Maybe i shoulda ordered a gallon of that detail spray too, but with my last order i got another free bottle of detail spray so i think im good till the end of the year at least!

Next time, i'll consider ordering the focus pads... easier and faster to paint correct problem areas, i predict.

yeah-I cannot wait to get rid of these spots-the black cherry is soooo pretty when it is clean and shiny like it should be.

For what I was spending on a year's worth of those disposable filters I bought one of these:
Garden Hose Water Softener Canister

$48 for the water softner canister and another $21 for the filter insert.

Another $5 worth of water softner pellets from the supermarket allows you to recharge the filter insert for about 20 years or so.

You just put it between two lengths of hose and works like a charm.

thanks I just ordered this!

Try some of the "no water/rinse" washes out there that can be a very effective tool for those who don't have garages/ shade to utilize.
I'll be sending you a pm on this...
