Gettin old...take 2

I got a page cannot be displayed error when I originally tried to post this... lets try again .

Had something that looks like brown paint splattered all over the car. Somebody musta been leaking something while I was behind them. I had to break out the clay bar to get it off. Talk about scrubbing!

I figured I might as well do the Meguires 1,2 and #26 wax while I was at it. I finished a couple of hours ago and I'm hella sore now. Feel like I ripped something in my shoulder. WTF, I'm not supposed to feel like this in my 20s. Ah, well... the max looks like a champ now. Well worth the effort.

Just wait until you spend a full day of polishing and waxing and you into your 40s. I'll take weeks for you to recover !

Having said that, its a good feeling to look at your finished masterpiece isn't it ?

Please tell me that you really didn't scrub that hard with a clay bar. You're not to apply too much pressure when claying the car.

No, I didn't apply alot of pressure but it did take a bunch of back and forth. That paint was on there good... and all over the car!

Yeah, but then I go and drive it to the beach today... and what do ya know... its dirty again . At least the drive was fun. I ran through some patches of rain coming and going but never anything hard enough to make me roll the windows up and close the sunroof .
