Well, I have been just depressed since it is virtually impossible to detail in CT. It hasn't been above 32* in well over 3 weeks. I have been doing the Coin-Op DIY Wash once a week (only drive the car like 2 days out of the week which is good).
Today, it got WARM, 26* and Sunny. :bounce If you want to call that warm, but it felt warm to me.
I went to the Coin-Op Car Wash Last Nite and did soapy water rinse over the whole car, then the underbody, then straight water rinse. Oh yeah, I know people said it was bad to use recycled water (this place uses it), but I forget what is so bad about it? Any ideas?
Then today, I did a QEW Wash, then used Rain-X Fast Wax (reccomended by 'Eclipse550HP'. It all worked out well. Hit up the trim and tires with Armor All. Went over the interior...Did the windows, dash, and leather...Cleaned and Treated.

Please no flames on the salty fenderwells. I sprayed the sh** out of them last nite and drove about 100 miles total since the QEW. They then look like that. No use going crazy if they keep getting yucky so quickly. I will just continue to spray and soap them every week to prevent corrosion.
Rain-X Fast Wax is a Spray Wax. It goes on easily and comes off without streaks. I used it on dry, clean paint, but the bottle says you can use it on wet paint (after cleaned). I didn't want to try because I thought QEW would affect the way it worked. Overall, it brings up the shine a little more and slickens the paint. I'm sure I will be using this on customer's car's since its easy and quick (10 mins on my car). Nice finishing touch.
Enjoy!
