Same here. Gotta watch out for loose carts too. I try to park up hill from any cart/cart corals if possible.

I work at aldi so no loose carts and I do park uphill in a spot with only 3 slots and landscaping on 3 sides looks like its for workers only. It is enevitable no matter what you do someone will mess up a ride.

Personally I see no difference in any product out there. Certainly not enough to get in a heated discussion about. Flaws in the paint. Scratches, chips. Character marks as far as I see. If I wanted my every day car to be show room quality. It would be my show car. My 2001 Pace car 184 (RIP) was a great 10 footer. That was good enough for me. Now it’s my 04 that’s the ten footer. My 94 Brickyard 400 Pace Car 014 is my show car. That’s the one I worry about. I just throw on a wax that will have the highest gloss possible. That is Maguire’s spray wax. Quick detail. I strip her after the show anyway. Then throw on Maguire’s Gold. Strip it before a show, and then spray wax. Let that dry and give her a vinegar wash two hours before the show. Then let the sun do its work. To bad no shows this year. I just moved to Seattle/Olympia WA. No time for shows. The 94 PC is being redone (again).<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p>

I think when I get the 94 repainted and I put on the new decals I will have it sealed and sprayed. We had the paint sealed and some kind of spray that guarantees no wax needed everon my wifes CTS. So far it's holding on. Four years and the water still beads. Not as well as a wax does but all the same. Her paint is like brand new. I look forward to having it done to my 94 PC. Then this thread will be mute. For the 94 anyway. LOL!
