If detailing spray with microfiber cloth in my garage counts then yes. Follow that up with spray wax as well. OCD is strong with these cars. It痴 almost a sickness.

Either at night or inside the garage, it痴 too hot in Florida now to enjoy doing it outside during the daytime 😰

Best part about SoDak vs. TX: Washing the car during the middle of the afternoon and not sweating to death! And this evening view from the patio doesn't hurt either...

^^^ Worst part: the other 8/9 months.

That is beautiful, but that's a tough trade-off not being able to drive it year-round.

OK, the next question: Is that all your property, and who cuts that? It looks like a full-time job.

I only have five acres, and only 3/4 acre of that needs to be mowed, and I have a guy who does it. It was brutal before we hired him. Took up all of our collective time.

Less chance of water spots by washing when the sun is down (at least that is what I think).

A bad back cured me from my cleaning the car obsession.

Very early morning is the time for me for washing my car.

When dawn is just barely beginning to make it's daily appearance in the East, I'm already at it, and by the time the Sun finally peaks up over the horizon, I'm finishing up.

Great time of the day to be doing things.

Yep, can't wash in the Eastern SC sun either! The OP has a neat looking car- see one similar every day!

That's the beauty of Griots Waterless Carwash.

Clean the car inside the garage, regardless of time of day nor day of year!
