The shuttle will be here in a few minutes, just wanted to let you know that I won't be answering any posts until then.



The trip is going to be a bear, but somebody has to do it.



What a time to go to the Pacific Rim, and some of the countries I have to visit.

It was 60 degrees today, a couple of my regulars called today for a basic wash. It was pretty fun since it was so nice outside and I took my time and just enjoyed the day.

Washed with Meguiars new Ultimate Wash and Wax, tires cleaned with Meguiars APC and WB. Tires and wheelwells dressed with M40. Did a little extra for this customer and spray waxed it with Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax.

One of the reasons I posted this is because I was suprised how nice and glossy the paint came out, I never saw the paint under the sunlight in the winter months when I washed it each week, so I was suprised to see how nice the flake popped.

I have been washing this vechile every week for the past five months, been using the two bucket method with grit guards, a good quality shampoo, good washing/drying tools, and some common sense and I have not produced many swirls at all. I dont think I have ever waxed or corrrected the paint, just washing and spray waxing it.

Nice job Nick!!! Aren't you glad spring is finally here! (Well almost, we haven't seen the sun in weeks!.. Except for an hour here and there! We might as well be living in Seattle!)

Ooops, sorry for the rant! Again, nice work. That paint really pops in the sunlight!:biggrin:
 
Nick,

As usual, beautiful job on those weekly's. It's obvious why you get so much repeat business. Those flakes were a poppin:rockon:

I know how you feel. Here in the North East, we have been blasted with snow, and since last Friday, we had non stop down pours of rain with hurricaine force winds. Major foods and down trees, no power, etc.

Today was in the upper 60's and looks that way for most of the week. Nice to have some nice weather for a change.

Keep up the great work!!!:Dancing Dot:
