It didn't look cool when I had to drift around a left turn, get stuck almost 4 times, for real stuck twice had two neighbors help me out the first time, and then a cop that was in the area the second.

All of the goddamn roads were plowed except for 16 mile road and my parents street at 3 in the afternoon! I had to park at a damn store nearby and have my dad pick me up in his snow pushing Trailblazer SS.

In the garage. It was like 12 degrees out there then. I can get that garage so nice and toasty that the garage door actually had a layer of frost on it.

Do you use a hose to wet it down or just buckets of water - or just products that don't require water? I noticed that you, like the rest of us, have "stuff" around the car which led me to wonder how you keep that "stuff" dry and doesn't the water on the garage floor freeze.

Inquiring minds want to know!



And, I'll bet any neighbors are JEALOUS when you pull the RSEX out of the garage looking like that and they're cars are still salt and grime covered!


Thanks for the photos - you have an amazing car!

Optimum No Rinse:

http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-no-rinse.html

Before the body shop took it to a car wash () it was probably 85% swirl free using just ONR and two buckets. That's actually the most water that has ever been on the ground because of how dirty my car was. A lot of it was already there though from my dads TBSS and the snow melting off of it. The water never freezes because the garage never drops below freezing long enough for it to.

If it's really dirty I just pre soak the panel a little by squeezing out my mit along the door, or I used to have a spray bottle with a diluted mixture of ONR in water that I could use as well.
