Man, the weather in the NE sucks! I finally got all my supplies in yesterday and I am ready to go. Except that it is freezing outside. I want sooo badly to go nuts detailing that it hurts. I just spent a half hour organizing all my new products in the shed on a shelf I made just for detailing supplies. I have all my cleaning products on one shelf, microfibers organised by purpose on another, edge pads and PC in another spot etc etc. Then, I spent some time playing with the PC taking the edge pads on and off. Man, my wife would think I am nuts if she was home and saw me doing all this. She always complains that I am messy around the house but that I am anal with the car... If she only knew


As a side note, please pray or sacrifice a small animal to the detailing gods (kidding) that your wacko brethren in the NE get some decent weather soon!!

Jeff,

Make sure you keep those products inside where it's warm until the temps are consistently above freezing at all hours. Many products do not like to be frozen.

Man, I would love to move to Miami. It would be tough to leave the job and my wife would probably have a problem leaving her family too far behind
