Question is, use Zaino AIO, and Zaino clear seal, or the AIO, and Banana Gas, which I have enough of. Maybe I'll split the car down the middle and use both.

That reminds me of a joke:
What do you call a penile amputee that has lost his prosthesis?
Redicless!
Thank you, thank you. That's one of my own creations.

That'd be 'dedickeratin'. Redickeratin would be what happens when they put it back on.

Now I've got a certain King Missle song stuck in my head...

Yeah, and it drives the hardcore "stop the banter, show me the numbers" crowd NUTS.

As Courtney the NY Waitress said on the first episode of Survivor this season, referring to the touchy/feely/happy/laughing/lets-be-friends types: "I hate people like that"...

Oh yeah, and Hi lotsie's brother-in-law!

And Merry Christmas to all.

Well we're not doing the BIL's(Poyzin) detail today. He's busy, and it is very humid here today, heavy fog overnight and this morning, so things would take forever "dry/haze over". So we're going to do it later next week, temps look like they will be good, and dryer conditions.

I'm going to QD our MINIs today.

Same here. It was 35 at 8:00am so I washed the MINI and the CR-V. Covered the MINI and now it is snowing. It had just been so long since I washed the MINI that I felt compelled to get the crud off. Before RDB (road dirt brown) now CR!

yah, even if it does get snowed on, it's best that we rid that grime off
routinely in these melting temps.

I'm probably going to wash in another hour or so but I need to check the weather forecast. Washing and then awaking to rain the following day is getting kinda old...
