Oh yeah.... Before Chuck was barely out of his car this pretty hot brunette was walking back to her 328xi and we shared a nice glance/smile then this decent milf came out to admire then pointed back to her 328i. It was pretty hilarious.

I'm glad I could help. Did you notice yesterday in the rain how well the car beaded up? You gotta admit that you loved the RainX as the rain flew off the windows without the need of wipers...

Nice ending. But how do you wash a car without a hose

Yes, rainX is nice.

But again, how do you wash a car without a hose

Well I had 2 buckets. Filled 1 with warm water and poorboys slick & suds car wash and a grit guard at the bottom and repeatedly filled the other with water. First 2 buckets I dumped all over the car to wet the car. The using my Lake County Ulti-Mit I began washing the car. Now the Ulti- Mit holds a ton of water and suds so I wasn't worried about constantly needing a hose to wet the car. Plus I was polishing the car anyways so any slight swirl if any that was caused was being removed anyways. So I washed the car in sections and would then rinse the car with a bucket of water.

My pants weren't exactly dry after washing the car but I was no where near soaked either. It wasn't as bad as you would expect. It actually worked out pretty good.

On a side note. Chuck take a cruise around your development. My buddies condo development in Westerville right off of Shrock had a covered car wash bay complete with a hose and a quarter operated vacuum system. It was pretty cool. Maybe you guys have one and don't even know about it....

DarkCloud, what buffer/compound combination did you use? Was it a rotary or orbital? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they don't. I'll ask the condo association though.

I thought the PC 7424 is an orbital buffer? Are there two different kinds?
