when dinosaurs roamed the earth...

I'd hand wash using a wheel brush and a
wand attached to the hose w/a brush attached thru which the water flowed.

Dried thoroughly w/a real chamois cloth, then hand applied two coats
of Carnauba wax, working on 1/4 of the car at a time and hand polished
each coat.

This all took quite a while.

Now I do both home and, I support a friend who owns a pair of car washes...
