Default Does it make you **** if..................

you buff out a water spot w/your dress shirt, (while your still wearing it).

I washed and waxed the baby this evening for it's upcoming journey to the dealer tomorrow. Well, I get to work tonight, and what do I see? Acckkkk!!! A water spot on the trunk. Well, I didn't have any towels w/me in the trunk, so I gently took my elbow and forearm and buffed it out.

At least it wasn't an expensive dress shirt. Just one of those Van Huesen (sp?) Sears shirts...lol

That's ok as long as you don't use your pants (while your still wearing them).

Spray detailer and microfiber towels for just such occasions! They stow away nicely in the center storage compartment in the coupe!

Oh yeah, that's normal. Just make sure the shirt doesn't have starch.

Where do you get a microfiber towel?? From Zaino?

I'm a 22 year old cage fighter which is about as un-**** as you can get and I will pull my car over at a gas station just to clean it.
