Yeah JT, that clay bar is some work, I didn't notice much change in the look the two times I did it, but the paint felt so much smoother, and you should use a cleaner wax and polish after that. You are going to be up all night LOL. But you will see the difference. As far as the Diablos...you need a good strong air compressor to blow the water out after you wash, then you may be able to get away without removing the spider webs on the outside to shine them up! Looking forward to seeing you again. Todd(Uma)

I took the wheels off so I could polish them and clean the wheel wells. Spiders needed to come off any way. Most of the water comes from the center cap.

I have a compressor and I utilized it!

11:20pm and finally finished the OUTSIDE of the car

Now to the inside and then myself

Not going to get much sleep.

I felt posting 'bigass' curtsy was redundant in my case
I had a saying that when I told someone to kiss my arse, I'd suggest that they pack a lunch and step ladder. Lunch cuz It's going to be a long day and ladder cuz you need to reach my arse somehow. I'm tall

OK, didn't make it to my 3.00 meeting--too tired and stinky and I think I got a tan! Refreshed with a shower and 0ff to work now...

FANTASTIC time today! Final count was 16 HHRs! Thanks to Don for help putting on the billett--looks great!

Loved seeing the old and new faces--the gorgeous Dragon's Lair (HHR of the month!) and hanging out with all the SoCal HHR-folks!

Quite the show of force you guys had! Glad I could get away from the dog-duties to come have lunch with ya'll. Nice seeing so many HHR's lined up and the amazing ability to personalize the cars.

Dorian you are too polite, LOL. Your car would have been one of the nicest there, HHR or not! I just wish that I didn't have to be the one who presented Cheri with her Trophy. The look on her face when I gave it to her...I wish everyone could have seen it. It was special, and like I told her, being a judge years ago, she did deserve it. Do you think her little extra work under the hood did it? Todd (Uma)

Yes, Cheri was quite stunned and over whelmed.
It was great to see everyone.
