Detailing Withdrawal

[TMQ]

Forgot to add---It's an undercarriage washer. Now, I can do something about the salt rather than fretting about it! grin.

That is a great apparatus. I usually lay on the ground and squirt the hose in any area I can reach. I did treat the undercarriage of my truck with Fluid Film.

Only took an half hour - 40 min to make it.

Will test it tmw---hope it works!

This is my thread. I hadn't washed my car in two weeks and it was killing me. Finally did a rinseless last night. Then somehow I "had to" stay at home while the baby slept and I got a couple hours to polish the bumper. Did it need it? Probably not.

I scheduled todays wash with my wife a few days ago. We have a 3month old and its been at least a month since my last wash, and 3 months since i did the wifes last. We had 3 small snows lately, so the salt is crazy. Im sure they put down more salt then we actually had in snow!

Anyways both SUV’s done in under 2hours, and that included some claying, so that i could prep for polish and sealant on mine.

Either way, I was very thankful for 45degrees and an awesome wife!

It seems like I go through a detailing
withdrawal when I am not able to do
a full detail due to weather, time re-
straints, etc.

Do you guys go through something similar?

I don’t really have the time to exper-
ience any sort of detailing related with-
drawal symptoms...I'm way too freakin'
anal—about everything—not just vehicles.

I have a heated garage for my "therapy", but I do long for the days when I have the door open and can use the hose to wash my cars in the driveway. Also hate having to squeegy out the garage after a wash in the winter. I definitely have to get out there and do some sort of detailing though. I have a carry bag of my goto supplies that I bring out to the garage with me as all my detailing products are inside for the winter.

TMQ, let us know how it works for you! During winter's "salt-fest", I'll go to the coin-op place and power wash the undercarriage best I can...but I worry that I'm not getting it rinsed as good as it should be. Winter salting season is the *only* time I'm tempted to do the tunnel wash.

[BudgetPlan1]

At the risk of being labeled a 'Detailing Heretic' I'm actually kinda glad the 'season' is somewhat over...as is my Credit Card.

Famous last words...

I can totally relate. Kind of give up the hobby during the winter months. When the temps do break like yesterday, I do get outside and do a good traditional wash. Only other good thing is all the great 25% off sales. One could place that big order and be ready for spring. If funds would allow, I would be doing this. For one who is use to washing every weekend, winter does kill the hobby.
