Same here. In Rochester, NY, the mosquitoes have learned to survive and hatch in colder weather. However, yesterday was plenty warm for them. I was battling those guys left, right, up, and down. They got a pint or 2, but I was determined to finish detailing my baby. The whole process spread over 2 days. And yes, I thought about that, too, ... that we might have a hot summer.

Those aren't mosquito's those are state politicians.

Man! I could have also used some mosquito spray while detailing, and I just realized that I have some in my tennis bag!

Good Afternoon everyone!!

Have a GREAT Monday

20c+ and Sunny

hey RiCharlie, you can try Turtle Wax Ice, pretty good liquid wax and very easy to wipe off.

Yes, I play, but I only saw a a few games in the first set. I was too busy detailing my Z all day, and I had a singles match at 4:30. Who won?

you can use Prima Hydro over the entire car and be done with it. i use it on my dd's... over paint, glass, rubber seals, wheels.

it's a wax as you dry product. it helps prevent swirls too when you wipe as it works as lube as well. it's a polymer sealant so it will last at least 3-4wks.

just use it every time you wash and you won't have to really put any sealant on it.

www.detailersdomain.com has it. phil's a vendor here.

the only reason why i use griot's One-Step-Sealant is because i like how it can remove minor contaminants and any haze i have.

i dont necessarily 'need' to use abrasives.
