Dirty Cars Unite!

I haven't washed my poor baby in forever

And it's never been hand waxed and I've had it for a year.
I will get to it soon hopefully, but it is so hard without a garage and how it's so sunny it dries the wax in an instant. We tried it on the MR-2 and it was impossible. There aren't any trees to provide shade because the hurricane knocked them all down besides the palms and pine trees which don't have leaves lol. When it's overcast, it won't dry too quickly but then it starts raining while you're waxing...darn Florida! Winter is coming soon enough though, it won't be so hot and it won't rain so much and I will be able to get her clean.
Arctic manages to look good though, just don't mind the dirty wheels

Tried to help you out and post a picture of my own but apparently I lack the attachment skills.

Well, for one, I tried to add a picture to the garage and can only get a place holder and no picture. I feel so incapable.

Doesn't look that dirty. But I'll have to agree I like clean car better over a dirty one.

Here's a few pics from my old bmw, I usually don't take pictures of my dirty car.

picus · 10-28-2006, 09:05 PM

Nikki - there are a number of sealants and waxes that are made withstand application in the hot sun; if you ever need any help with detailing shoot me a PM.

As for dirty cars, I see all your dirty cars and raise you... THIS!
