    A little precursor. It was cold as ice outside high of 43 with the wind blowing 15-20 MPH. Man I need to write someone about this DC weather. Needless to say I did a poor job of the before and after pics.

    While I was there I picked up their neighbors car (2008 Mercedes ML 550, black, full paint correction). Looking way forward to this one (29 March). I also have a 2008 Mustang GT Shelby edition, black scheduled for this coming weekend. Anyway heres what we got.

    Nice job pooter especially for having to PC it. And since it was so cold what is cuz doing wearing shorts?!? Really good job on it and the silver looks great. Black Wow did a number on the trim too. Oh and what in the world did you have to use Grime Reaper straight on? I dilute 4:1 for wells and engines.

    Buddy was weary shorts because he is a rock, and only spent no longer than a few minutes outside at a time, he was wearing a jacket.

    As for the Grime reaper, I wasn't sure how to use it yet. It is new to the arsenal.

    Nica, Took 1 1/2 on the hood alone and about 45 minutes on the drivers door, rest was pretty clean, only a few scratch/marks here and there. All together I would say bout 6 hours solo.

    mainly alternator and belt. carry 1 gal freezer bags with me to cover and the belt gets covered with a soaked (water) terry towl to avoid sepage through a dry one. I also do not use pressure washer. Using presure washer tends to disconnect wires at times and break frayed wires.

    Nice job Pooter, I feel your pain about our weather, trying to clean the leaves in the back yard.
