Just an idea... What do you think?
« on: June 06, 2009 - 12:53:34 PM »
OK so this is a possible good weather idea, but let me know what you think.

Last year I believe it was MoparManiac who went out and found a DIY car wash to "freshen" up his car before the show on Friday. I believe the fairgrounds have hoses, but I thought it would be cool to possibly get together at the hotel Thursday night before dinner and get the cars cleaned up.

I know after a few hours of driving on the turnpike my car gets pretty grimey, so what do you guys think?

I believe it was one of those pay and spray car washes.
You know, drop a couple of bucks in it and you choose from using the high pressure hose or the brush.
I was thinking I'll bring my own bucket and sponge, I wouldn't use the brush on my car.
I've heard stories of people taking all kinds of junk there to scrub them off.

I mis-understood you Jeff. I thought you were saying we could clean cars at the Hotel parking lot.   :banghead:

Yeah the coin op wash was down the street from the hotel a bit.  I just used the spray detailer on mine in the hotel parking lot since it rained quite a bit after I got there.

Mike, you could just get the ice bucket and fill it up 50 times to wash the car. :smilielol:

I don't know about your statement Tom. I seem to remember your boys detailing your wheels.   :lol:

I know I can bring a bucket, but I usually get stuck on the second floor with a room without a frig or  microwave.    :screwy: You can see they roll out the red carpet for me.   :grinyes:

Yup, they are pretty good at it.  I let them wash the lower quarters and rocker panels the other day!
