Default I have decided to spend the time with my car today (lots of pics inside)

I have not washed the car for two weeks. First, the weather was bad, then I had no time. Today I said enough is enough!


It was nice out, 28F


It was still early, so I did not have to wait in line. The car wash was empty.


Some final touches and we're ready to go.


Going to my fav gas station to vacuum the car. I always vacuum the car myself...


This is it!


Now that the car is clean, good time to replace my carpet mats with my new all weather mats.


Oh we're not done yet!


Removing minor scratches and other imperfections

since I'm planning to Zaino my car next weekend, are you saying he's brave because of the cold weather, or because it's hard on the car to apply polish below freezing? just don't want to ruin the finish on my car. thanks for any tips anyone can lend.

to the OP....car looks great!!

^^ There is nothing wrong with applying a sealant when its cold out. The only problem is that it takes longer to dry.

you're a brave guy letting someone wash your car for you. i'd never let anyone wash my car (not even the dealer). but that's just me...
