The joys of Colorado winters....
This winter has not been hard - but the snow and cold has lasted a long time. I've gone to the car wash knowing the next day she'd be trashed but just want to get the mag chloride off her. I think I'll hit the car wash tomorrow!

Wow she's filthy!!

Southern Ontario enjoying a light snow (but still frigid) winter so far. Got a car wash Wednesday and I am enjoying a couple of days of dry roads and a clean car.

For some reason I drive faster when the car is clean.

Holy crap, I thought black looked terrible all winter!
I bought one of those silly billy mays flex hoses, I keep it right inside the garage...I've gotten it to where I can do a quick rinse wash and rinse in the driveway in ten minutes.

where is the nano coating that prevents salt buildup? c'mon science.

Washed her today thank goodness! The kids running the car wash said "wow - that's dirty". Lol! I too seem to drive faster when she's clean.

What are those cleaner spots on the doors? It seems to be on both sides of the car. Never saw that on mine.
