way to not be lazy. I almost didnt wash and wax mine either. I ended up washing and waxing two cars and a motorcycle! May as well do it while it's warm. Get the wax on before the nasty weather comes.

I just got done doing the same Jon. Supposed to snow this weekend, so I've got to have her prepared.

One time I washed my car when it was so cold that the water was freezing on the car before it had a chance to drip off. The water was heated (was at a do-it-yourself wash place).

So quit being a wuss and go wash it.

My car was washed, polished and waxed yesterday between classes. The week before that I took a stab at the buffer in a big two stage week-long process of heavy abrasive buffing to really light abrasives. :-D
Then I used this acid crap at the lexus dealership.
It is now completely sealed and protected, I'm happy.

PS- Don't get acid on your windows, you'll have to use glass stripper on them afterwards roflmao.
But IDC, it was worth the experimentation.
