I picked up some Chemical Guys snow foam was today, plus a new wash mitt. I've got a handful of new microfiber towels here already, and I'm looking forward to the weekend. The new ride is going to get its first wash since purchase, and I'm kind of excited about it.

The forecast calls for rain Saturday and Sunday, but Monday looks like a beautiful day for some car care.

Thanks for the tips, y'all!




God bless America.

Caution here. I have Bosch Icon wipers on my car and it did *not* like ceramic coating on the windshield.

Apparently, the water hits the glass, immediately beads up, and then there isn't enough water to lubricate the leading edge of the blade as it moves. Nothing but chatter. Had to polish the coating off...

Argh! I washed the beast last weekend, using the new mitt, the Chemical Guys foam, and the cannon. It looks great, except for the roof -- which has more spots than a leopard.

What the heck??

Next questions, of course, are:
- why did I get spots, and
- how do I get rid of them?




God bless America.
