    So it begins!

    I received my PC with the Poorboy's package. In addition, I got the PB wheel cleaner, the PB Natural Look spray, and Pinnacle clay

    Dallas has been under a drought with water restrictions and what happens this weekend? Yep, thunderstorms predicted. Can't complain, we need the rain. The upside to this is that it is relatively cool for Dallas in June this evening. So, I got outside after dinner and washed the Jag. I had planned to clay it, but I started too late so I only washed it. Hopefully, I will be able to clay it tomorrow and start the PC on it!

    I used the PB wheel cleaner and it is great! IMO, better than the Meg's wheel cleaner I had been using. The PB stuff does smell a bit strong but it cleaned the wheel wells better and easier than i have ever been able to!

    Yes you do. This is the time of year us Florida boys/gals show our true colors in keeping our cars clean in the face of everyday rain
    Good luck with your PC'ing. I hope you get some rain.

    Sometimes we Floridians call the rain "our daily car wash"! Gets the dust off:-) Yes, it's hard to keep a car clean in Florida. It NEVER fails.....if you want it to rain, wash the car that day

    Only prob is the 90degree+ temps and burning that rain into the finish before it can be washed and detailed again.

    Done for the day. I washed last night so today I used the Pinnacle Clay and it is awesome. I cut it in half as someone suggested. It seems to be easier than the Clay Magic I used before. Then the PB S+W. Then I cranked up the PC!

    It took me all day and I am beat! I'm about to leave for dinner so I'll fill in the details of the PC tomorrow. However, I must say, that I'm not all that pleased with the look, especially considering the cost and the hard hot labor. I'm so tired I might be too tired to get my Father's Day present from the wife :-(

    The car looks good, but...

    more anon.
