in ABQ. first since small amount in Dec.
First time I get to see the ClearKote Vanilla Moose/Moose Wax/QuikShine combo bead up.
Nice tight beads. Watching the drops roll off my car as it sits in the parking lot.
Beads water on the windshield like the "rain-X" effect, too.
V-v-v-v-e-e-e-ery impressive!
Question for all:
Am I sick? I knew rain was in the forecast for today and tomorrow, BUT I felt the need to wash my car yesterday so it would be clean before it got dirty.
Y'know, I didn't want to soil my "dirty" car, putting "new" dirt on top of "old" dirt.
Might as well start with a clean slate, right?
P.S. My "dirty" car consisted of a few dried water spots along the well wheels after driving through puddle in the street on Tuesday...

Finally! A car that I can relate to...APT's looks like a lot of cars
around here in the winter.
Having lived in Phoenix and Albuquerque as well as Minnesota,
there is something of a 'conservation of agony' theory
at work here. Minnesota has winter which is hard on cars,
no doubt. But in the southwest desert a lot of cars with
spotless undercarriages had interiors that looked like they had
been through a thermo-nuclear reactor.
Here in MN a lot of rusted out heaps have pristine-looking
dashes with no cracks. And the worst salt damage I've seen has
been on cars in San Diego near the beach. The air-borne salt gets everywhere and attacks year round.
You can't win I guess. My preference would be in a warm dry
inland climate. Anyone live in one of those?
JonT, two saltmobiles + one stored right now

I feel your pain F 355 it's mighty chilly over here in Naples, Fl. Low of 53, ridiculously cold. :xyxthumbs
We've had so much snow that I have to remind myself that I'm not really driving a sled!
I don't mind the crust of salt as much as giant pot holes in the middle of the road. Sections of my drive to work make me feel like I'm a test driver for Road & Track doing the slalom test!
How many more days till spring? I can only dream...
