felt guilty
as the svx wasn't washed for a bit, so i did so and applied a coat of wax (turtle wax emerald series; tried zymol and you can have it, trust me this turtle emerald is way better).
i am happy, and more important the car is happy too. hey, is it my imagination or do cars run better after they've been cleaned and polished?

I know I run better after being rubbed that much
I have to try that stuff, I hear nothing but great stuff about it. I currently use zymol I thought it was top shelf?

If it looks better, it has to run better!

i also think it's an imagination but it's not bad to have this psychology, right?
 i used to tell my friends. their cars are newer now after they spent some money on repairs....

I also feel the car runs better after a good cleaning. I am sure though that it is simply my reduced guilt projecting it's relief. Johnny

I get the same feeling as well as washing-n-waxing mine! I guess it's all in our heads...
Sure is a great feeling though! -Chike Quote:

Zymol looks like crap....
...unless you do the water spray thing the instructions tell you to do . Immediately after you buff a section, you have to spray on a little cold water and buff it again. it's mroe work but the results are stellar.I use the colored wax stuff. so instead of filling all my stone chips with white wax, giving it that pitted look, all the chips get filled with red wax. ends up looking much nicer. does a better job of hiding larger scratches too. I deff reccommend the stuff.
