questions/comments?

All my images are 650x488 but when i upload them they all look different sizes. Why is this? They are hosted on photobucket.

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.

Looks great Greg.


Photobucket (for the free membership anyway) has this on your home page

thanks craigster!

I was dead tired when I posted this so I forgot to mention the following:

#40 on tires and wheels
HT LC on wheels followed by PB WS
IG on windows

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.
 
My mom would have a cow if i made hers look like that:

But we don't care about that car anyways, so i'll just wash it. We've never waxed it. It's an '00 with 75k. :rolling
