    After a winter that would not quit, and only 1 coin-op wand wash/air dry about 1/2 way through, Poco got a real bath yesterday. Considering such neglect:blush2::blush2::blush2:, and the crud he motored through everyday, he looked pretty good. Dirty, but he still had a shine to him :cool:.

    His butt was filthy

    Wheels were rather disgusting:frown2:

    I will posts after pics later today, as I tried a NEW product for the first time yesterday, as it needs 24 hours to cure.

    The NEW product seems to have worked pretty well. Here are a couple of pics.

    The roof looks great. Very few swirls.

    Looks good, but it feels rough, needs a claying.

    I'll post more about this new product as I learn about it. But so far it is very promising:Thumbsup:

    Shows how amazingly bad our start of the year was - weather wise - that you didn't wash the car for over 3 months!

    Yesterday in KC it was 90*, this morning it was 40*, and tonight it will be below freezing!

    We had 80 here in the ATL yesterday, and it is gorgeous at 78.2 right now.

    Wind advisory starting at noon and the really nasty stuff blows in tonight... Ah, Spring. :eek:ut:
