Thanks for all I've learned

I mostly lurk - and learn a lot from you all. After my latest wash and touch up I was sitting back and looking at my car - and very happy with the results. Thanks for all the great info and help! From 2 bucket washes to clay bars and Zaino, you all have taught me so much. Thanks!!!!

Nope - we've just had a ton of rain lately. It's been tough to keep the top down.

We were out on old Rt. 66 the other day (heading to our favorite diner) when we got caught in a sudden downpour. The rain was so cold my windshield instantly fogged and I couldn't see a thing. I'm yelling to my wife "turn on the defroster" while I am trying to see the road. She's yelling "I don't know where it is" (darn auto air). I finally reach down, look down (I couldn't see anything anyway) and punch the button. A few seconds later I can see - and I was in the right lane instead of the left where I had been. Wow.

If your roof was down, you wouldn't need the defroster! :p

i just got done waxing my car, and the first day i got my car, my dad was giving me tips on how to wax it and stuff, he grabbed this bar of clay he had (it was old). so he takes it out and it totally just scratched up my hood because the clay was all dried out hahaha
