I used to have an obsession with keeping my 03 super clean and pretty, but we moved and I can't wash my car at my house here (which still baffles me)... So my 06 doesn't get as many baths as she should. I think I'll do an interior detail tomorrow as I now feel really really guilty. Then I'll work on cleaning out the garage so I can polish her because she really needs a good polish and wax before the winter hits.

Gee--I sure wish I had to worry about winter...it's about 95 again today.

Well, it was in the upper 70's today if it didn't hit 80 briefly. It was a gorgeous day. I just moved to CO from HI, so... I'm dreading the winter a little... I'm not sure what to do for winter for her!

i would do a coat of Epic the last warm day (65F+) and use
Hydro after each auto (manual would be better) carwash while drying.

do you REALLY recommend Hydro? I mean, cuz, I haven't heard you mention it ever before, so I'm not REALLY sure if you mean Hydro is the greatest thing since sliced bread or not.

Okay, I must be slow as hell because even with Mystique and hydro it takes me almost 2 hours. Of course that includes a vacuum pass, clarity on the chrome and windows, wheels & tire treatment and black wow on the exterior.
