The wife took the truck to Walmart and it came back with a fresh dent thanks to a jackass trying to get into a parking spot, at least that is what the wife says. Lol

I decided to spoil it with a nice bath to make up for my mistake of letting the wife drive it lol. I topped it with some Overcoat. I forgot how easy it is to use and it added some nice gloss too.

So frustrating, how could they not see something that big and bright. That's the reason I usually park as far away from the building entrance as possible, the close spots are for people who are in a rush, or are lazy, so I steer clear of them for sure.

After my g/f came home from work this evening I took the EN out for a little jog to the touch-free wash tonight. It's nice to put the windows down, 70 degrees, a full moon and crank up some tunes

Now it was washed up nicely this morning, so this was the usual sap maintenance and foliage removal wash aka mental health treatment (trust me, not making fun of the actual term, been there, done that) and it does make me feel ALOT better afterwards

Tomorrow my daughter and I have a 120 mile round trip to her grandparents house so they can see her and so she can swim in the pool, so I'll be stopping at the touch-free wash tomorrow evening for a "legit" wash

The one time I chose a close parking spot at a Walmart my car got a dent in it. Never again! From now on I always make sure to park far'ish away or, like I usually do, shop anywhere else. Walmart is a last resort for me if Price Chopper, Target, Tops, Wegmans, or whichever auto parts store doesn't have what I need.

I was actually there only because I wanted to try Maguire's Ultimate Wheel Cleaner, it was in stock, and really cheap. Lesson learned.

Washed with the usual Griots Brilliant finish and 5 microfiber towels (1 bucket method), followed by a leaf blower and towel dry. Car is now parked across the street, not under a tree.

"The usual"...more on the car than expected, can't be out and about this afternoon a mess

It's supposed to get a little cooler out, wonder if that will help

I agree!!! I always park far far away from all cars, but my wife, well, doesn't listen lol.

I'm looking for a paintless dent removal company to pop it out since I was able to remove all of the scratches. Fingers crossed I can find one soon!

My neighbor bought her first car in over 20 years so I decided to clean it up and protect it for her. Gave it a light polish with perfect finish and topped it with 845.

It is now glossy and protected for the summer.

Not always effective. I had to get a door panel replaced because I parked far away from everyone and a storm hit while I was in the store. It was windy and a cart rolled into my door. Nothing was near my car to stop it beforehand. It was over $1k in damage. I always keep an eye out for lone carts that look like they're up to no good now.
