Default Progress from this winter

I wanted to share my progress I have made on my car. I also clay barred it yesterday getting ready for a cruise in tonight. Hada good time untill a lady tells me I have a nice car as she goes to touch it she hits it with her wedding rings scratching my paint.

Looks good. Why do people have to touch?

I saw a sticker once on a classic car:

Unless naked do not touch this car.

It was low and to the back of both door windows.

Thanks all. I think the scratch will buff out, but yeah I have no idea why people need to touch.

It's because you realize what can happen by touching a car that causes you to think that way. (I would always wince when someone touched the (fuel) tanks on my 1974 gloss black Harley Davidson....because I knew that those 15 fresh dust particles would be smeared into the wax---or possibly the paint )

I would consider it an honor to be able to touch a great car that I admire........

but my respect for the owner and the work he has invested in the car causes me to cross my arms when looking at a masterpiece.
