UPDATE: Pampering Vic...

I finally got a coat of wax on Vic today.  Needed it BAD.  It rained for a month, then there were green worms falling out of trees onto it, then bird mess, then little black poo from the worms, then pollen.  Now, it seems to be just pollen, so the car got a wash, then Meguiars polish and wax.  I didn't do a clay-job this time, as I just wasn't up to it.  It is a shame the sides of the car don't gleam as much as the hood, roof, and trunk.  There was a time when they did... (sigh)...
