pretty sure that's why he has Palero for a codriver. That car will probably look shiny before it's even unloaded.

Trust me, Mark. He really wants to go. However, as a business owner, he needs to take care of his business first. Don't worry, he'll go and kick-butt next year for us.

I get there Sunday night after a few of the drivers in that car run---
I just hope no one dry rubs the Civic, or worse, uses a California scratcher on the car!
Honestly, I think I bug-bearded ST Civic will make for some very memorable photos on GotCone.com
I might just shape the collected bugs on the Civic to make an Audi/VW-style grill beard, pending Lugod's approval.

I've seen the way you guys dry-rub the BMW with un-lubricated microfiber cloths-- I'm afraid of what I might see on that Evo!

California scratchers rock!

Just look at the nice job they did evening out the blinding gloss on Bill's Miata...

No no no!

Rain doesn't equalize! You will see water bead or sheet (yes, I said sheet) off waxed surfaces. On super-nasty cars, you will see water just sit and almost sink into the paint.
If you still have old Meguiar's NXT 1.0 Synthetic, you'll see water sheet off. Too many people thought that was bad, so NXT 2.0 changed to a beading formula.
