I washed my ST. Even did the wheels. Didn't have time to wax though :( Maybe I'll wake up mega early and do it before I head over.

I'm going to do a combo wash & wax later on the 600 to pull the dirt out of the paint, and I promise to also touch the wheels. I'm really bad about cleaning the wheels on it. The top is also really bad. I may have given someone the plague putting it up once, because it was so damn dusty.

Upside down when I expand it. Not now though. Hmmmm...Kinja, come here. I wish to speak with you.

Hahaha. Yeah I really wanted to go full out and clay it, but goddamn I just didn't have time :( Should still have some wax on it from earlier this summer

Your wheels will be covered in brake dust as soon as you back out of your driveway. This happens to me all the time in my ST.

I feel your pain. Last weekend I went up to New Glarus, WI to camp out and tour the brewery. I was buying some firewood at a gas station and this guy asked me if I wanted some free firewood. I said hell yes and followed him a few miles out of town through dusty dirt roads flanked by cornfields and decrepit old barns. With the seats completely folded down I filled the entire hatch with firewood. When all of the wood was out of the hatch it looked like somebody with one of those big woodchippers chipped up an entire tree into my car. So when I got back home Monday night I made sure I could completely vacuum the inside, condition the leather seats and wash the layer of dust that felt like a layer of concrete film on the surface of the paint (probably because of morning dew). After about 5 hours of washing my car I put it in the garage. The very next morning it rained ALL DAY, I am seriously thinking of using you for inspiration to get off my ass and wash it again today.
