    DP 4n1/Onr + Traditional Soap

While I believe you dont need suds for lubrication, I was wondering what others experiences were when adding a rinseless...

    Avgerage Monthly Detailing Expenses

    It seems this addiction to detailing is only begun and can only be matched by my Costco addiction. I feel my paycheck goes straight to one or the other. Needs and necessities are overcome by wants and must-haves. It keeps me out of trouble and weirdly enough I enjoy spending therapeutic time...
