2000 Ford Explorer Wash and Spruce

[Mike McDonald]

It was only 19 degrees outside, my car has weathered two storms and looked terrible. Got out of class early today so what else would I do but wash it? Did I mention it snowed yesterday so there was still snow on the driveway? Yea, I'm crazy.

Used left over Meguiars soap from forever ago, and Meguiars Quick Detailer Spray.

Before, with all the road grime and disgustingness.

Now the afters. Got dark quick, so sorry for the low quality, but as a simple wash and 'quick detail' you get the point.

Didn't put any tire shine on, nor did I get in the cracks and holes.

New headlights. Bright enough?

This is the driveway, and a picture of the snowbank and it's height.

Was all snow covered until the water made it ice :surrender:

Snow goes 6 feet high around the driveway. Yikes.

Well, thanks for looking. Hopefully my crazy 19 degree wash stays clean for more than 30 seconds!

Yeah I have to go wipe my truck off the winds yesterday got it all messed up. I better hurry its only 60 out and getting colder too here my wife talk about it.

I do have to hand it to you guys out there doing this in the cold, you got me beat hands down. Looks good and now you can ice skate in the drive.

Good job in such bad conditions. Those rims look both easy and hard to clean. The large smooth wipe-able surface looks easy. The small angles cuts looks tricky.

You hit the nail right on the head. I usually just wipe, and when the holes get dirty I get down to business...
