I detailed the Jag last weekend and added a coat of Souveran Wax. Heavy rains came during the week and made the exterior very dirty.

Wheels: DP Wheel Gel Cleaner. After washing, I sprayed PoorBoy's Spray and Gloss on the wheels and wiped them down with a Microfiber towel. I applied Pinnacle Black Onyx with a Corba Tire Dressing applicator. I have been using DP Gloss Wheel Gel and absolutely love the stuff. I wanted to give either Wolfgang or Pinnacle tire dressing a try and since Pinnacle was on sale I went for that. Man am I happy I got it. I like it even more than the DP.

The engine had not been cleaned in a long time. I sprayed it down with water then squirted a liberal amount of DP Engine Cleaner. I used a Meg’s brush to agitate. I rinsed off the engine and sprayed some No Touch Tire Foam. I cranked the engine on for 5 + minutes. After, I wiped down with an old Microfiber towel and sprayed some PoorBoy's Natural Look around here and there.

Dirty Engine:

Clean Engine:

I washed using a Foam Gun and DP Extreme Foam Shampoo. I used the last of my DP Extreme. I have some PoorBoy’s Super Slick Suds so I’m covered. However, I think I want to try the Duragloss soap and since Pinnacle is on sale at Autogeek, maybe the Body Shampoo. The DP Extreme makes lots of foamy suds with the foam gun.

Dried the car with a Cobra Guzzler. Man that Guzzler drinks up the water!

Followed up with touchup of PB Spray and Wipe and a Cobra MF and then applied Crystal Mist (original formula) with a Cobra MF.

Glass: DP Krystal Vision.

Dirty Car:

Clean Wheels & Tires:

Clean Car (Crystal Mist - now available as Souveran Liquid Spray Wax looks good on the car, don't it? Gives it a nice wet look):

Thanks for looking.

reddrawf, again the Best Detailing Report on the forum. Thanks.
Beautiful car. You must have spent the weekend doing that.
Hope it stays dry wherever you are.
Now I gotta get busy...
