If it is not too dirty it will be fine.


maybe buy longer hose?

I tried this foam type in san diego. It did not come out the way I had hoped on a black car. For the NE, with all the shyt and salt I would not think it would perform as well.

I think if I used the right cloths then it would come out nice as most of the dirt in SD is desert dust. Oh and I forgot about that where I will be working all the eucalyptus trees have these giant egret birds nesting in them so as long as you don't park with in 50 ft of the tree line you are fine. :ugh2:

I could get a longer hose, but coiling it up afterwards would be a nightmare. It has to traverse my whole backyard and into the driveway which is behind a swinging wooden gate and fence.

I didn't think about the waterless. I know a guy who sells some pretty good stuff, Griots.:eekdance:

yah, main issue i had about living in socal was dat the public schools there sucked..little vandals everywhere too. and 60-120min commutes were considered 'nomal.' :icon08: wtf

yah, i use da griot's socw (spray on car wash). its good stuff and highly recommend it :tup:

if its just accumulated dust with rain water i use it all the time.

but as madwi posted, if u see tiny pebbles like debris on ur panels best u blast dat off with hose water first even if u use waterless wash.

i am EXTREMELY careful when i clean the gnosis as tiny rocks can scratch da finish. considering dat, and warmer weather, i just use a hose usually when washing the G if she's been driven in the rain.

yeah usually the prep work is where you can mess it up... had it in the old house and the first time it didn't dry enough and it started peeling then we did it again and it stayed on. pretty sure it's still there today lol

kenchan 04-28-2016 09:53 AM

hummm.. roads are finally starting to dry. think im going to pull out my G in like 30.. runa few errands and a quick drive to rid moisture in my exhaust..

Working on it. Just up and leaving isn't easy without some other job lined up.

I'm a worry wort. Prefer to have a guaranteed position somewhere safe instead of just moving and then finding a job. I'm keeping my eye out in Michigan. Could join Madwi and EW.

When I bought my house, the garage floor had been recently redone. The prep work was obviously poorly done because it was less than 2 weeks old and I could see where his SUV tires were already tearing up the paint :shakes head:

It didn't take long for four bare concrete spots to develop where the Z tires sit - rest of the garage floor is light blue :ugh2:

I really want to redo it and just stain the concrete like inside the house. But I'm having trouble finding a product that finishes the way I like and isn't a slip hazard when wet.

kenchan 04-28-2016 11:33 AM

ran a quick errand in my G and went for a quick spin.. had a good time. :p

so i went to da bank cause i needed to get some cash. i dont usually use cash but the next work will require a lot of travel with my team and just makes it easier to split food billz using cash.. well at least for this middle aged guy. :ugh:

and so i went ahead and earn$pent on a CF money clip. :rock:

kenchan 04-28-2016 11:34 AM

sure beats a rolled up wad of cash with a rubberband.. :ugh:

i look like them folks working the hotdog standz.

lol that's what i meant, first find a job. i was saying decided where you would like to move then look for a job there. i wouldn't just get up and go somewhere without having a job lol

Damn. Was worth a shot. haha

Hose reel with auto windup :tup: not real cheap for the good ones but so worth it. I connect the hose at the garage attached to the house and bring it to the second garage. takes about 2 minutes to get everything put back into place :tup:
