Default I learned something today...........................

After not being able to wash the cars for an entire month, I was able to give both the S4 and A4 a quick wash, dry and spritz with detail spray. To my amazement, they both cleaned up and shined just as much as if I had been washing them every week. I might need to re-think this weekly washing routine I go through.

Default Ill give you something else that'll make your *** pucker

you can take a car that hasnt been waxed in a year, wash it, clay it, polish and seal it and it'll look like it was loved all its life...

The real trick is having it look good week in and week out and thats why we kill ourselves...

Default that's why the dealer's don't care about our cars...

that we lavish over. to them, they can get a car off auction and have their detail department use some crap out of a jug that will get them by long enough to sell it.

Default might have taken you up on it today, it

was a rare lazy day with no plans... Almost washed the car as well, and just decided against it, more out of laziness than anything else.

Perhaps, weather permitting, we'll do a small detailing gtg in a few weeks, like we did last winter.

Well, in my case, it's the multiple layers of protectant (Blackfire) doing it's job.
