Don't worry fob. I was whenever the weather gets better too. I don't mind if it gets dirty the next day. I don't like dirt to build up.

Not really

But I think you get my point... whats the point spending all that time washing and waxing and tire cleaning and stuff, just goto Sunoco and get a value wash with underbody, that'll clean the dirt where you cant reach. Or goto a selfserve one. No need to dry the car since it'll be covered in filthy snow, salt water.

Exactly. $2 and you don't have to worry about any salt and dirt build up. Just spray and go.

I think it's just the joy of using the pressure washer.

JOY of pressure washer? Sorry I just came back from the Shell Self Serve, its HELL of the pressure washer, stupid thing so damn powerful my wrist hurt halfway soaping the car, especially when theres no button or thingy to keep it on and you gotta hold the hose so it doesnt scratch the car.

Excuse me? I am the only one who washes the damn car, I clean the interior with 20/20 Eagle Glass Cleaner, that requires alot of hard rubbing, by the time I do the windshield I get tired. Than Rinse, Soapy Water, Rinse, Put on some 'fake' Eagle One Wax as u Dry thingy.

I'll wash it for you babychai, seriously!

Just water and newspaper? Wow, I don't like Eagle 20/20 Glass Cleaner, always leaves streak that you can see in sunlight or at night. But at the right angle, it looks flawless.

You can use Windex on the new CR-V windows, they are not tint, they are dyed, these wont fade.
