Well, it can't be karma.

I detailed mine 2 days ago (see my gallery) and yesterday took off on an across the state trip of 362 miles. Pulled in at 2 AM and saw the mess of deaders on the front end.

Took out the trusty Mequiars Ultimate Quik Detailer, saturated the front end, waited 5 minutes and with 3 separate steps of spraying I removed the gook with microfiber towels. Slow and careful not to scrub. Just softening and wiping.

Then I looked at it this morning and QD'ed the whole thing before the wife woke up. Good as , well, not new, but as good as 2 days ago!
