I did something stupid.

washed the car on the way to my class this morning.... coin wash, with my detail bucket in hand wearing my dockers and a golf shirt for work.

not that I ruined the clothes.. I managed to keep the water off me, but stupid in that there's so much friggin construction, you can't see the stripes on the car through the dust after the 45 minute drive home.

Why do I even bother?

Never tried it myself but vinegar is supposed to get salt stains off of carpet REALLY REALLY well.

Let me know how it goes if you try it or have tried it before.

Is it all right if rum is my friend instead of beer Bryan?

I actually used a clay bar today, that took a while. Then I use some new Lucas wax that we got at my work. ( Same people that make Lucas oil )
The wax workes good.

Rum good.

I have great rum from Cuba. will save you a bottle.

And yes, the vinegar works well for salt stains and is absolutely safe.

But usually "The Works Wash" at petrocan is good.

Most Petro Canada car washes still use those evil "slapper" type brushes... Scratch city :ph34r:

I had planed on detailing the car but instead am looking to get estiamtes for my recent rear end.

Though on Sunday I am installing my new 2.25" flex pipe (newedgeperformance) MBRP exhaust, UDP and SVT HVAC bezel.

While the car is getting the bumper fixed and some respray I'm going to cash up to keep a deep gloss buffing down. Taking a go at my headlights to get rid of that dam haze.

Not the one in Burlington and Stoney Creek, they use the soft cloths and no slaps just spin.

Photos tommorow but two and a half hours (and a sunburn later :ph34r:) the car is looking about as good as it did when I paid Ford last year $139 + taxes to do the car (Only thing I couldn't do today was the engine bay, no electrical outlet to be had)

1) Wake up
2) Go to Tim's for a double double.
3) Give wife a hug & kiss because she wants to head out early to beat the traffic. (Why can't I just come to Canada already?)
4) Finish coffee
5) Get the buckets of cleaning supplies.
6) Wash car 2x
7) Clay bar the bish
8) Wash it again
9) Start waxing
10) Realize that even though its 70* out.. its still HOT with the sun beating down.
11) Wax the hood, front quarter, and drivers door. PITA.
12) Clean up all of the cleaning stuff.
13) Decide it would be better to just pay someone to give the car a nice wax & detail, because I suck at it and can't get any of the scratches & swirls out.

Here's how my beast looked after 2.5hours in the sun on Saturday (I was a real redneck... My neck almost matched the car colour :ph34r:

[Image: DSC00371.jpg]

The interior... considering the only vacuum available at the coin-op was half busted I think the carpets came out decent:
