    It never fails out in CA...

    The rain, that is...

    Yesterday I did a thorough cleaning on our 2500HD. It was supposed to rain, but around noon it was crystal clear, so I decided to take my chances. It took me about 2.5 hours to wash and dress the outside, and apply a coat of Presta Hand Glaze followed by a coat of Longevity. Clouds started gathering about the time I had finished. About 3:30 it started raining and hailing like CRAZY!

    That kinda ruined my afternoon

    And I`ve got a 4-Runner I`m supposed to clean up rain or shine today...Gotta love those kinds of clients!

    I cleaned the interior first because of the possible rain, but having nothing better to do made me clean up the exterior too.
    We got more hard hail than hard rain up here (Sonoma County), the valleys in all the roofs were caked with hail, it made for some fun ice ball fights between me, my brother and a couple neighbors LOL

    Same here in "sunny" Orange County. Actually had some hail which does not happen often. I promised to beautify my friend`s Ford Focus today, as well as my own CRV.

    Not sure if it is going to happen....
