Sweet, but I think you need a pressure washer. It would save you so much time.

**GregCavi** · 08-07-2005, 02:28 PM

HAHA you dont even know how long I spent on it haha. But yes i am looking into a pressure washer for the winter months. I will use it as a pre rinse and for wheels and wheel wells. IMHO its hard to beat a hand wash. Thanks for the comments guys.

HT LC on wheels followed by PB WS

Looks great, Greg! So did she pass?

**GregCavi** · 08-08-2005, 04:31 PM

Ya she passed. I think it was because of perfection on every aspect of the car. haha. She is a good driver she doesnt need a freshly detailed car to pass her, but im sure it didnt hurt haha.

Looks great Greg. I`m also thinking of a pressure washer for pre wash, wheel wells and the occasional dirt mobile. Soon as someone sells one in a yard sale that I go to for $20 or under I`ll have one

Nice job on the car and glad that she passed..........I have a pressure washer but I don`t use it on all jobs.......However on those dirt bombs and even wheel wells I find nothing better.........you can get one from Karcher (sp) for about 100 bucks its what I have.....Saves time and dose a much better job when its needed.
