Let's see some freshly washed cars!

Had the day off from work today and just finished washing my car. Thought I'd throw some pics up.

Anyone else who just cleaned up their car let's see some pics!!

After applying Zaino Z-CS to the car. Still looks like this today. I wipe it down after each day that it get's driven. Only washed the car 4 times in a year. Three times were for getting caught in unexpected rain showers. No, it's not a 1LE, but I am going to upgrade the suspension to be from one soon... I just love the look of the 1LE and we had to get an auto so my wife could drive when she wants.

Keeping it clean is a commitment, but damn they look good clean!

Only saw one bucket, OP. Are you in violation of the 2 bucket rule?

Gasp....

Ok, its easy... One to have clean soapy water in, and the other with a grit shield in the bottom to rinse the wash mit after each pass on the car. Wipe car, dunk and scrub in the bucket with the grit guard, then dip into the soapy water and apply to car.

A 2nd bucket with just water for rinsing the wash mitt after each section you wash. A grit guard in the bottom is a good idea, too. Removes debris and particles so you don't scratch on next section. Some really anal people use 3 buckets. Your ride looks good though.

Edit: I now see that I type too slow, lol.
