Default Washed her this weekend!

Finally got a pretty weekend and got the S washed. It wasn't the greatest job in the world but it does look a lot better. My camera for some reason did not want to take very good pictures. It has never been that fuzzy before. Must be operator error!

Looks good!! If I could respectfully make one suggestion though it would be to remove the dealer sticker on the left side of the trunk lid. It just throws off the lines of the car IMO. Besides, why should you give the dealer free advertising?

That is a great idea about the dealer sticker. Any suggestions on how to do that one. I guess I need to search. And yeah I know I need to clean the exhaust tips.

I have always sworn by goo gone for adhesive on thr paint. Some people feel the same about the 3m equivilent. I would start with some mild heat like a hair dryer and use just a finger nail to remove most of the vynyl. Be sure to protect the area with your wax/sealent afterward because the goo gone will strip it all down.

White is definitely hard to keep clean, great work! I agree about moving the advertisement, she is yours now, not theirs! Also dig the personal license plate!

Thanks guys. I will work on the dealer sticker when I go to my parents house in a couple of weeks. I will try to take pics while I am doing it. I never really thought much about removing it but the more I think about it the more I like it. It might be good info for others. Oh and my first name is Kermit, so the license fits in case you were wondering.
