My Pre-Winter Detail

Alright, so I'm all jacked up on coffee at work right now and trying to layout my detailing plan for the weekend. I figured I would share on here to 1, gather my thoughts and 2, see if you guys have any tips/criticism. For the sake of time on my feet, I'm splitting my detail into 2 parts:

Tonight:
I plan on going to the self service&touchless washes to rinse off the caked up grime before doing my rinseless wash in the morning.

1) Pull into the service bay with a bottle of Optimum Power Clean (OPC) and circle around my car spraying down the wheels, wheel wells, bottom-most panels, and exhaust tips. Let dwell for a few minutes.
2) High pressure rinse the OPC and then rinse the rest of the car with the remaining time on the hose.
3) Drive through the "cheapest" touchless to give a final blast of soap/water and to dry off the car as she awaits her morning detail.
4(Maybe)) Seal wheels w/ my free sample of Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 Spray Sealant.



Tomorrow (My first attempt at the Garry Dean Method w/ ONR):

1) Fill up a bucket with ONR/water and throw in my 16 (250GSM) microfiber towels. Some may suggest using a higher GSM but I plan on mixing ONR into a spray bottle to presoak each panel prior to wiping. This is my eyes will add lubrication to the lower GSM towels.
2) Proceed to wash one panel at a time presoaking with the QuickDetailer 1st and then wiping with a clean section of a microfiber.
3) Dry and seal each section with Optimum Opti-Seal.
4) After the entire car is washed and sealed, apply Optimum Spray Wax with a plush microfiber.

WASHED SEALED AND WAXED FOR THE WINTER! Let me know what you guys think.
