Was half done with my sisters Surburban when she "had" to take it to the pool. Was able to PC with cleaner and a coat of Polymer on her before she took off, but what a bad feeling only doing half the SUV.
On a plus note, my brother in-law helped, got to show him a few things, and he listened too...
The only thing he did wrong it, he used one of the MF's we used cleaning the car to wipe the windows......foggy...

Today:
After bathing the Maxima, I went downtown to pick up my niece from work. After that, I ate BBQ, took some dinner to one of my aunts, and then went to Dairy Queen with friends.
Sunday:
After Church, I went to a restaurant called Zephyr (Known for their sundaes) with one of my best friends. Then we went on a drive on Lake Shore Drive and snaked our way up to Lake Forest, IL.
Saturday:
Went to see Insomnia with my gf. It will remind you of Seven.

I fully detailed a white, 97 F150 4wd today. Was off from the Plant, hot and humid, last week, 39 degrees in the morning, today, 90 degrees or so. Welcome to NC.
Saturday:
Re-wire neighbor's home theater the second time (after his wife decided to re-arrange the living room).
Sunday:
Spend the day installing landscaping. Tilling, planting, mulching, griping about back.
Monday:
Washed the blazer. I can't believe the Zaino was there under all that filth. What a shine! Powerwash the front of the house. Go hook-up a component I forgot at the neighbor's.
Hopefully, next weekend I can wet-clean the carpets and do full details on the trucks!
