  • I'm shiny and red, too!

    It's been raining in Miami for quite some time now and I have not had a chance to detail the pony in a while. It wasn't raining Sat. morning so I went for it. It only took about an hour for a wash, dry and do a tire dressing. But in addition to making my car look beautiful, I fried myself! Don't let a cloudy day fool you. I'm in serious pain. Aaaarrrrggghhhh! Being down here where the sun is intense I usually wash in the evening. But it's been raining so much....... this was my only chance.



    I took this picture of myself in the bathroom mirror.

        Ouch Till! Yeah, even with the sun behind the clouds, it can still burn the hide off of ya. Luckily I was my car under a cover (carport, garage, or pop-up canopy) so the sun isn't too bad. I can still get a decent tan with the reflection from the car due to the sun, but nothing severe like what you have. Hope you get to feeling better. How did the car turn out?

          Us detailers also need to wear some sort of sun protection when working outside. That can be dangerous!
