post whor... err

hey yall! lol

btw.. whats this clay stuff u talk about and stuff? if someone can hook me up with sites and stuff maybe i can convince my dad to get some of this and i'll do the SL .. i do have 20 hours of free time almost every weekend.. i love washing the SL

!! btw.. i do get a layer of dust on the car all the time, also whenever my dad drives the car quickyly (70ish mph) and once we park in the garage i find that there are marks on the hood going from the front of the car to the back..

do yall do everything by hand? i wash by hand, shine the entire car and dry by hand, then i wax everything by hand, am i missing something? cuz it takes me sevenish hours to just finish up washing and drying... :P
