Oh god the horror of super Chevy show.
We worked on our cars for what 12 hours ? From 10 am - 10pm

Is now a bad time to tell you that I did just a quick wash the night before, drove through the rain, did a quick WW wipedown, and then WON the Michigan F-Body?

It wasn't bad. Just made sure I brought a trunkload of towels so I didn't ever wipe a dirty one on the paint.

I was referencing the 45 minutes to do a full 1-stage polish. Totally agree on the rinseless wash.

And I'm not anybody special.

respectfully, that's not what you meant at all...but consider it dropped....

It took me 2 minutes to go thru a drive-thru car wash, and a lifetime of swirls! Lol, jk. Didn't see any swirls or scratches on it. Last time I will be doing that, at least in the camaro.

I think the problem with car washes is some are worse then others.

Some change out the cleaning brushes religiously while some have had the same brushes since they opened..

Either way one time won't do too much damage IMO as much some of you exaggerate. Otherwise the clear coat would soon be coming off the cars that go through a car wash once a week for years.

Looked for you Sunday at the chi 5th gen show should have given you a heads up. I'll be at the Glenview show early Sunday if you want to check it out. Lots of Italians and krautmobiles but a good show non the less.

The swirl mark conscious represent a diminutive portion of the gearhead scene, as it were. More trophies for you! Why, they must think you have magic paint on your car.

Hockey players are the most skilled athletes on the planet and its not even close.

Dude I saw my first partial hockey game the other day. Wow, those guys are beasts and best the hell out of each other.
Without a doubt it was more exciting than basket ball and football.
