Default Keeping a clean

With the watering issue here how are most of you keeping your S clean. I have Zainoed the car several times in the past. Is there somewhere to pay someone for a great cleaning? I am just moving back to Charlotte from Atlanta.

spray wash- bring buckets, soap, mitts, and whatever you use to dry. Or i'll clean and detail it for a small $.

I bought some rinse-less wash and use a bucket and an absorber to dry, it works decent. I use maybe half a gallon and can wash 2-3 cars with it if they aren't too dirty.

or you could be like all the rich a-holes here in town who have driveways that loop behind their houses. Then they wash them in the backyard where no one can see them to report them. I drive through dilworth and myers park everyday and see wet tire marks all the way down driveways. hmmmm.

I was just washing my baby in New Bern when I visited on the weekends...but I didn't the last 2 times and this weekend didn't work out since I was in Charlotte. These water restrictions SUCK!!

If Andy would STOP using the water, we could have some here.

My Sebring baby looks Silverstone.

That's hilarious...but VERY smart.
