sprayon waxed my hobby cars, slicked the wheels, washed both dd's,
cleaned the interior. took about 2hrs total. was nice therapy.

oil levels on both my G and MCS. (did oil changes).

Probably about the same number as the "I lost my virginity and right to wear a white wedding dress in the back seat of my boy friend's Dad's Crown Vic Club"

HEY! I resemble that remark.

As does my wife.

btw, i tried the neverkink hose today... it does not kink as advertised...
but the hose needs to be broken in a little. thing is pretty stiff and
stubborn to work with. hope it softens up a little bit.

so i LeatherCare sprayed my G's leather seats and afterwards decided to
do another app of BW on my MCS's arches. my hands were super slick
from the LeatherCare and i again dropped another bottle onto my
concrete garage floor. akk, not again... this time, BW.

the bottle did not shatter, but beheaded itself by the black lid. lol
good thing BW's a thick formula cause i only lost like maybe an oz of
product. the funny is that the black lid just screwed back
on. did not shatter like prima's sprayhead.

just today i got through one 35oz bottle of SprayOn wax so going to
order a gallon of that stuff (got another fresh 35oz) and use that
empty bottle for Hydro.

I hate the 35 oz Griot's sprayers. Love the huge bottles, hate the sprayers.

why do you hate it? it sprays evenly and wide as it should. imho,
that's how sprayers should spray on large panels.

i also like the fact that it's not too fine and misty. light wind takes
those fine mists and ends up on glass.


for glass and dressing, the finer mist is okay.

The weather has warmed back up here, so I'm off to the Vets to finish his Mazda, then bring his Cabrio back here. Probably going to take 2 days to get it done.

actually the griot's bottles are, i think, even fatter and shorter.
those zep bottles are 32oz, where as griot's is 35oz and appears
shorter.


talking of griots, they now send out tracking info via email!
woohoo~! welcome to the late 90's...
got a few stuff coming in... gallon of carwash, gallon of SprayOn wax,
gallon of SpeedShine, some other gallons of something, and something
else. i cant remember wat i ordered by it's all good stuff.

Had a meeting today less than a mile from DP's and just had to swing in and stock up on some Swirl for an upcoming detailing/ stripe install session. Heather and Nick were most helpful as usual. Thanks to both of them.

Yup, Canuck issue floor mats. Those are a little different, mine are all circles, no flat area. I really like them, their tough ase tractor tires, mine are 5 years old, look like new when clean, and if water does get on them it stays in the circles, doesn't slosh around. Great choice
