After a rinseless wash, clay and decon - this what I started with

Nice work! Nice to have a (sorry rental company-) no stakes car to play with.

I thought about playing around with the enterprise ‘17 Chevy Cruz I had while waiting to find out from the insurance company the fate of my avant when I got rear ended (update: Totaled, bought back, in process of rebuilding).

I really only made it as far as cleaning the inside and outside of the windows; whoever did it before left it looking like someone wiped the inside down with their dirty t-shirt after fogging up inside the windows. As I was doing the final wipe down, I could only think to myself: This is so not normal... :lol:

Polishing a rental car. I only wish I had that much spare time. I can barely keep up w my own cars!!

I love HD Speed.

9:30 at night, kids in bed, why not. Better to practice and experiment with their car vs. mine or friends.

I, too, like demo-ing new products on rental/loaner cars.

Sounds like a good test run for that $8 coating ;-)

I say do half the car only right down the middle, just to mess with them.

That is probably what is happening. Body shop said car is done. I thought I would have the rental over the weekend.

The rate people have been hitting my wife`s car, I`m sure I`ll get more rental cars shortly.

Nows your chance to test a (literal) speed run!
