I'm definitely ready for summer....

I took advantage of the time I had and the really really nice weather today and detailed the car. I did everything... clay, washed, and waxed. I'm waiting for the first layer to dry thoroughly before applying the 2nd. I didn't know when, if ever, we would have nice weather again so I didn't want to waste it.

Yea... thats why i did it today. I figured I'd layer up on the wax so once the storm hits, water will just bead right off!

Seriously, I think it has rained every weekend for the past couple of months
At this rate I'll probably get to detail the car in August....
