I'll wash the car if it needs it. Detailer can only do so much. After I wash the car I take my air hose and blow out all the nooks and crannies where water will sit. Moldings, lights, door frames, etc. Then I'll let it sit in the sun for awhile. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Pell To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Saturday, April 26, 2008 6:54 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] To Wash or Not To Wash?
I only use a hose and soap when the car is really filthy. And if it is too dusty for a 'California' duster, then I use a wet wash mitt (no soap), and just wipe it down, and follow with a towel (soft cloth, and do sections at a time). This cuts way down on the water spots also. -- I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, Than live my life as if there isn't, And die to find out there is. -Blaise Pascal Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax cut saves you $30.00?

When I was driving my 66 every day I washed it at least twice a week if it needed it or not. But I live up a dirt road so it needed it. I did a 67 442 Olds for a guy a few years back and since it left my shop he claims it hasn't seen water since. Myself even after I get my 66 done, it will see water and a wash mitt if I deem it nescessary. And when I stop showing it and start driving it, it will probably get washed a whole lot more due to the long overdue floggings it will recieve!!
