit of CarPro Lift for good measure. I emptied the entire contents and let it dwell while I cleaned the tires/wheels/wells.
For the wheelwells I pre-treated w/ Alien

Kleen, then 303 Tire cleaner for the tires and short brissel brush and Auto-Fanatic foaming wheel cleaner (medium strength) for the rims. It's rare to see so much brown coming out of the wheels with the foam because the ES is never this dirty
I then rinsed the entire car down and it was beading great, the Griot's Garage Ceramic 3 in 1 spray wax was doing its job after that touch-free wash and quarter wash on the trip, not to mention the massive downpours we drove through. For the contact wash I used Bilt-Hamber carwash because I know it's a HD wash, it never disappoints and didn't here either!
After rinsing all that down and using free flowing water I decided to use Griot's Garage Ceramic Speed Shine as a drying aid...damn I LOVE this stuff

I really appreciated the look of the ES because it was looking R O U G H
To finish up I used my mini Master Blaster on the tires and wheels, also the grill too. I swiped the tires with 303 Tire cleaner, let dry and applied 2x's Feynlab Black Velvet Tire Coating, looking to finish the bottle up and move onto CarPro Blackout next season
About 20 minutes after I finished up it began pouring with thunder and lightning everywhere. I laughed it off and I'm hoping it dry in the morning
