I know...I went to the local Auto Spa this afternoon to have it washed...it's too cold for me to do it! It'll never be cleaned by someone else as well as you do it yourself! But I got my $25.00 worth...they sure did slap on enough tire shine to last a year! I'll have The Boy shine up the plastic tomorrow

M: Is that as in "pool boy" or the Hub, (he'll be pissed to hear that). :p

I understand about the cold weather cleaning situ and I wan't gooning your ride; it's just that the front and rear spoiler/valances, rocker panel plastic things and flaps cry out for some nice subtle, not too shiny, "back to black" stuff.

Get your Ol'Man out there in the drive and tell get to it, or no dindin!
