    Packing up the truck yesterday, pushed a tote container into the back seat which inadvertently pressed into my fire extinguisher which was on the seat. The safety pin had come out which resulted in a cloud of yellow dust which went EVERYWHERE :facepalm:

    Been there. Took me two days to clean all the powder out. Had to remove a lot of trim, including all the plastic for the driver-side suicide door.

    Waxing the Turd to extend the life of the super white as long as possible. Might get it one stage polished this summer.
    Washed and clay barred it yesterday in the sun

    It's currently 22 degrees (cold for pnw) and it snowed last night

    Modern ceramics are far more robust then paste wax.

    This product is what I use. It's super cheap, it's been reviewed well and is easy to add after synthetic clay barring the vehicle. Lasts at least a year.

    I know, the only reason I use this is that it's more of a polish, and it works surprisingly well as a hand polish. I really need to nut up and buy an orbital one.
