But the actual moment of washing your own 911.....that takes the pudding!

When it gets warm enough and dry enough here in NY it will be my therapy for the summer. Yes, we are all very lucky to have these fine machines that most can only dream about or give a crap about

Since I live in a condo now, it's just so nice to setup the EZ-UP and a few other "items" and start the cycle of washing and polishing if needed. Shielded from the sun, it's great to see it as foam the snot out of it with a foam canon (pressure washer with attachment) which puts a thick layer of foam over the finish.
Get quite a few comments from fellow condo owners and visitors. Also, helps the resale value when there are open houses as I'm out there all set up washing away.
Dry with my hand held leaf blower, a few passes with the WW towels and I'm ready for the next step.
What's funny is when using a high-end wax which requires "hand application" in which you put the wax IN your hand and rub it on the finish. What's bad is having a friend stop by and see this goo in your hand... "Gee, I knew you really loved this car, but come on now... do you really have to rub one out here?"
Gives a whole new meaning to "rubbing one off"!!![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I sure am glad I got the Turbo wheels...........easy to clean and I am saving a ton on tire treatment, if you know what I mean.
Here is a little story about my day with the car...................

As I was giving mine a bit of spring (60 plus todau---finally) spruce up and running the buffer over those fabulous hips, all I could think is WHAT AN AMAZING CAR and its all MINE.
My older son stopped by and added--jeez, DAD, why don't you clean up that POS. Have some pride in what you work hard to attain and take care of it. Wonder where he got that line ???--oh yes---that would me BE ME....
Yes..it is true...they do grow up eventually.

Speaking of your car, when was the last time you posted pics of it, huh? I searched and searched and couldn't find any pics.
I'm not sayin' you're gonna get the same treatment as that doctorpcar dude got when he couldn't produce a pic of his car to prove he actually had one....![Stick Out Tongue](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

I just never felt the need to photograph a car.
What I mean is, if I want to see it I just look outside and it's there. It doesn't grow bigger or change it's hairstyle or alter in any discernable way. In fact, to be truthful, with a little careful digging I'm sure I could locate fifty photos of cars which look exactly the same as mine. So taking a photo seems rather pointless.

Gotta give you credit for original thought. I like it.
Looks like GW is frustrating your method right now, though. Shoulda taken that pic.
