.....mine was washed twice since its snowed, and I didnt even drive between the 1st and 2nd wash. My biggest pet peeve in the world is a dirty car. I dont know how you guys can put up with it. Just use a bucket of super hot water and it's not cold at all...and it melts all the ice. I feel sorry for your paint.

this is right before I washed it the 2nd time. Still see a reflection off the passenger door and wheels are still shinning

well mr supra, it's kinda hard to dump water on it when it's -30 C out. F that noise.


my beautiful right now, i just washed it and had it parked in a heated garage while doing LED's on a buddy's rx7, so all the doors could dry out.

, but when it's -30 C outside, it's REALLY hard to wash it, i just bite the bullet and washed it, cause we're in a cold snap, but knowing my luck sincei just washed it, we're going to warm up - 5 and get a new layer of snow, and it'll get all mushy again.
i shoulda taken a picture

oh well, the paint will thank me next spring after a 3 stage wax/polish again

you TRULY are the LED guru. BTW, mine showed up yesterday. Everything was good except one of the 3 dome light LEDs had a small crack on the backside. Im putting my money on the fact it happened at CPS/USPS, but can I still use it or will the heat cause it to blow one day since its already cracked?

you guys are lucky it's warm enough to melt, my car looking like that during the spring months, or during weather thats not -20F out is VERY common,

although it's filthy right now, it's not worth taking pictures of cause it'll just be worse than those pictures once it warms up, and it's to cold to wash the car, even inside a car wash, the water will still freeze once it contacts the car
