Congrats for being brave. It was well worth it. Even if it will only last 10 minutes.

I am from Boston, but living in Dallas. I have used this to bucket wash my car and my old man uses it as well. Give it a try next time you want to give it a wash during the winter. You only use a few cap fills with hot water and it works great. You wont scratch the car and it will not leave hard water spots.

R, the car is now beautiful!....how about you ? Frost bitten extremities?
Well done mate!

After my cars brush with being traded in a few days ago, it got a whole new lease of life today (finally a warmish day) with a full in-house detail and a coat of Wolfgang paint sealant. I do so like this car!

I hear you. This winter has made my parents a least consider moving down here. They have been dismissing the idea for years.

Great job!! Sending all of you warm thoughts from SoCal...should be 73 today going into the 80s this weekend. Sorry...couldn't resist rubbing it in But, we're getting lots of pollen and the trees outside our studio are crazy with all the pollen they're swirling out in the air. Even after about 15 minutes of completing a service, there's a fine layer of dust and pollen on the exterior surface...that's just sitting in the studio. Luckily, we blow dry all that stuff off and it's all good again.

Spring is just around the corner...hang in there!!

Spring. Funny you all mention that. Spring 2014 is the reason I decided to purchase my 991 in 2012 as I will be 60 on March 21st, 2012. You say, 2012? Well, yes, I had to make sure that it worked so I took a two year test drive before officially accepting my present to myself.
