Good evening guys.
Ray the truck looks great.
I worked all day out at the boy scout camp on the new dining hall.
It is going to be beautiful when it is done.

Truck has been washed and dried. Tomorrow should be a perfect day for waxing.

after a five guys burger and fries with josiah i had to fix my sisters saab today. i also washed and waxed it for her. i made her wipe the brake dust off my rims and make me snacks.

i think tomorrow i will wax the mustang, and maybe moms saab if i get some good snacks out of it. andy recommended turtle wax ice for a quick easy application, it worked pretty well although the colder temps hinder the dry time.

goodnight!

What's this wax nonsense? Isn't that the stuff you put on fancy foreign cars?

My truck gets the pressure washer and likes it.
