    And up there the house doesn`t have a garage, so the car doesn`t really get clean until I get home.

    May I suggest a flame thrower instead of a leaf blower.........

    Usually only a week or two. Then the carcasses float around in the lake until they`re eaten or whatever. I think they only have a lifespan of something like a day or two. But it takes awhile to clean them up.

    And suddenly I`m researching Mayflies. Very interesting insects. Females lay about 3000-4000 eggs each on the surface of the water. Luckily they only have a 24 hour life cycle.

    I couldn`t take the pollen anymore.
    the green colored truck had to go
    Mixed 4 oz of Mirror Bright into my Kwazar foamer and did a grit guard bucket with my lc wash wedge and foam block.

    Went to top the about 1 month old poxy with Express and when wiping the hood i noticed pollen was already accumulating less than 10 minutes since i dried it.

    Thats from the towel wipedown of half the hood



    Topped the hood and pass fender and doors with poxy then went to do the roof and got so frustrated bc i saw it was dusted green already and called it a day.

    The poxy is still slick but the express topped areas are super slick and very good looking.

    Qd plus on the drivers side. Felt paint and qd plus on top of the poxy is much more slick than express on the poxy But express has that nice buttery wax feel
