    i finally broke down and bought a new orbital last weekend and got the urge to use it today. started at 6 washing, clay bar, re-wash/rinse, eat dinner, then wax and polish. 5 hours later and a few pounds of sweat and the car looks beautiful!



    satisfying

    now i gotta do the volvo which really needs it
