Just finished mine. I guess I'm third, unofficially. :smile: I ended up polishing the roof, bonnet and front bumper too.

Well, I was out QD-ing my MINI and cleaning my glass at 7am CST, but I don't think that exactly counts. Got to get ready for the day's motoring!!!

It's been raining all week. i wipe down the car every night with a micro-fiber cloth to keep the water spots from forming. It's sunny today, may wash MINI, but was at work til 1AM and am pretty tired!

Took my car out today, cloudy and 32F. Road are dry, rained a few days
ago so road salt is very minimal. Im planning to take her out again
tomorrow and then give her a nice sponge bath inside maybe on Monday.

Washed mine at 8:30 AM that day. It was 55 degrees on Long Island.

After all, I had not washed it since last year.

regards,
Red
