Re: detailed tha Z71, then it rained
I detailed my truck friday night. 10% chance of rain saturday(I checked before detailing). So come saturday, it rains over an inch. And I'm supposed to be living in the West Texas desert. But since I bought this new truck, we get enough rain to qualify as a swamp. I should be getting paid for this. I feel your pain. Sad.

Re: detailed tha Z71, then it rained
I think I would deal with the scratches or chips in the paint than take those off, spend money on new flames, and put those on.

i'd keep it green, then you dont have to do the firewall and other stupid hard things to get at/not necessarily needed. 'should be' a cheaper job too since ur guy wouldnt have to do them things.

I work on my stuff and just put it right back into the garage. I worked on my truck the other week all day and I had to drive my mustang for 3 days while it poured out...
