Sure... I have friends....they are all made of metal....

I kinda want to propose a Vancity Oppo meet of some sort, but it is hard with # social distancing .

Wash and wax for the Sportwagen. ST got washed and waxed yesterday morning after a wash and ceramic coat last week.

Forte got a wash recently and the truck.....in February?

Nice. My car was pretty clean but then I drove it on a dirt road and then it rained very hard while I was driving it on pavement. Not clean any more, but road grime is the only "dirty" I really dislike. Wet gravel dust looks like road grime unfortunately.

Road grime or general dustiness /bird shit is the bane of my existence . Its why I always wax after I wash.

That way, you can extend time between washes by just spraying crap off with a pressure washer as it won’t stick to the waxed surface as well.

Yeah, my pressure washer is an old and clunky gas unit that isn't particularly pleasant to set up and use but the wax just makes it look nice so much longer. I don't really have the time to wash it as often as I wish. Plant crap, rain, bird residue, and mud from parking it outside does mean I don't get a lot of mileage between washes. My weather techs were the best investment I've made recently. So much easier to clean than carpet.

I used to be obsessed with detailing, then I moved to Maine. The place where good cars come to die.

I polished and waxed the fintail yesterday, a once a year chore.  Old non-clearcoat paint can be exhausting to work on.

Yeah, Weathertechs rule. I have some in the Forte for when I was at fires/biohazard losses. Easy to hose off!

VW looking very good.

I’ve still got to do a full clean on the interior of the courtesy car and fit in a white Mk8 Ford Fiesta ST-Line.

Is the ST line just an appearance package?

Hosing off won’t do too much. I have to break out the scrub brushes and the extra strength dawn to get mud off. If I got to park on clean pavement more often I might want carpet mats, but rubber is very functional.

My brother has some for his car, except they are light gray to match the carpet. Even dawn can’t get soda stains and mud off that easily.

Ye', standard car, with most of the looks of an ST. She can't afford the insurance of an ST, she's only been driving two years or so and still young.

Every time I clean my car I take it on a long trip and bugs splat up against it... I rarely drive for less than 20 minutes which is enough time for the car to get dirty again...

Also my mandatory parking spot is under a tree, and my apartment complex doesn’t have a hose so it’s either local car wash every couple of weeks or nothing at all.

But t hose beauts really are shiny my friend, glorious stuff.

After some tree shit stuck to the hood I finally got around to polishing  the hood on the outback today. That was like a 5 step process but it looks much better.

Messy and clunky with a gas powered unit.
