Rachael Ray says to stop waxing you car...
I'm working from home today and was just turning off the TV.
A guy on rachel ray says to 'stop waxing your car, it only provides a miniscule amount of protection since modern clear coats are so advanced and protective.'
Riight, I wax my car *ONLY* for protection... nevermind the shine, oohs and ahhhs, and keeping my car detailed.
Just thought it was pretty funny...  ... Then again, I dont know any NON MINI owners who detail their cars as much as we do...

Hey, I don't tell her how to cook a turkey, she shouldn't tell us detailing enthusiasts how to take care of a paintjob. ;)

She DIDN'T .... some guy on her show did:impatient
But that brings up a good point ...
WHO IS RACHEL RAY and why is she on every station?
She is on in the morning ... then HGTV and The FOOD Network .... she gets around! |

Well, this guru would advise you to, "Wax on. Wax off."

BUT... let's not forget that Miagi gave Daniel a SINGLE BUCKET to wash his filthy cars!!!  So, right off the bat, his judgement is in question. He's the shiznit when it comes to karate, I give him fair props, but washing cars? 
...
OK, it IS sad that I saw that movie again last week, and the first thing I thought when he gives the kid the bucket was:
"What? Only one bucket? And no fleece shammie? And that towel does NOT look like microfiber! And Daniel's CERTAINLY not letting that wax cure properly - it's gonna wear off in no time! Poor, poor classic cars!!"
I need help. Professional help.  |

Hmmm so because there is now more original protection a tested proctection method is no longer valid.  That is the same philosophy as don't wear your seatbelt cause your car has airbags.
 Some people use some scary logic, I'll take my extra protection yes it is MINIscule in comparison to a clear coat, but thats why I apply it regularly instead of once for the life of the car. Just like I clip my seatbelt on every time I drive instead of only right before the accident.

Or like don't use a condom because you stand in front of the microwave a lot. Keep in mind the same person that things not waxing their car is a good idea is the same type of person that would soley rely on the wax from the wands at the DIY car wash. With that in mind I'd say don't waste your money on that wax.
If you wanna hear a horror story, my mother constantly goads me for washing my car too much (I spray it off at least weekly and am constantly on bird dropping watch). Her philosophy is to wash the car every time she changes the smoke detector batteries and replaces her toothbrush, in October and April.

She looks fine to me, too, Earl. I guess people are so used to seeing high fashion models with ZERO body fat and thighs the size of scrawny arms, that a curvy cutie-pie like Rachael looks "big" to them.....

If you google her, then you can also ogle her. And her name is spelled "Rachael Ray."

^^ Every time I see someone double post I'm reminded of the scene in the Matrix where Neo sees the same cat twice and says "whoa, deja vu".
So is Deviant deja vu like a repeat offender?
