Washed the Car
Ah, I remember fondly the days when I had enough time to actually detail my car on a regular basis. All I did this time was:

1. Clean window exteriors with Eagle One (EO) 20/20 and a microfiber cloth
2. Apply RainX to all window exteriors, including the plastic rear window
3. Clean tires and wheels with EO A2Z.
4. Washed car with Turtle Wax ZipWax Wash and sheepskin mitt.
5. Dryed car with Target brand Absorber clone PVA spongecloth.
6. Stopped to take pictures of car.
7. Used Armor All (AA) Original as tire shine. It's not too shiny.

Oh, and I know some people will say, "Armor All isn't good for tires. Sure, you can use it on them, but something like 303 Aerospace Protectant is so much better because it preserves your tire better. You'll still get UV damage with the AA."

Well, my reponse to that is if you have a car you never drive, a garage queen, and thus you never wear the tires out, then by all means, pay $25 for 8 oz of 303. But I've only had this set of tires for a little under two year and they need to be replaced soon, so who cares. Also, I buy AA in half gallons for $9. I also buy my QD (Meguiars Final Detail) in gallons for $15. But I didn't QD any.

Well, I did two spots on Alison's car since birds pooped on it.

Yeah, boring post. But it bumps that "neocon" rant of mine down, right?
