I need help, don't know what to do

I just finished the full treatment on the Sky..........Clay Bar...........Wax. Now it's....................it's perfect.

Now I don't want to drive it.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How long do you have to wait before this feeling wears off and you can drive the car again.

BTW, just a note to everyone complaining about the Camaro paint, I have 2200 miles on the Sky and OMG there are stone chips in the front fascia.

Run it. Cars are worthless sitting in a garage.

My wonderful husband was up at 5am this morning washing my sweet Camaro so I had a clean car to drive to work today. I do "heart" him and my Camaro.

Try living on a gravel road. I wash it and it is dirty again by the time I get to the paved road. Any chance you would come and wash mine for me?

If you did it right, the dirt won't stick A little detail spray when
you get home and good as new. Drive it.

Becky is right, detail spray, some microfiber towels, and a California Duster saves a lot of work.

Ahhh, so it's a test. If I didn't do it right it will just get dirty. It was strange, as I was wiping the wax off, the hair on my arm was standing up. So maybe electrostatic charge has built up the will repel dirt...............maybe even make the car faster. LOL

I always feel the need to immediately take one little quick trip to the store or something before I put her up.

Matter of fact I just got back from that trip...
