I'm up to 5 coats now. 3 sealant, 2 wax, and another wax going on tonight. Tire gel, wheel cleaner, metal polish for the HKS, trim dressing for the black.

be careful if you try to look cool by leaning against it. I don't want you hurting yourself.
But I've been practicing my Dukes slide!

Hmmm........my car is freshly painted and hasn't been cut and polished yet. I actually picked it up from the paint shop last night so I could take it Sat., the painter went on vacation after he re-shot the roof. I have to take it back again next week to get finished and clear bra'd.

So don't look too close it's not even very clean. I'll kinda wash it before I go.....I think.

Good god!

Just finished washing, the car is cooling off in the garage atm, I'm about to start the Polishing process.. (had to tape up the little windows on the garage door.. they were making 3 spots on my hood hot still..)


I thought I was going to be good with 1coat of sealant and maybe 2 coats of wax before Saturday..

Way more than me, though I am sitting here right now (just finished dinner)..........

I guess I better grab the chainsaw and get cuttin', then mow a field, then trim the driveway brush. Pam wants help in the nursery, twins are due in a couple months, time is just not on my hands these days.....

More than I do.

I wasn't planning on washing mine until tomorrow. I know for a fact that I won't be polishing or waxing!

I need more time off from work!

Once it's all clean, maintaining it is easy. I can wax and buff the entire car in 20-30 mins. Quick wipe of the interior with protectant, tire swipes, wipe the wheels and other metal down, another 20 mins.


I am pretty quick when I need to be.
