Detailing Routine I Take, Wifey annoyed

Everyday Routine:
8:00 Wipe through entire exterior with wet towel
8:10 Quick Detailing Mist (Maguier) and wipe off
8:20 Soap on wheels and hose off
8:30 Drive off to work with a BIG SMILE

Weekly Routine: Sunday
Washing with Maguier Shampoo and Conditioners
Cleaner Wax (again Maguier)
Black Vinyl and Rubber (Maguier) on black plastic part
Tire Gel (Amoral All)
Vacumm interior
Maguier Leather Conditioner
Maguier Interior Detail

Never got tired detailing, my wife said I am obssessed with the X. Hmm, maybe she is right. But whatever she said, I keep my detailing going STRONG...Well to give you an idea, this is how my X looks EVERYDAY 24/7. Nothing stick to my X more than 24hrs. Darn my wife is right.

hmmm.. want to come over & do mine? jk ...

I hand wash mine 1-2x week & then 1x professionally. Lot of work to keep black shiny in the dusty desert. It was raining today & my wheels were looking dingy (can't have dirty wheels) & I was the only one at the car wash ... had the place to myself .....

That is a gorgeous machine! I am impressed. Tell your wife that it is the most innocuous obsession a man can have!

Thats really nice! Hey since you find yourself wiping it down everyday I really suggest trading in the wet towel for some Poorboy's Spray N Wipe. Its a waterless wash qd that works better than water. I used to use it every day (my obsession has died down, but the detailer in me lives on). It helps in cleaning and leaves less marring behind than a wet towel.

Just a thought.

This is not a miracle product, but it helps in your task... I see that you're fanatic about your detailing, and this just might make it easier.

There are a lot of reviews and memebers that love it over at www.autopia.org and www.detailcity.org .

Man my post sounds like I work for PB.

Joy
