I limit how much washing I do on my own because I see the flaws up close and they increase in number as time moves towards infinity, solve for y.

Who does the dry off/finish work? At the place where I get my cars washed, the finish work alone takes 15 to 20 minutes.

Any car that gets washed regularly, even with the 2 bucket method and utmost care, will have some swirl marks.

I don't mind folks disparaging California. We have our problems, but living here is like living in paradise. For someone from Florida--I mean FLORIDA, PLEASE!!!--to say anything negative about CA, is just plain jealousy--but certainly understandable.
Ah. Should be about 73 degrees today along the coast here in beautiful Newport Beach, with little humidity. I think I'll take the SL for a top down drive to breakfast! You watch out for those bugs, "bro!"

Years ago, I flew to Orlando for a convention. It was dusk when I got into a taxi at the airport and I noticed these "birds" swarming around those really tall highway lights. I asked the driver why those "birds" we're acting like that and he said "those are not birds mister, those are BUGS!

Enjoy your roads and make sure your lovely SL rolls on a set of tires that handle wet roads well.

I have never lived anywhere in my life where I had so many of these great moments. Sunny and 73 in January. Foggy mornings/dusk in June (oh well), but sunny the rest of the time. Sunny and 73 in September. In the summer, down to 65 every night in the Peoples' Republic of Santa Monica!

called Chadwicks and is local to me
The detailer always comes on Saturday to do a neighbors car as I do mine also. I started to chat with him and he showed me his product that uses no water. He wanted to try a section on mine and I was hesitant as I have a black car and is spotless.
Needless to say I was very impressed as he did my whole car. I did not buy it as I love to detail my own car with water on Saturday. Stress relief!
But here is website and would use it if I had restrictions
