I dont want to drive my HHR anymore

After spending 8 hours washing, waxing, buffing, polishing the chrome and cladbacking the black trim on my HHR and my friends Avalanche, I dont want to drive it now. It is too shiny and its now love bug season so those little b@stards are going to screw up my new wax job.

I guess I will just have to keep washing it every few days because I am not going to give up driving this awsome vehicle!

Scared me there Gambler...I thought you had a mishap with your HHR.

Glad to hear it's nothing serious.

you need some quick shine from moose e man on here. bugs hardly stick and easy to use and works great on the front end.

it wont stop them from sticking but makes clean up of bugs one of the easiest things to do especially w that good shine.

I know just how you feel Gambler. Just washed/waxed Dory with several road trips coming up. Guess I'll just have to keep the bottle of bug/tar remover in the HHR to remove the love bugs.

I'm cussing the little boogers already. I can't blame you for not wanting to drive the HHR! My baby is in desperate need of a bath already.
