btw, how many of you clean the plastic sills on the bottom? i clean the bottom of the rear splash guard but hadn't been cleaning the bottom of the front splash guards and side sill....well, until today. my paper towel was pitch black with horse and tafffyapple crap. yikes..:eekdance:

LunaZ 03-31-2013 12:25 PM

Raining as expected. Z is tucked under her cover and my early spring weed-and-feed treatment is soaking into the ground.
I love it when a plan comes together.

When it's warm enough, I lay on the ground and clean anything I can reach without jacking the car up.
My FI looks like new!

They last longer than clay making them cheaper in the long run.

Be careful using clay or products that do the same job as clay on your car, the paint is soft and black will show marring easily.

Roger that. Will be looking this up tonight before sleep time! Thanks for the tip for both BlackCherry and I :)

i need to start doing that this season. :tup: my exhaust and rear splash guard and front end (anything a wabbit can see from his angle) is clean...but slacked on the side since even a wabbit can't see anything unless he was under the car.

My neighbours think it's quite comical.
I throw on board shorts and prepare to get wet and dirty when I wash my car. It's a very not sexy bikini car wash :roflpuke2:

:tup: there is that!! It's raining but i have a garage and she needs some shining up :excited: the only bright in my dreary day. :tup:

Planning on ordering some car care "stuff". What kind of clay bar kit do i need?
And do you think i will get my moneys worth from a random orbital thingy? I have never canuba waxed or anything.using the liquid spray and wipe immediately stuff (wizards?), which i like. A lot.

I will suggest McGuiar's Gold Class™ Carnauba Plus Liquid Wax.

I've tried their Clay bar... not bad but not impressed...

Mr.kenchan will suggest Griot's for sure... :icon18:

:tup: yea-i was kinda looking forward to that until mr. Gale "emlightened" us :tup:
