Fathers Day joy!

My wife and daughter got my the DP super bundle and clay bar for Fathers Day- Woo Hoo! I am looking forward to using these products and giving Hopkirk a good detail. I am really looing forward to clay'ing just to see what comes off. I think I'll get some Meguiars QD for the clay bar instead of using the slick to save that for better uses. I think the only thing I lack now is a dirt trap for my bucket. Now I've got Coco Mats and the large box from DP to watch for- I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas.

Getting this excited about detailing stuff must be proof of my detailing OCD

Just wait til it actually gets there! Then you'll really be like a kid on Christmas, waiting for your dad to put together the toy that requires adult assembly.

guess this would be a cool thread to show-off watcha got from your kids.

here are mine... the blue G16's were from last year, this year i got the
gray/black Monaco's. (dont mind the cloudy chop i did to remove
some adapters and tool ends i had on the workbench on the top right... )
now i got a pair of shoes matching my hobby cars.

I get to order some stuff tonight. I got home and had to wash Clara all in a big hurry because of the gasoline pump attack and I got done and there were NO CLEAN MFs. No waffle weaves, no Monster Fluffies, no Platinums...NONE.

Hubby had washed his car yesterday, used ALL the towels, and DID NOT DO LAUNDRY.

My head exploded. Hubby was across the street talking to the neighbor and came back to find out what I was freaking out about.

The conclusion: "Well geeyod then order some more!!"

....okay...

Your hubby is really getting into a lot of trouble lately... when will he learn to respect the car care stuff?!?

Just wait until he gets the bill for that extra sprayer he broke!

Haaaaa I wish you could have heard the evil laugh I just let out!

We have two new rules:

1) If you break something, TELL ME.
2) If you use the last of any sort of MF, you MUST do the laundry!

I pulled out the Slick - sprayer handle was literally shattered, the whole outer handle part gone.

Go to dry the car...no towels!

ARGGGGH. Head explosion that drove the dogs into the house.
