Thanks for the feedback, guys!


I live in an apartment with a car port so a full hand wash isn't a viable option at the moment.

I probably wouldn't have taken it to the wash so often except that I have the worst timing when it comes to rain and weather. Forecast will show rain all week, but it won't actually rain - then I decide the hell with it and get it cleaned cos I'm sick of the spots, then it rains the next day even though forecast showed sun all day!

can't beat Michigan weather!

I'll have to give this a shot at my buddy's place once I get free day. should be able get all the spots and hard to reach places ultra clean this way.

Thanks!
