    First time trying PO85RD on a full detail. I knew it'd be good, but it totally blew me away!

    Sponges also kinda suck to use to wash cars. Back to sheepskin mitts for me.

    I've never felt so much buffer hop since I've gotten my 3M backing plate. I'm going to hope I never get these anymore!

    Wash and Dry
    Zymol sponge
    Grit guard
    CG CWG
    DI Waffle Weave Microfiber drying towel
    Swissvax detail brush

    Clay
    Sonus Green Clay Bar
    diluted CG CWG as clay lube - i ran out of quik shine

    rewash after claying with car soap

    Wheels and Tires
    P21S TAW - on tires
    P21S Wheel Gel - on wheels
    EZ Detail Brush
    Jetseal 109
    Swissvax Wheel brush
    Swissvax Pneu - tire dressing
    Foam sponge - to apply dressing

    Engine Bay
    5:1 diluted CG Grime Reaper
    Swissvax detail brush
    CG Fade2black

    Vehicle looks great, nice turn around.

    Just curious, what was your experience with the Zymol sponge?

    thanks!

    the zymol sponge is pretty soft and soaks up a lot of water/suds. it glides off the paint very easily, but it doesn't compare to the sheepskin mitts. I think it'd be great for ONR washes, which is what I'm going to try next.

    thanks p1et!
