PA DETAILER

DETAILED TODAY?
with a bucket and hose! got warm enough today to do it. much better than saturdays popcicle incident! lol....used the last of the p21s body shampoo. not a bad wash. i stocked up on the meguiars car wash strips. i perfer them. well at least the salt is off and i found a truck underneath. it will proabably stay clean for 5 min. some water still on the roads. can't wait till spring!!
 
Living in southern California, I guess I'm spoiled in terms of the weather. Here, we don't really have to worry about "winterizing" our cars. We can pretty much wash and detail normally all year round. I'll just stop rubbing your nose in it now. ;) I do have some sympathy for you and I'm glad you were able to get out and get a traditional wash in. :)

Hey I'm from PA and the weather is allowing us to keep fairly clean this week I feel your joy. :lmfao

I even got a paid detail this weekend, she's getting her husbands car detailed for Valentines Day. She's a keeper. :D
 
Yeah the "nice weather", which means anything over 32* in the NorthEast, definitely means it's time to drag out the hose & bucket for a real wash.

Now I can take the main roads for a while because the car was looking so bad I had to take the backroads to avoid being seen.

My gf thinks I'm sick 'cause I bucket wash when it's so cold but I use water just a bit warmer than normal and some yellow dishwashing gloves & I'm not cold at all.
 
Warning:Thread hi-jack!

What is this real wash with a hose and bucket, anyway?
Is this a good thing?
I seem to have a vague recollection of something similar to this, but it was so long ago, I can't remember the specifics.
Maybe in about 6 weeks it will be something I will want to try.
It is supposed to get into the high 40's by the week-end so things are lookig a little better. If we could just get all the snow melted and the runoff down the drain, maybe I could drive a clean vehicle at least 8 to 10 blocks before getting it splattered again. I washed our 2 cars twice each in the past week (Spray & Wipe), and they are both dirty again.

Do you really think so???:)
Oh yeah, I am so sick and tired of winter you wouldn't believe it. And I know I'm not alone in this, but I'm still not handling it very well.

Why do you prefer the Meg's wash strips? What other carwashes have you used?
 
Charles,

Good news. The roads are fairly dry in eastern Nebraska. Central Iowa is next. :beer (Root beer of course!)

Do you find that the Meguiar's car wash strips seem to lack suds?
