That's a great spot for stickers! Never thought of that.

Mine has been out of it’s garage for almost 3 months and is filthy right now.

I do better than that, I clean here, too.

This car had 155K on it.

It’s upsetting to open someone’s trunk and see years worth of pollen, leaves, and gook in the jambs. :(

Mine are incredibly dirty. What do you recommend?

I don’t like seeing what’s in other people’s trunks

Juvenile lamb. Your car doesn’t come with these as an option?

APC diluted for exterior use/microfiber followed by a spray detailer if the APC cleans up most of it. You can also hit it with some wax for extra protection after

lambs are already juvenile.

It’s one of those words that look wrong. Even when they’re right.

I finally broke down an put an M colors OPPO sticker on one of my side windows, but I had none visible for a long time.

Sure enough. I feel far less intelligent now, but I also learned something new.

I always thought lamb was just another name for sheep, not specifically young sheep.

Mine was covered in bugs from 14 hours on the road to and from Lone Star Le Mans - had to get them off!

Well done, sir.

My engine bay really needs some TLC.

I think if it’s cooked and on a plate it’s used almost universally. I’ve definitely eaten mutton passed off as lamb before.

I've wipe mine pretty much whenever I wash it, so a damp microfiber usually does the job. I'd guess soapy water and elbow grease would do the job.

Thanks. After years of no external stickers, I folded an put an M colors OPPO sticker on one of the side windows.

Mine does not get its jambs cleaned. It's lucky to get an auto car wash.

I don’t even wash my car any more. Between severe drought, punitive water bills, and constant ash from nearby fires lately, there’s no point. California life, yo.

Got one of them dusters?

RallyWrench > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 09/21/2016 at 23:32

I do, but when I come out in the morning it’s covered in condensation and dust from being parked in the driveway on a breezy, sandy street near a particularly dirty oak tree. One night and it’s done. In this respect I liked my old Outback more than the 325iT. Subarus are supposed to be dirtbag cars. It’s also the only reason I’m glad I have to sell the 325, because I do feel bad that I can’t keep it clean. I’m over having cars I care about as a daily driver, unfortunately I don’t have time or money for that at this point in life.

That sucks... I'm spoiled - garage at home and at work, so I can keep mine in good shape for days, maybe even a couple weeks at a time.

I like the door jam location for stickers. You get to enjoy stickers on your car but not travel around looking like you’re enroute to the nearest vape shop.

Because it's a beat up pos that I originally paid $300 for. Solid reason right?

Pretty solid. Hope you have one to love before long!

I always clean my door and trunk jambs, but almost always forget to clean here.

That’s what I like to hear. Definitely don’t have to clean jambs to love a Jeep, just use it for what it was built for every once in a while! I make sure my car gets a good, long workout at the track or in the Arkansas Ozarks at least a few times a year.

Will that remove water spots?

Rico > wiffleballtony 09/22/2016 at 12:23

Cleaner wax should definitely remove them, try Meguiar’s since it’s dirt cheap and readily available over the counter in most auto stores.

Someday perhaps I’ll have a garage for my daily, but at least I have one for the projects. The price I pay, I guess.

If you don’t clean the door jambs AND the fender liners it’s not really clean! It’s one of those things that if they are clean you sort of over-look but if they are dirty they make an otherwise spotless car look half assed.

Fender liners - now we’re getting serious!

KeedyT > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 09/22/2016 at 17:23

It’ll change your world man! ;-)

I have 3 cleaning mitts, 1 for the body, an older one for the wheels and door jambs and a 3rd grungy one I use on the tires and fender liners. Then 2 absorbers, one for the body and one for the wheels/jambs. And I’m MUCH less anal retentive than I used to be.
