Default Evening wash







Even though I managed to get my 96 out two weeks ago after winter slumber I got busy to post anything, car sat since then since it rained last week.
got her out yesterday and earlier today yet parked her due to errands that required my Impala. Got home and decided to give her a bath which was needed and something that I enjoy doing.
I can understand if someone that has a disability, but can't understand why people don't wash their own cars, it is a good way to get to know your car greatly.

Your 96 is looking amazing! Keep up the good work! I wanted to drive my 93 to my daughter's house last night, but it was kinda dirty from sitting in the garage so I drove my Honda. Plus I knew I would be home late and I would have to move cars around once it was back in the garage. Excuses lol. I need to wash the 93 after reading your post, that is all.

Your car looks great and I agree regarding the joy of hand washing/cleaning ones car.
