So yah...when I clean my car...I CLEAN the d@amn thing. Holy hell it's looking good (well just don't look at the back bumper :o ). My car was so nasty from all of the melting snow the past 2 weeks....I did all of the interior from windows to floors to the dash and everything in between. Then it was the exterior's turn....got washed and waxed...and all the black plastic shined up....Tires are break dust and dirt free and shiny. The only thing I didn't do was the engine bay, but it was gettin too dark to start on that, so next time.

I'm quite proud of my handy work I love to detail cars. Maybe I should do that as a part time job And I normally don't like to drive, but tonight I'm kinda glad that I get to drive when my girls and I go out. Now that's a confidence booster....a clean car when ya head out for the night.

The Mustang is garaged so it's still spotless...but I've been meaning to clean my truck out for a while now. I've washed off all of the road crap but have been waiting to really go to work on it for some time now. Every time I think it's a good idea, I look at the forecast and it says we'll be getting rain in a few days. Trust me...cleaning the exterior of a truck takes sooooo much longer than a car...just more metal to clean. I may have to wait until the end of spring to detail it right so I can enjoy it looking good for more than a week.

I've taken about 6 or so hours to do my car before....but yesterday I had only about 3 to work with before it got to dark out for me to see....so I really had to move.


And no Derek, I would not like snow. It's all finally gone down here except for the huge mountains in the mall parking lots. Although they're calling for "snow showers" mixed in with the rain that we're supposed to get all weekend.
