got home at 5am, hadn't washed my car in a week or two, i gotta wake up early today so i decided not to sleep and wash my car instead. usually it takes 2 hours, but i got it in 1 hour! the best, no heat nice and cool. its now 6, im gonna let it dry up (whats left) and at 7 or so im gonna wax it, then come back at 8 and wipe it all off everyone who went to work that early was giving me strange looks, even the stray cats. why?? they should understand..

Yup. Early in the morning or a little before sunset are great times to wash cars.

Nice and cool...just you and your Max without a care in the world.

the Best time? When ya can't stand the wife *****in at ya any more and you need to rub your hands on something appreciative.

Seriously, anytime so long as the cars' sheet metel is cool and you are in the shade. Don't forget to towel dry. And don't you hate the constant dribble which come from the outside mirrors. I close and wipe the doors about 5 times to get most of the water out.
Total time for me is 1 hour for wash/dry, detail all rubber and vacum. I move fast, even while smoking a cigar.

I ended up waiting for a minute expecting a pic to show up because you left such a big space in your post.

FYI, it's not SPAM. We're talking about carwashing and the value of Kev's car.

I can't find anywhere that says it's used for glass all it says is that it's an all purpose cleaner thats non toxic and biodegradable. I use normal windex for my windows which are non-tinted.

My car could have passed for brown today. It had to drive on a dirty gravel street TWICE, which got dirt all over the car, plus i had to drive it in the rain and when that dried it looked like CRAP. I was sooooo glad to see what the color should be after I washed it tonight.
