hehe, it's a lot of work, huh?

I've got a torn rotator cuff, so it's a royal PITA for me. I usually just take mine to the wash near me.

It's become a weekend thing for me since I got my IS last Sept. Only problem is I go slow and so I can drink a 6 pack along the way. LOL. Every weekend I'm outside washing about 5pm with beerz and BS'ing with my neighbors. In fact I need to go back outside and finish up.

Hey OP..Looking good..looking good.

i guess all the colors have the pros and cons. but you could get the TSB for the excessive break dust.
