    detailed a neighbor`s 99 cadillac land barge to help bring his spirits up a bit after some major surgery and 30 days in icu. it was a daily driver, garage kept, but never detailed. turned in to an all day affair, but he`s happier now. this one wore me out.

    It was in the upper 50`s and sunny so perfect weather to wash.

    I washed the Dakota with Auto Finesse Lather, cleaned tires with Meguiar`s APC+ and Mothers Tire and Wheel Cleaner, cleaned the glass with Sprayway, cleaned jambs with Ultima Waterless Wash, and dressed the tires with Optimum Opti-Bond.

    Re: What did you do detailing wise today?

    I have some new products that I wanted to try and got the chance to do that today. My G35 needs some love so I started on it.

    I washed the car with ONR wash and wax. I then used the fine grade Opti-Eraser with Meguiar`s D155 last touch detailer spray diluted 1:1 with distilled water as the lubricant. I have heard people complain about the Opti-Eraser being real "grabby" and sticking to the paint. I did not have that problem at all. In fact I found the Opti-Eraser very easy to use. Maybe it`s the Meguiar`s detailer spray as the lubricant that allowed it to work well... I`m not sure. I did need to use a medium grade clay that I had on some trouble spots. Given the Opti-Eraser is the fine grade it worked as advertised. I then went back over the panels with the ONR wash and wax. I didn`t go any further because I want to see how much protection the wash and wax left on the surface. I also want to check the car in the sunlight for any marring that might have occured during the claying process.

    My next step is to try the Meguiar`s DA microfiber correction system to polish the defects out of the clear coat.

    I`m looking forward to trying this system.

    I gave the bike a wash on Saturday, but most of these weekend was consumed by house chores and boring stuff.

    Optimum Opti-Bond. These tires have always been problematic. They are smooth sides.
