I tried this foam type in san diego. It did not come out the way I had hoped on a black car. For the NE, with all the shyt and salt I would not think it would perform as well.

I think if I used the right cloths then it would come out nice as most of the dirt in SD is desert dust. Oh and I forgot about that where I will be working all the eucalyptus trees have these giant egret birds nesting in them so as long as you don't park with in 50 ft of the tree line you are fine.

I could get a longer hose, but coiling it up afterwards would be a nightmare. It has to traverse my whole backyard and into the driveway which is behind a swinging wooden gate and fence.

Hose reel with auto windup not real cheap for the good ones but so worth it. I connect the hose at the garage attached to the house and bring it to the second garage. takes about 2 minutes to get everything put back into place

if its just accumulated dust with rain water i use it all the time.

but as madwi posted, if u see tiny pebbles like debris on ur panels best u blast dat off with hose water first even if u use waterless wash.

i am EXTREMELY careful when i clean the gnosis as tiny rocks can scratch da finish. considering dat, and warmer weather, i just use a hose usually when washing the G if she's been driven in the rain.

ran a quick errand in my G and went for a quick spin.. had a good time.

so i went to da bank cause i needed to get some cash. i dont usually use cash but the next work will require a lot of travel with my team and just makes it easier to split food billz using cash.. well at least for this middle aged guy.

and so i went ahead and earn$pent on a CF money clip.
