ooooh, it feels so nice after clay barring... and also you gotta love the convertible roof, less to wax I just have to remember to do roof treatment first before washing the car or else I get the spray all over the windows and stuff, lol.
Don't spray it directly on the roof. Get a few high quality short nape micro fibers. spray on the MF towel and work in. Problem solved, plus it keeps it off your paint

yeah I did find out if you spray too close to the roof it looks funny, like it soaks in too much and I had some blacker "spots", lol. I'll have to try the microfiber thing when it's time for her spring bath She's staying put until the snow melts and the salt is washed away.

Nice Dwight! I don't think cleaning your dash means you have to replace your cell phone though :-P
