It's taken a while, but I found a down side to detailing my car...

Like many other home owners, I've got a garage door opener with the "saftey" beam across the bottom. This is to ensure that the door does not crush a child or animal stupid enough to sit there while a big door thing comes down towards them..."hey look....a door..*ugh*".
Welp, I can safely attest that my S4 has a mirror like finish...
Yes, you can guess what <font color="red"><i>ALMOST</i></font> happened.
Our new openers are really sensitive, I was moving my wife's keys, barely tapped the opener, heard the door start closing...waited as I figured, <i>The car was there, the door wasn't going to...SON OF A...</i> and diving for the keys, I caught it just as the rubber gap filler on the bottom started pushing on the sharkfin.
The lights on the trip beam housings were solid indicating nothing was in the way. I moved the car, stuck my big, hairy, pale white leg in there and sure enough, they started blinking and the door would not close.
I'm not washing my car again...
today.
