After putting my daughter to bed and my g/f heading off to bed I took the EN to the touch-free wash for a relaxing evening wash

I could see light spots from sap and had some pollen dust on it too, this is where my $37.01 monthly carwash sub pays for itself, which is it gives me my SANITY by keeping it clean, quickly and easily

By no means do I like this better than a pre-foam and 2BM but it's just easier because of its location to my work (.75 miles) or about 4 miles from our apartment, in/out, dry and done

I can finally add to this. I polished and coated with Mohs our first new car. 2023 Honda Civic Sport Crystal Black Pearl. We've had it 3 weeks and finally convinced the boss to leave it and drive something else to work for 2 days. Pictures and details coming. Learned a lot. Took longer than I expected. End result looked amazing. Several people to thank on here.
 
I went to a picnic at a club members farm last night. The last 5 minutes of driving was dirt road. The Corvette was a mess! I was out side doing a full over and under and in between on it this morning. I forgot pictures of the before. Here's a stock picture.

I gave the Qashqai a rinseless wash with Carpro Ech2o, it got rained on yesterday, it wasn't dirty, but it had dried rain spots. Took less than 30 mins. I did this after 10pm, I love having a garage to play in.

After cutting grass, got that spring detail done! Cheated a little bit. Instead of my hand polish with TWHS P & W I used Meguiars WASH PLUS soap. Contains micro polishing agents. This stuff is the real deal. Doubtful you can still find it. Maybe E-BAY? Truck was not marred bad, so this was a big-time saver. Stripped the wheels & tires with TW foaming wheel & tire cleaner. Then I wanted to try the Griots ceramic tire shine. Nice product. Applied with a flagged tipped brush. Like the look. Will be interesting to see how it holds up. Then pulled it in the garage out of the sun for 2 coats of my go to TWHS Spray coating. Wheels got the same. 2 small rock chips touched up. So glad it's done. AMEN.

After a long work week, almost 52 hrs, I got to wash the EN today. Hadn't washed it since early Thursday morning, so it was due

After breakfast I went out and did an Absolute RW on the g/f's Cruze. This car was dirty from a weeks of driving and a rainy day from a couple days ago. This RW is just soooo easy to use and cleans VERY well! I made my ratio a little stronger (2 oz to 3.5 gallons), used the IK sprayer and large CG's drying towel, also the DIY Detail Legacy sponge for the car and old Aqua sponge for the tires and wheels. Speaking of the tires we're going on 2+ weeks on CarPro Darkside on here tires, no topping them up and I'm very happy with this product

I finished up by applying some Veros 5 in 1 to the Cruze at the 3:1 ratio and again, sooooo easy to use, even though it's a cool 52 degrees this morning. I'm really liking Veros products

The EN will go through the touch-free wash at some point today, ofcoarse

Actually went back outside and did a quick cleanup on the Cruze's engine bay. Made up 32 oz of distilled and 2 oz of DIY Detail RW, VERY strong ratio but I'm cleaning the engine bay. I also used a medium barrel brush to clean and then level the DIY Detail tire dressing that I used in the engine bay. Yes it needs to be properly cleaned but this is ok for now, I got a bug up my butt about it.

I'll try and get a pic but the sun is glaring out there

I decided to jump on the graphene bandwagon. Car has PPF with Modesta ceramic coating. I applied Adam’s graphene detail spray, and feel like on my black ride, it darkened the look some. So far pleased and will see how it holds up. I plan on graphene CS3 as maintenance.

Hyper Wash, DG 253 on the tires, McKee’s trim restore on the trim, and my trusty 476S on the paint….

Just when I thought I was done buying for a while...anything to darken and shine, I am willing to try. Picked up a bottle this morning and will give it a try. Will be interesting to see about the anti-static properties.

Cheers
