  • My daily driver

    Here in northern Illinois we've had two 70 degree days in a row. We can't let them go to waste and I didn't. I had already washed and UQD'd her on Tuesday, but I decided to get her ready for winter. Engine bay and wheels/wheel wells done on Tuesday but I did a quick wheel cleaning before starting on body. Did 2 BM NXT wash followed by drying w/UQD. SMooth Surface clay bar entire vehicle including windshield followed by a 2nd wash W/NXT and dry again w/UQD. Used Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner and then called it a day on Saturday. This morning before family got up I used #7 Show Car Glaze and after twins went down for their late morning nap I finished up with Gold Class Paste Wax. Rain-X on windows, UQW on wheels and Black Magic tire stuff (not a fan of super shiny tires) and I was done. Took pics in early and late afternoon; late PM shows wet look I worked hard to get. Thank you Meguiar's!
    BTW, all this was done by hand as my old second hand machine died.
    And yes, I am tired!

          The twins are getting bigger; 17 months now. Could never have done this a year ago! Several years from now I will show them the correct way to take care of their cars.

            Sweet shine!! You got great results doing it by hand. It is some tiring work but the shine speaks for itself.
