Default Use your thunderstorms wisely

Here in the Southern New Mexico, we just had our first rainstorm of the monsoon season. Considering there were storms forecasted today, I dusted my car but there was tons of sap all over it. The rains came and washed the spider out... no just kidding. The torrential rains came and washed the car. After the rain let up and before the heat could evaporate all the water away, I went running out to clay bar the car. The car had enough water that I didn't need to wet it with a spray bottle. After the last sprinkles let up, I'm going to finish cleaning the rims and tires and wax it to make it look even better.

nice stang...little suggestion, i'd pick up some of Adam's detail clay and detail spray...their clay bar is the largest on the market(200grams) and when you mist their detail spray on a wet car, you don't have to worry as much about rushing, and it also adds extra shine...just my $.02 though

Its from their "professional" line or whatever. I was actually surprised by how big the thing was when I got the container.

no problem...you probably have an authorized dealer you can drive out to so you can save on shipping, or use the forum code which would eliminate shipping lol...but the good thing about the authorized dealer is that they can give you 1-on-1 hands on training
