What Did You Wash or Detail Today?

Washed this one and the Prius yesterday. During the summers, car washes become limited to before 7am or after 8pm due to spotting issues.

Part 2 of the RAM wash.

I did a light wipedown of the interior (all door panels, dash, cup holders, steering wheel, console). I used Optimum No Rinse diluted 256:1 (in a bucket) with a microfiber towel. Wipe, wring-out, wipe again. It works very well.

Floor mats were scrubbed with Super Clean degreaser, rinsed and dried with shop air.

Carpet was vacuumed and all glass was cleaned.

It holds up well too, arguably the longest among the OTC brands. I'd put the 3 in 1 and Megs HCW at the top.
 
I completely clean the wheel wells and undercarriage every 5000 mile tire/wheel rotation. And hand clean each individual tire/wheel removing every small debris in the tires grooves. 🤓
I do the laundry and wash the dishes in our house but I draw the line at folding the clean cloths! Gotta have limits! lol


I often get the neighbors dis approving looks hahahaha!

I admire your dedication, that's awesome. Nice work. Yeah I'm sure my neighbors think I'm nuts by now as frequently as I wash our cars.

My next-door neighbor is a Psychologist. I joked with him one day and said use me as a case study.

Man! You’re dedicated!

I only rotate tires every 10K (do it at the same time as oil changes), and I thought about doing a detailed cleaning on the wheels while they were off, but ended up not doing it. Maybe I will on the next rotation.

I get looks also, even though I don’t think I wash our vehicles that often (usually once a week).

I guess it seems to them like more often that I’m out there because I also do the routine maintenance.

I try tp wash my car every 2 weeks Its BLACK nuff said. So I get a lecture every 2 weeks by some neighbor that live down the grade from my house. These people have lived here longer then me and don't even realize that the gutter system in my community is collected and used to water our green ways. I live in a Del Webb Retirement Community.
My local water district only restriction that a hose must have a control nozzle. And you can wash your vehicles! I even use California approved biodegradable car soaps! Its hilarious!

This was last Thursday the 15th LOL

Here we are on water restrictions, odd homes water on Tues, Sat. even homes Wed, Sun. no watering at all on Mondays. I get to water and wash my vehicles on Saturdays sometimes i'll do my wash on Sundays, no problems here as nobody goes by the schedule. People water and wash their vehicles at all times, like you I use a nozzle. ;)
