Last week I detailed the wife`s Mazda (http://www.detailcity.org/forums/detailers-showcase/29230-black-hole-nr-mazda.html).
Since I detailed the Mazda last week it has rained darn near ever day. For several days it was parked in covered parking at the airport but when I say covered, it is not like a garage. Rain still blows in with dirt.
Despite all of this the detail has held up very well. Since vacation ends tomorrow when I fly out for work I thought I would spruce it up a bit. Also, since I couldn`t attend Poorboy`s detail weekend I figured I`d pay a little homage.
Washed the car with PB Super Slick with wax. I rarely use this soap and I don`t know why I don`t use it more often! It is great. I really noticed a difference when blow drying the car. The water seemed to roll off so much faster.
After washing and drying I finished with PB QD+. Another great product.
I was very impressed with how well the tires looked after a week since applying PB Bold and Bright. I did not scrub the tires as I normally do, just applied another coat of PB B & B.

As I said I was impressed with the B&B after a week with a lot of rain (granted the car was not driven every day). Here is the tire with just water sprayed on it.
