A Winter Wash and Wax

[rott3np3anut]

Well, today was a perfect day for a wash! Or as perfect as it gets in the winter . It got to almost 50 degrees (in Northern IN!), so I took the car outside and did an ONR wash with the two bucket method. Then, I took it in the garage, dried it off, and put a coat of Optimum Spray Wax on. Made me happy to do a proper wash

Doesn't look too bad from far away....

Ewwww

Bird Bomb

After:

This one's after the wash, but before drying. The bottom by the front wheel wasn't actually dirty. Camera did something weird to it

Dried, then applied Optimum Spray Wax

Dry and shiny

Moved outside...

Again, it's really not dirty by that front wheel. I even went out to the garage and looked, it's clean. I need a new camera.

Sorry for the blurriness of the last few. It was dark and flash made it look weird, but I kept getting blurry pics without flash. I'm no photographer haha. Also none of the pictures really capture the real color. It's an awesome bright blue with lots of metallic flakes.

Thanks for looking! Anyone else wash their car on this (relatively) warm day?

I wish I could have washed my truck today. It hit 45 but I had to work today. So didn't get a chance. This weekend is suppose to be in the mid 40's so I'm hoping to get a good wash in on my truck, my gfs car, and maybe my moms car. They all need a good rinse prior to an ONR wash though. Salt and road grime all over them from our snow storm last weekend.

Car looks great and I'm jealous that you actually got to get out and wash it!

You're lucky it's staying nice over the weekend. In Indiana, it'll be in the 20's on Saturday. We have crazy weather lol, so I washed it while I could. I got some interesting looks from neighbors haha

Good luck, hope you get all your cars washed and lookin' good!

Looks great! I'm going try my power washer tomorrow. Might use water less DP on it, but the roads are still so dirty here in NJ.

Looks great. Don't you just love ONR? It gives you the opportunity to wash a dirty car, when others can't. I think I might do mine tomorrow.:dblthumb2:

Hey Jason, I did just that!

I mixed up a bucket of DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss and did my truck. I have to say it came out great but one thing to remember is you DO need that second bucket of warm clean water to rinse your wash mitt because it does get dirty!

I even hit the nose with a quick coat of Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax....rops:

More Rinseless wash users...and growing....now is that a darn good looking car or what..?..no foam gun, no water hoses....and the glossiness before the wax is amazing.

ONR is awesome! I use it almost exclusively now. Hardly ever use a traditional wash.

Yup, ONR is some amazing stuff. I did... cheat a bit though. It wasn't quite like you said. I presoaked it with some ONR solution and used a hose to rinse it off before washing
