Well with some good advice from
OG and
CR&PW&JB I managed to get Spike groomed.
I started with a wash. I think I'm going to switch from lambswool mit to MF for future washes.
Followed with Mcguire's QuickDetailer and claybar. Only needed a bit since the car is only 3 months old with less than a 1000 miles. I found I really need to go liberal with the QD. I used 1/2 a bottle. There were a couple of spots near the rear plate that looked like I might have rubbed the clay in a 'dry-patch'.
Dried Spike off.
Applied Epic. Since this was the first time, I didn't really know how thin it should be. I was afraid if I spread it too thin I might damage the paint in the process. Any tips would be appreciated. I was using the thin blue MF applicator pads from DP.
3 days later I got all the Epic off. Spike was parked in the closed garage the whole time. I've been watching the NHL playoffs as well as studying for my Level 2 First-Aid, so time was a premium.
Banana Gloss went like a charm. I'm wondering if the Epic should be as thin
Next day BG came off incredibly easy.
Finally finished with Hydro. That took all of 20 minutes.
Spike looks, he's even got a proud air about him
Too bad Spike rarely gets out in the good weather. It seams whenever it's sunny I'm on my bike, and when it's wet, I let Spike out for a run. So he really only gets the fowl weather. Poor thing.
My 1991 318is got the same treatment. One upside though is that when traded it in for my MCS it only had 48000 miles on it.
Here he is...
