Stubborn bumper clips that took me 3 full days to get out

I thought i could pop these out in 20 minutes but those Subaru clips were rusted solid and i ended up drilling every single one. Anyone else spend way too long on something that should've been quick?

Man, next time just hit them with penetrating oil a day before you start working on it.

Nah, who's got time to wait a whole day? Just hit it with some PB Blaster and grab a beer while it soaks for 10 minutes.

Wait, you actually let PB Blaster sit for a full day before you touch a bolt? I thought I was being patient when I spray it, crack open a beer, and come back after 15 minutes. I've never seen the point of waiting that long, half the time the stuff evaporates or drips off anyway. You must have some serious patience or a whole lot of other jobs to do in between.
