First Wash of the Spring

First hand-wash job of the Spring...







*Note: I did have the dealership fix the front bumper at the passenger side headlight. However, it looks in that picture to have returned. Whatever, I've already got one or two rock chips in it, and I'm thinking about getting an aftermarket front bumper...



That's how I'm hoping she looks by fall...

You've got it better than we do

Here in Bumfuck, NY, they're too cheap to use salt, they use dirt. They dig it out of a pit, throw it in a truck, and dump it on our roads. There's not a grain of salt anywhere

haha First time I ever tried this. Went to the quarter wash place and sprayed her down with water. Then washed her with the spray soap. Went over her again with the spray soap and used a microfiber sponge in sections (roof/windows, front quarters, front end/hood, side and rear quarters, rear). After each section, I'd spray once more with soap. when the entire car was finished, I washed off the soap with water twice. Dry with microfiber towel and apply tire shine (that sweet foam stuff).
