Spent an hour and a half at the car wash today... lol


And I know I would get more comments here than in the pictures section, so what the heck...









Then I figured out I had a panorama feature on my phone so I messed with it quick...

very clean my friend. i only go to my local car wash if my car is extremely dirty and that is very rare.i wont even drive my car out if its dirty in any way. i even clean my rims before every time i go out. this has been going on for several months lol.... i wash my car by hand for 2 reasons. one i know i get it the way i like it and two is becuase in a drive thru car wash the high pressure water when it goes over my top sprays water inside my car. im guessing its becuase its a vert and i know it probably shouldnt do that but doesnt leak when it rains so its fine. anyway nice wash

Yea my top does that too, only in one spot on the drivers side though, and its not an actual leak. Its just water running down the small handle/strap thing. And I bring my own supplies to the DIY car washes lol, I don't only rely on their stuff. I don't use their brushes I use my own mitts, I just use their soap and high pressure things.

Thanks And yea I am still trying to figure out if my rims are real chrome lol, I don't spend as much time on them as I should because they are in pretty rough shape even though the pics don't show it. If I found out they arent real chrome they will be painted black asap lol. But chrome is a bitch to paint over so yea. But I will post a pic in the morning of how rough of shape my rims are in.

That looks nice. I like the wide view. THat looks sweet. Looks like you have a nice clean stang with a great body.

I know what you guys mean on washing your stang all the time. I have to as well. It bothers me even if it has dust on it. My GF thinks I am crazy cuz I freak out and tell her I got to wash it. And she is like its perfectly clean, but it ain't.

Ha, i don't think it is a bad thing to be proud of what you have and want it to look good.

It bothers me so so much like right now at this moment my car is dirty, and it bothers me, but I can't do anything about it cuz it is raining.

You guys are lucky. My stang is dirty as hell. So many bugs on my bumper and windshield. I have to drive 12 miles of highway everyday to work, and i can only keep it clean for 1 day. Living on dirt roads sucks too. But i cant wait for college, where i wont have to drive it hardly ever, and it wont get dirty!

My dad had his boat out so I took that opportunity to wash/wax mine, since he has a nice big tarp on the side of the house. Roughly 1 1/2 hrs, park it out and turn the tv on. Few minutes later, the sky ripped open.

-e- Then I had this strange craving for Taco Bell

I love cleaning my by hand to be honest, i barely go a day or two without cleaning it because i can't stand to see dirt on it. And you get the pure satisfaction that you made your car look kickass Looks good my friend.

I'm the total opposite. I bring mine once a week or once every other week to the brushless auto wash. Then I'll wipe off the wheels and rub on some tire wet. Takes all of 10-15 minutes. I'd rather be out cruising around.
