Prep work: First remove your Car Bra, lower antennas, and get anything else off the vehicle that might collect wax bits or make it harder to do a complete job.
What we need:
Wash bucket
Wash mit
All wheel safe cleaner
Wheel brush
Car Soap
Chamois
Start with a rinse first. While it is tempting to splash on the soap water and start in with the scrubbing, rinsing removes the dust and road grime first, so that we don't sandpaper our paint job.
Stick with the method of starting at the top and working down the car with the hose, this way you save water and time. Spray off the obvious collection areas. Power washers are fine, but don't set them too high, or get too close to your car with the nozzle.
Once you have completed the rinse, start with the wheels first. Use an 'all wheel safe cleaner' and brush them down with a good wheel brush. Soap brush and rinse each wheel, before moving to the next.
TIP: Check the valve stem for each wheel as you go, to insure the cap is on. Lost stem caps can result in air loss and even flat tires as dirt gets lodged into them.
At this time we are ready to soap the vehicle. Start as always on the roof and apply the soap and lightly scrub the vehicle surface in a clock wise rotation moving down to the quarter panel and around to the trunk.
Once you have completely soaped the vehicle it is time to rinse, again start at the top and work you way down and around the vehicle.
Drying the vehicle
Now we will dry the car with a chamois. Take one lap quickly around the car to get excess water off the vehicle. Wring the chamois out completely and start on the roof and work your way around until the entire vehicle is dry.
Interior cleaning
What we need:
Portable Vacuum with attachments
Clean hand towels or paper towels
Plastic or vinyl cleaner
Foaming upholstery cleaner
Leather Conditioner (optional)
Carpet Brush
First remove your car floor mats, dash mats and rubber cargo liners (or other cargo liners) from the car. Organizers, and clothes bars as well.
Start with top-down vacuuming. Begin with the head rests for the seats, and work your way down through all of the crevices to the carpet.
TIP: If you have car odor you are trying to control, spread out baking soda throughout the car before starting to vacuum. This will help pickup odors and gives you a visual guide to insure that you vacuum every area.
TIP: If you have a great deal of pet hair, use a rubber or latex glove (the kind that are sold a dishwashing gloves are perfect). You'll also need a new bucket of water. Just wipe the hair collected area with your gloved hands and rinse the glove in the bucket. You'll probably be amazed at how easy it is after trying to vacuum up the hair.
Once the vacuuming is complete, we can start in on the plastic and vinyl surfaces. Push the seats all the way back so that we have lots of room.

Annuities are important and valuable policies for many senior citizens in the USA. Sometimes, however, any one of us may have need to plan for the future differently. Our plans may change, we may require cash fast and decide to sell the annuity or part of it for a large lump of cash.Annuities are usually paid annually in small amounts and for some people, it may not be enough to support their lifestyle. Many people need cash today to invest in their own business even after retirement, some may have loans to pay off, or many people with good financial standing would rather have a large sum in advance, than having small payments deposited annually. Selling your annuity may give you more leverage for your "future" money, today.It must be noted that selling your annuity, may have tax implications so it would be wise to have some idea of your

The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon – understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.The Hero's Journey:· Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.· Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.· Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.The Hero's Journey is also a study of repeating patterns in successful stories and screenplays. It is compelling that screenwriters have a higher probability of producing quality work when they mirror the recurring patterns found in successful screenplays.Scr

The state of California is known for its high prices. The cost of living in general is much higher than the cost of living in many other locations. California also requires relatively high levels of auto insurance coverage to be carried, resulting in extremely high insurance premiums. While car insurance rates will always be higher in California than in many other areas, a bit of persistence can result in a significant savings.Drivers in California should follow every available general suggestion on ways to minimize their insurance premiums. They should also shop around carefully, as rates can vary dramatically from one company to another. One reason for this is that California law allows insurers to charge based on previous payouts. If for whatever reason your insurer has paid an unusual number of claims, then your rates may be affected.

Waxing the exterior
What we need:
Paste or liquid wax
Pre-wax cleaner
Several micro fiber towels
Time to move in out of the sun.
Its never a good idea to wax a car in direct sunlight. What we want as well is some control over the temperature of the car's surface. So don't star right away. Let the surface temperature cool down a bit before you start.
If your vehicle is light colored and it has been a considerable amount of time since the last wax you will want to use the pre-wax cleaner. This step removes any stains or dirt that has worked its way into the paint surface.
To apply the wax, start with the roof and apply a light coat and if possible apply in the same direction as the panel. In other words, do not swirl around when applying simply wipe back in forth from front to back. This will eliminate any cob webbing affects that can occur when viewing the car in the sun.
To remove the wax simply start where you began and remove the wax by wiping back and fourth with a clean micro fiber towel. Do no use paper towels or regular towels as they can scratch the paint' surface.
Final Detail
What we need:
Several clean micro fiber towels
Tooth brush (to remove any wax left behind in the cracks)
Window cleaner (no ammonia)
Begin by taking a quick lap around the car and remove the majority of any wax left behind. Now clean the windows inside and out using a window cleaner, if your windows are tinted, make sure you use a window film safe cleaner (no ammonia).
Now it is time to "detail" the car. Start at the fender and wipe it down paying close attention for any wax left behind. Wipe down any chrome or trim moldings as needed and continue around the vehicle under. If your hands have touched every inch of the car, chances are you are complete.
