9 months and no car wash....

[wood_e]

Well after 9 months of not washing my car I did it up. Washed it today and applied turtke wasx on her. I might not have had all the right tools for the job but I think it turned out nice. My sig pic is the finished product...

Wow 9 months of never washig your car, if you decide to sell it be sure not to let them see this post

I must say it looks great in the pics, enjoy your clean car.

Hey, thanks Tom & coyotefreek! I am enjoying the perks of a clean ride...

Tom, it may be a nice ride, but yours is, and I use this without hyperbolie, a million times better

Haha, dude 9 months? That is INSANE bro. I can't stand it if I don't get mine washed within 7 days of the last wash, lol. But then again, I see brake dust on my rims after like one drive and that shit gets on my nerves.

careful, you might strip the paint

You might want to change your pads to a low dust kind, like ceramic... oh and do it yourself

What mscoins said!!!

 

[wood_e]

Yeah, I'm ashamed.... I just didn't have a whole lot of time during college to wash it. I'm glad I took the time... it needed it like no other

I considered changing the pads, but it's hard to question a Brembo brake setup...no matter what these companies say, there has to be some kind of performance sacrifice if I switch to low-dust pads.

I switched to ceramic pads in the front of one car about 6 months ago to test them out...,
so far, I could not be happier

I installed "regular" pads in the rear..., but from now on, all my cars will have only ceramic pads.

I have not noticed any decrease in performance(although I am not racing, etc).
What I have noticed is a huge decrease in brake dust.
Although it is not totally dust free..., the dust is much, much lighter and the wheels do not get "nasty" looking with regular maintainence cleaning.

Sometimes my car goes for over a month without a wash... It's no big deal, depending on how dirty the car is and what's dirtied it...
