What's up Jeff Higgins?

I washed the car today.
Well, it was only supposed to be a wash, but I went a little overboard.

First I washed it. Then I saw paint discoloration that would buff out. So I did a little buffing by hand with some 3M. Which made that area whiter once the wax had been removed...
So.,.I decided to strip the entire car of wax with the Porter Cable and rewax.

Once done stripping, I did another quick wash to remove all the dried buffing compound.. Then I clayed the car. Then I washed again, because the clay lube likes to streak.

Then I dried, then I waxed.
As I was buffing the wax, I started going to town on the rain gutters with a Q-tip because they're hard for my fat fingers to reach into, to get a little blob of dark crap out of the corner....
At that, exact moment, my wife comes out and sees what I'm doing.

Without missing a beat, she says "What's up, Jeff Higgins?"

Hearkening back to the box of Q-tips we gave Jeff after the Concours last year....


Five hours after I started, I pulled the car back into the garage...still not satisfied.
