Enjoy!

 

You do AMAZING work. Everytime.



I don't know what it is but spending a day detailing cars like this is such a soothing, "zen"-like task for me, I love it!

 

As always, awesome work! And as always, I was excited to see a "Detailer's Domain" thread pop up! lol



How do you keep the clay from sticking to your fingers??

 

clay will stick in different temps etc. less pressure would be my first suggestion, more clay lube would be my second suggestion.

 

I need to buy one of those giant drying towels!

 

they should be back in stock in about 1 week.
