Washed my car so.....PICS
I washed my car today, first time i used Mr. Clean autodry and i must say it works fairly well. I still had to wipe of drip marks but no Absorber camois that's for sure. And now for your viewing pleasure.....


























So you know what sucks is with painted calipers you have to wash them too cause they are nasty covered in brake dust.

Also i hate when the tire shine sprays all over the side of the car (at least it did with the 35's on the truck). Yeah Yeah i know if you wait a while it wont but if i did that i couldnt drive it to take pics.
