But to answer your question. I work at a body shop as a detailer.

I take it, your vehicles are spotless.

We have heavy thunderstorms and tornados here and that is about it, Not much wind either. We are rather boring here.

I wish!!!! Not easy when one is black and the other is beater that you don't really care as much about. The black F-150 is my pride and try to keep it as clean as I can inside and out, the car (beater) I just worry about the inside.

Got two black vehicles Ron. They are a lot of work but well worth while when you are done.

That it did Rick. Even the one I have now looks great when it is detailed. Sadly I cant detail it for awhile since I have fresh paint. Once I can detail it I will be making an appt. at my detail guys shop.

That is one way of getting it done. Probably a better job than I would do. After a while doing it I get bored with it and let things slide.
