Where i live, they are telling the big box stores to require proof of Covid Shots

Patients are returning to Doctors offices & the medical staff are filling the Appointment Book, getting hard to get a visit in.

Trucking outfits still can't get truck drivers

I expect to see more quarantines

Did you get tested? Did it come back negative? Are you vaccinated?

You're old...Nobody uses wax anymore. They may call it that, but there isn't a hint of carnuba in most of it. Claybar your paint, hit it with one of the fine synthetic waxes, and use a bottle of detailer spray in between. Not promoting brands, but don't look at the stuff from Turtle Wax like the cheap crap of old...They have improved their chemistry a great deal. You can never go wrong with Mother's or Meguires. The rest of it...Is all just hype.

The old Turtle Wax, sure. The new Hybrid Solutions line, as good or even better than Megs and Mothers. Never thought I'd say that one day as I was never a fan of TW.

Obviously your trying to start a political war, that I won't entertain. Last I checked this was a Ram Forum not a medical or political forum. I admitted I worded my post incorrectly, kudos to you for catching it. Don't start this drama game here.. There's alot I want to fire back at u, but not here..

Here they are saying if your whole family has it, no biggie, if you don't have symptoms then report to work. Now if someone has it in the workplace, a complete different story, I guess it's a liability. I had a friend that had 5 people had it, so they closed it for half a day. I was thinking, what good is that gonna do..lol

No war here just want to make sure you're safe. Love the Forum members
My apologies, I may have taken it the wrong way.. Yes, I'm safe as of today anyways.. unfortunately none of us knows what tommorow brings.. Thank you for clearing this up. Back to topic, I got the truck washed, but it's already kickin' 90degrees and alot of humidity, I probably won't get to the polishing and waxing this morning, or it won't be covid that gets me... Lol

Maybe his company paid for an Sanitation Team to come in.
Companies seem to be trying anything to keep their doors open


Every time a Passenger Aircraft or Train reaches the Terminal, they are sanitized.
Many restaurants Sanitize when they close for the day

I've used turtle wax for years...works great foe me!
I just used the turtle liquid compound. It definitely got all the swirls and some minor scratches out. But there were a few scratches I felt that should have buffed out, but didn't. Im no expert by all means, so it could have been my technique. In about 6 months when I do it again, I'm gonna try something a little more aggressive and see what happens..
