Post Winter Wash.....v #wetnorcal
So after a very wet winter, which i'm hoping is for the most part over with.
I finally got a chance to give the ole girl a quick wash. Haven't washed the car since Oct....when i put on the ceramic coating. - Cleaned Wheels with Sonax and Power Washed the fenders (lots of grass/dirt/debris stuck on the inside of the wheel wells) - Foam cannon on dry car - to remove first round of loose dirt (used wolfgang auto bath both times) - Rinse with power washer - Foam cannon 2nd time - and use wash mitt to wipe all the left over grime off (rinsing wash mitt in between), Also used a 2nd wash mitt to wipe down the wheels and the exhaust tips (since it was all covered in foam) - Rinse Again - use leaf blower to remove excess water, and wipe down the door jams and other hard to reach spots - Black Magic Tire Shine - Back her into the garage until i take her out - probably later in the week. A few before pics, showing up close how dirty she was. Front and rear fenders Sonax Doing its thing... After rinsing off the Sonax Ass shot before the Foam Cannon First Round of Foam - Which got rid of pretty much most of the loose dirt. Finished Product |

I'm still holding out, weather is too unpredictable this time of year. Mine looks like your before pictures x10
Looking good though, gives me some hope for mine. Wheels are at the powder coater, it'll be presentable soon enough

I grew up in Northwest PA and went to WPI for college.
I was in tahoe last week, for 3 days and even though the snow was beautiful, i DO NOT miss living in that stuff day to day.... |

Thanks for the compliments guys, as I look at the car in the garage, i realized i did a rush job to clean it LOL, alot of small missed spots and the wheels still have some dust/dirt on em...
i'm a bit of a perfectionist...oh well it'll need a wash again soon! |
