I've contemplated buying that last time I was at autozone picking up some stuff...does it really give a gloss/wax shine as if you did the hand application stuff?

mind taking a pic or two next time you wax with it?

Thanks man

BTW....with regards to the California Duster....I have one, ....er HAD 1....,but had never used it..............YIKES!!!!!! WAT A MESS......

I used it to dust off my car before putting the cover on.....when I drove out my garage, the windows were a mess........

The substance on the duster left a residue which the cover transferred to the glass when I fit it to the car....I ended up washing the car and the cover and giving the duster away.....no more mess for me.

Nothing like good ole' soap and water.

For me it depends on the weather, but I wash once every two weeks. Usually takes about 2 to 3 hours. If I do a really maticulous job it can take 4 to 5 hours.
