We got 2 clean and Hydro'd MINIs sitting in the carport Did some interior work on the Cabrio, even cleaned the floor mats on both of them

I tried the ICE wash, seems like a good product, very slick feeling while you work with it.

Re did the Banana Gas areas that had worn off of Poco, I LOVE WORKING WITH THAT STUFF

OH, and that new nozzle is wonderful

Ugh. I hate peaches! You all had better not have ruined Hydro for me! Curses!

*shakes angry fist*

Speaking of Hydro - anyone got an opinion on if it's okay to Hydro after you go through the touchless carwash, or should I save it for hand washings only?

You drive a CR MINI! And you dislike (hate) all of these red fruity items?

That's why I drive a CR/W MINI.

And, since I'm having fun with pictures today, my last order from DP:



Now I don't know what to get with my March calendar coupon code.

Mainly depends on how clean the carwash gets the paint.

Do you hand dry after the touchless? If so it won't hurt to Hydro. You can use Hydro as a QD on a dry car also.

I hadn't before, but I'm going to have to start. If I leave it wet I end up with a nasty dirty boot by the time I get home.

But I think I've got enough time today to sneak in a hand washing.

That's why I use 303 Fabric Guard on the seats and carpet. I'm constantly spilling something and with the Fabric Guard applied, whatever I spill just sits there in little beads staring at me begging to be wiped up.

You need pictures to really get the message across.

problem with coilovers is that you cant really see them from the
outside of the car.
