Well, last night I tried to buff off the Adams wax I'd let sit on the paint. Turns out I used too much, and trying anyway to buff it off was just scratching the paint. Even better, my plush towels started to lint like crazy, likely courtesy of the dryer at my current residence, which always blows heat warmed by the flames of Hades even on the lowest setting. So now I have to try to restore my towels and then strip, re-polish, and re-wax my car. Motherf***er...

Come and get the title bitches it's up for grabs
I drove her to the office for the morning then picked up the twins from Grandma's house. After I got the twins down for their afternoon nap I gave my G8 an ONR bath. I opened the garage door to pull car out and back her in and realized it was snowing out. I'm sick of this fu%^&ng winter!!!
I went today to clean, scrub and treat my alloys,
I got to the detailing garage and forgot all the microfibre clothes and some treatment (ointments) solvents.
So I tidied up my cleaning products in a new Gorilla Box, and cleared out my trunk, locked up the detailing garage.
Ready for tomorrow (Today Sunday) depending where you are in the world, ready for a good alloy clean, and maybe a good body clean.
