    just washed the car...

    Well, it got up to about 65 degrees here near KC, MO and I thought, what a GREAT idea it would be to clean some of that wintery grime off the maggie?! I was like, yeah, it won't even take that long cause there won't be any bugs or crap like that to clean off! In my limited memory of the past winters, I forgot about two things:
    Getting to see all the little dings, chips, and scratches that have occurred since the last time it was washed and,
    all the little "rust" spots that had to be scrubbed!
    Two and a half hours later, I drag my wet, dirty, and now cold butt back inside and am writing this post. What a nightmare... however... looking at my beautiful magnum all clean and shiny made it worth all the trouble!
    So here's your reminder of the fun you have in front of you when you wash that car of yours!

    I washed my Daytona today cuz it was REAL dirty. It looks much nicer now. I agree that anything we do to make them clean & shinny is well worth the trouble.

    So, no pics of these freshly washed cars?

    I would have loved to wash mine, but I don't even have possession of it right now.

    Magnum R/T . . . yes Kate, it does return the favor!

    I would have had before & afters if I remembered my stupid camera, so I guess it's gonna have to wait till next time. Hope you get your car back soon so you can take pics of it.
