I'd like to Rick, but the fact is I had sooooooooo much fun doing mine that it's likely my old heart couldn't stand any more fun today.

As soon as I answer John below, I'm heading for my chair for my afternoon siesta...a ritual several of us old retired farts religiously follow.

See you tomorrow!

I can help you here John, as long as you're not asking me to come over and do your black car too!!!!

Before today I'd always wash my car, pull it in the garage and use a California Water Blade to get most of the water off the car. Then I'd use my compressor to blow water out from the seams, mirrors, etc., (the places that are prone to drip for hours if you don't blow them out). After that I'd use two or three microfiber towels to finish drying the car. But even with all that I often had a fine haze on the black paint that I'd have to go back over with yet another microfiber towel.

Today I used just one of the towels that Jim recommended. (No California water blade this time). I was amazed at how much water the towel took off with each swipe; and it did not leave any haze. I had to wring it out maybe eight times for the entire car!

I know you're in great suspense...so here's what I ordered from Amazon (Jim tells me you can get them at Walmart too):

I ordered two but never took the second one out of it's plastic container:

The Mini Absorber Synthetic Drying Chamois, 17" x 13"

http://www.amazon.com/Absorber-Synth...absorber+towel



Now it's nap time!!!

^LOL! I thought maybe it was some new product I'd never heard of. I have 2 of them, but I still follow it up with a microfiber drying towel.

I wish I had one of those big blowers like they have in the drive through car washes.

If Caroline will let you bring her, then go for it! Pam would never let me get away with it! Wives can be funny about that stuff sometimes. See you shortly.

Put Pam in the trunk, or better yet, "accidentally" forget her at home and you won't have any issues picking her up. She sure looks like a nice lady just trying to go somewhere and no nice people will pick her up.
