Default Need some advice

Hey, I need some advice. I live in Virginia and my apt. complex takes the hose away from the car wash area during the winter. Anyway, I generally use the s2k as my DD unless we get snow/ice, which we currently have, and then I drive my old beater.

So my car is filthy and I need some advice on how to get it "cleaner" since it looks nasty. Any advice on what I can do to at least brighten it up? It's driving me nuts that the car is so dirty looking. I've been debating going to one of the drive in car washes where i can at least hose the dust and crud off. Once it warms up I'm planning to borrow a friend's driveway and give it a full detailing with clay and zaino etc...

thanks

Buy your own hose and keep in your closet.

It's replaced regular hose washing for me... it's faster, less messy, and I don't have to worry about water spots

I'll have to get some of that. The car is safe in it's garage now, but it should be nice enough in a few weeks that I can clean it up.
