Got my fix in yesterday as well, Alex.Me too
The majority of my wheel cleaning is done with the same soap as the body but since it had been awhile, I used Brake Buster in the cannon yesterday.
Got a late start and it was too dark for photography when I finished so no post wash images. However, I did want to mention something about drying the car. In my case, I use a Metrovac Max Blaster and what I wanted to mention regards the roof antenna cover and water retainment under it.
Being a '20, Sarah has the "rain drop" puck but I feel sure the same problem exists with the "shark fin." To wit, that darn thing holds a whole lot of water under it and I typically spend at least ten seconds blowing it out with the Blaster's hose nozzle right up against an edge.
Every time I dry the car, I am again amazed at just how much blows out. Talk about a perfect storm for corrosion, especially down here in hot and humid south Texas.
I mention this for anyone who either towel dries or blow dries. The towel folks absolutely, positively need to blow this area out with compressed air and the same may be true for those who use a modified leaf blower, I don't know but, I don't believe you can get close enough with a leaf blower to get all the water out.
BTW, the Metrovac is highly recommended because it not only puts out plenty of low velocity air, it's also heated.
Pretty certain I could never tolerate having someone else wash the Mustang, Brett, but I wouldn't have a problem if the wash was for either of the other two vehicles (under supervision, of course.) <grin>..but I have somebody come and wash my car for me under supervision as I live in an apartment.
Good one, Alex! <grin> Never owned one but that's a perfect moniker for the damn thing.Yes, I can't stand the California Duster, aka the Scratch O matic 5000
When I saw one the first time in a store, I remember laughing at that ridiculous claim too, Brett. :=)My favorite thing was the “it cleans better as it gets dirtier.
