    Weather is turning

    It was nasty here in PA Saturday! Going to hit mid 40`s today. I would like to at the very least do a good wash and hydro blue. Fast detailer on the interior. First wash of a new vehicle you really get to see what you missed at the dealer. Then time to move the supplies to the heated part of the garage. Sadly looks like my stink on it is going to have wait till spring. In the meantime get all the boogers I find fixed under warranty. And get some mud flaps on it.

    Re: Weather is turning

    Because we live on a spherical object and have a stationary heat/light source that is positioned further south this time of year, and because I live further south than you do, my detailing season has just began. Too hot 6 months out of the year. Thank goodness for OCW during those awful months.

    Which part of PA do you live. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or Alabama?

    As a fellow Pennsylvanian, I take offense......Nah, who am I kidding. You did, however leave out Pensyltucky. With all apologies to Kentucky.

    I`m with PA Detailer - hoping to get my last good detail in today before hitting the PA Turnpike - leaving tomorrow for Pittsburgh, then Las Vegas for a few days. Wind chills here were in the low 20`s yesterday. A tad too early for that.

    Hahaha, that`s not the first time I`ve heard that! It was about 25* here this morning, I think it felt like it took almost the whole trip back home to get warm in the car! I moved most of my detailing supplies inside already besides some wash stuff. Detailing season is all but over here.

    Re: Weather is turning

    I`m always surprised when people here aren`t carrying on in heated garages, I`d simply die (or rather, I`d quit Detailing and just lease Disposable Cars).

    Eh, that probably comes across all wrong/snobbish but gee, I was renting a place where I could run space heaters back when I was a kid. Simply *never* lacked a heated garage after my first winter with a driver`s license. Well, other than the period when I *did* quit Detailing, and did drive a Disposable, while I attended to other priorities.

    Re: Weather is turning

    If one can afford an insulated garage door, and insulate all the walls and drywall them all up, including the ceiling, it is amazing how much warmer it will stay in there even on cold days.
    And then, if you put a heater in there, well its all good again..
    My 18, 4-ft 2-tube T8 shop lights in the ceiling put out a little heat too and that is good in winter..

    Re: Weather is turning

    I`ll have to figure out exactly how I feel about this weather. I just spend 4 years in Houston and 5 in New Orleans, so I`m excited to not have to deal with 100+ degrees with 95% humidity all day every day. Maybe detailing in the cold won`t be as exciting as I imagine it will be.

    Yeah, depending on the area,the South can be a comedy show when it snows. Of course, any mountain region people are used to snow.

    Maybe we`ll run into you at Puckett`s one day. We usually visit the one in Franklin.

    If you get a chance, check out Sopapilla`s in Franklin. It`s incredible. It`s nowhere near downtown, either.

    Not planning on getting snow tires. I just moved here a few months ago, so maybe my feelings will change after this first winter.

    We also go to the one in Franklin. Love their pulled pork and sweet potato fries.

    We were down at Biscuit Love in Franklin last weekend.

    Older- Heh heh, that won`t be likely as I maintain great relations with the in-laws in part by staying at a distance.
    Accumulatorette spends enough time down there for both of us, everybody`s happy
