Default Ninja Car Washing

Today I was out washing the cars. A lady who visits the complex parked nearby. Her car is always nasty. I am not sure if it has ever been washed. By the looks of the wheels, it has not.

So...I decided to perform some "Ninja car washing". I decided to wash only ONE wheel and tire. I did not have my wheel or tire brush so I had to just let the cleaners soak. It is not perfect, but see how it started. That brake dust is caked on. So if you see a nasty road grime colored Mazda 6 with the semi-clean front wheel you know why.

Passanger side - not washed


Drivers Side - washed.

Very ninja of you Garret.

I've done that for people who give me the "You can do mine next" while they were visiting my roommates while I was detailing the car.
I would clean and polish/wax ONE small panel just so it stood out like a sore thumb....

But it beaded water nicely in that one spot

You should see my roommate's Corolla, it's the most horrible looking car I have ever seen. The wheels are literally falling apart with corrosion. It's black and the paint is nothing but swirls even though I have NEVER seen him wash the car - not once in the past 2+ years.

Even when I have driven POS cars I kept them clean.
