Once a week, I use the car wash, I fill a bucket with soapy water, I've got a wash mitt and a giant sponge. Oh she looks sweet when it's all done. I use terry cloth towels to dry her. A shammy is a pain in the ass. I gave up on that when I noticed that none of the pro detailers I've seen use them except for the final wipe down.

Gotta call on that one, unless you got lots of time on your hands. It usually takes me an hour or more to get the job done right. You must be going through the autowash, and that don't fucking count cause those autowash deals are only good for rinsing off the dust. If you got bird on your whip, the autowash ain't gonna get it off.

i love my car more than anything i own. More than my ex girlfreinds ( dumped because they couldnt understand ) I wax the engine bay just for satisfaction. If my car isnt perfectly clean when i sleep at night it bothers me mentally. It needs to be clean all the time. OCD hits hardest on my car. At the NJ meet i waxed my car while the meet took place !!!! ask the people there heheheh ( the one with the popped collar meet )

the rain washes my car. i found that if you drive fast enough in the rain its like a crazy power wash. then when i get home i just dry it off with some paper towels or whatever is layin around.



























i usually wash it once a week and use detailer in between when she gets dusty. and i dont use paper towels to dry it!! i use that water absorber thing to dry it off and microfiber towels when i use that detailer shiz

I forgot, ayougo deals hootch, if I did that, I would have plenty of time to hang out and wash the Mistress. ayougo, you need to find a Bree Vandicamp or something. You and her could be obsessive/Compulsive together. That is awsome, you are definately a if you wax your engine bay. Man that is fucking cool.

Does anyone know how much it costs for a car to get a hand-wash, then a quick vacuum inside and some wiping?
