Man, I can't wait for the rain to stop, and for my foam applicator pads to come in. Really wanna wash my car. Got some new sealant and wax I want to try.
I hate chemical guys but I can't argue with the price.

Ohhhh can you do mine too? We can have a mini detailing meetup!

I waxed my car with the Chemical Guys Jet Seal a couple weeks ago. I figured even if it rains it's still way easier to clean and the water beading is also cool to watch. I don't think it lasts as long as they say it does, but whatever, works really well right now. I did autox a few days after and my car was covered in dust, all I had to do was rinse it down!

OH EMM GEE, They have arrived!

I don't like CG because I feel that they formulate their products to only work with their products. I remember using their quick detail on my car, and it degraded the Collinite 476s wax I had on it. I was rather piss when I found that out (the next time I cleaned the car). I can use Meguiar's regular quick detail, their Ultimate quick detail, and Ultimate wash and wax anywhere, and it won't negatively affect the Collinite wax.

I have a friend who experienced the same thing, but since he had some CG products, he just ended up getting more of their products.

Last night I realized a dumb mistake.

Replaced a burnt out HID last year, but only replaced the one. The color from side to side was slightly off but my dumbass misplaced the other bulb so I had to live with it for a few months. Find it and replace the other one but it's still off color. Not gonna buy new bulbs again though so whatever. Save the old one for a spare. Now the other one goes out so I'm glad I kept the spare. Go to replace it and realize I had replaced the same light twice . Now they finally are the same tone and both lights have the new bulbs

If anyone is thinking about using or switching to Comcast, don't. They have horrible ethics. So when I moved into the place now, I signed up for a 2 year contract. Just entered the second year last month, and saw my payments went up a little more than $30 a month. So I called and the call center informed me that the rates go up on the second year of the promo. BUT when I signed up for it, the rep at the store NEVER disclosed that information and just made it seem like the payments would be the same for the duration of the contract.

Needless to say, I will never support Comcast again. Slimy company that has service issues often compared to AT&T. Do yourself a favor and go with a different provider, do NOT go with Comcast.

I should keep track where I put my OEM Osram bulbs just in case one of the Osram CBI bulbs I put in a few months back starts having issues.

The problem is that my only 2 choices are AT&T or Comcast. I've had similar treatment with AT&T in the past and haven't had issues with Comcast thus far so I switched. What can ya do?

Yeah, I left them last year and it was terrible treatment. Their rates usually jump like that. But now I went back cuz AT&T jumped $90/month. Both are trash but just have to deal with it cuz there is no other choice (DirectTV doesnt have the channels I watch unless I get the top tier). Since I live in area I can't get sharks games live or I wouldnt even have cable

I keep all my original bulbs in a box and labeled for when others burn out.
