Default Geez....full body paint is taxing...when you're waxing

took me 2.5 hours just to wax the allroad this evening. Realized had to wax the roof, fender flares, and both front and rear bumpers now.

Ahhhh.....the labor of love. )

30 minutes after I finished...a bird took a dump on my hood. Took care of that REAL quick.

Default uh... the claybar just took all the wax off...

it always goes like this.

wash -> claybar(optional & sparingly) -> glaze (optional) -> wax
