    Neck was a little tender, but not burnt. Back to normal now. I got the permanent sunglasses line tan tho. I dont tan, just go from white, to red, then back to white haha. My racing buddies call me "Lobsta" b/c after a day at the track, my whole head is red (plus all my cars/trucks have been red)...:future:

    LOL:thongue2:

    I absolutely hate waxing cars. It seems I put in waaaay more time than a pro and get far less than steller results. So I always put it off. My car is an 08, bought it the beginning of 09. Who knows how long it sat at the dealer?? I do wash it pretty regularly, but no waxes since I bought it. Luckily for me, I take it out maybe once a week and it sits in the garage most the time. Imagine if this was my DD:cry: I'm gonna try to get a basic detail once a month or so now, just to keep the look up....

    Hmmm, you might want to review your washing technique/materials. That damage wasn't due to a lack of wax. :friends:

    eh, I dunno then. I use a microfiber "mit" thing and the meguirs wash (the purple bottle one). Not really sure how I can mess that up, but I am ALWAYS open for suggestions!! I used to dry w/ a chamois. Gonna start drying w/ microfiber towels now based on what Handz told me... The water spots/etching and lots of the swirls was there when I bought it. Of course I didnt notice till I got it home:eek:oh:

    That would explain it.

    Foam it, let soak 5 min.
    Foam it again, rinse

    microfiber mit hand wash

    Final rinse (or as you go)

    done... or if you want it dry sooner then
