Default Shiny Cars!

It's been awhile since I last waxed a car. Wow! Aren't they awesome once it's gleaming like a mirror?!

My body was talking to me about the work involved. Luckily this morning, there's no lingering reaction. Whew! That was an effort.

Loving the result though!

Bit by bit getting my beauty back to her best.

Oooh. Watched a southern California auction earlier in the week and saw a similar car (only not QUITE as pretty as mine - LOL!) sell for over $15K. Whoo! Hoo!

BTW: Does wax make cars move more quickly?

hehe

Enjoy your gorgeous autos...

Sandy

Making me feel guilty but I expect you're getting better polishing weather in CA right now.

A gleaming car always seems to go faster and sound better!

I waxed the one on the right. The one on the left needs attention with the random orbital.

Graham,
What's this? Am I seeing a ghost? I thought you passed your XK8 on to a new owner. Anyway, that car is so beautiful - an automotive erotica.
BTW, my car is always waxed. At least once a week I go over my Jag with a quick detail. The paint never gets dull and the finish is silky smooth.

It is now a ghost. That was the day I did the exchange.

Well, the weather here finally broke and cleared. I may have a chance to wash the car and try out the Pinnacle Shine Kit I won recently.
