One more thing to fuss with in my head

Agreed their chemicals, water filtration, lack of adequate pressure/directional control of everything... But still, better than sitting dirt covered. lol
i worry about the bugs tho more than the dirt-dirt i can live with.

Just my tho, fwiw.
I have NEVER driven my car onti/into one of those track systems-
I always use the self serve ones-usually early in the day so i can do some hand washing too.

Anyway-all done-sitting pretty in front of the house now!
Btw: i did get skunk spray on friday! Lol - i could smell it around the front passenger wheel well when i washed it

God i love this car- <3
