My bonny finally got her first hand wash of the year today. It was utterly disgusting. The crust on the back literally needed scubbing, a combination of dust, salt, and oil leakage (you should see my right rear wheel well). My chromies used up half a bottle of chrome cleaner, and their still not perfect, but I can see my reflection again. It makes me happier.

Yeah, I hear you. My vehicle has been filthy & cruddy all winter. It'* kind of nice to see what it really looks like again after a good hand wash.

That'* what the Touchless drive through washes at the gas station are for, folks. Well worth the extra 7 bucks to get at least the worst of it off.
Can't wait til the backyard thaws out so I can give mine a good wash, tho...

Yeah, I drive through those from time to time during the winter months.
