I figure that Mr. Clean autodry is like using Cascade on your car. Would be great if it works though.

On that note, anyone try the new Turtlewax they keep advertising...super shine, or something like that?

I had a guy come to the house today to detail my car. He arrived at 8:45 and left tonight at 10:30. No kidding. He didn't even get to start waxing until after 6 pm. Looks great in the garage, I can't wait to see it in the morning. He taped up the rubber and jambs, brought his own inspection lamps on stands and surrounded the car, put on his gloves and went to town. Everyone can drool at Hershey!

Damian,

Half the fun is washing your own car!

That said, can you PM me this guys info?
Be nice to get the 911 spiffed up for Hershey and I have no time to do it.

I did give both cars a quick wash today.

I like waxing my own car...not that I like doing the actual labor part...but I feel I do a better job knowing it's MY car, you know?

Anyone wash their car one day, and wax it the next?? I always thought fine dirt and or dust builds up over night, so you had to wax right after a wash...right?
