You would be a wacko to do it the 30s. In the 60s, you better get it done while you can.

Busted. I was actually installing my CD changer in the secret compartment when that photo was taken, but I swear, I detail my car in the winter as well.

Usually, I have to use a bucket of warm water, because the hose is iced over.

I just have to be careful....cant have the water anything past 55-65 degrees..or else you can shatter your windows.

Well I took today off from work to detail the S since it was ~65*.. wore t-shirt and shorts she needed it badly too..

washed 2x with meguiars gold
clay bar entire car with claymagic
washed again
Klasse AIO
tomorrow I will apply some wax.. one of the many in the detailing box


no before pics.. these are the only two good after shots.. my camera is just a coolpix 2100 (point & shoot) and its very difficult to capture good shots of the car
