I spent 8 hours detailing my car today-I'm beat.
I hand washed it and buffed the scratches out with a polishing compound.
Used a clay bar, cleaner, 2 coats of polish and 2 coats of wax.
The paint looks so deep and wet you could swim in it.
I haven't even touched the interior yet.
I feel like I've been beat with a baseball bat and good at the same time.

1. You have created the likelihood that it will rain.....
tomorrow in your area. At least that's what happens when I wash/wax mine.

2. too bad
are you crying out for help? it must be maddening to be so attached to a piece of metal that you would exhaust yourself so to keep in shiny. the most energetic gerbil would fail such a test of tedium

9. You live in NYC and own a car?
Where do you keep it? Sounds expensive.
