Title: And the heavens fall down
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 09 June 2010, 17:26
I just go into cleaning my car for Volksfest, I wanted to just give it a wash today and then polish and wax it tomorrow, but as soon as I was about to dry it, the sky rips open and out falls the heavens!

I did wax it with 915 about a week and a half ago, it's still beading, so would I be alright just drying it off after this or even tomorrow, then re-waxing?

I prefer to show that I have pride for my car. Considering it's track record, it deserves it.
