Yipes! Car NEEDS a detail!

Boy, does my car need it's fall detail badly. I did my usual wash yesterday and wow, I could feel the crud in the paint.

Guess I'd better plan a couple days to get it done.

PNW roads are terrible for debris. I have tons of rock chips.

All of us here in SoCal are dealing with ash landing on our cars! It sort of looks like snow here when it gets bad.

I hope that ash doesn't damage paint too quickly.

We got the "pain in the ash" when St. helens blew her top...ash didn't do too much.

Yeah, I'm busting my ash to try and stay ahead of it!

The Miata had a beard of dirt and tar and bugs after the Leavenworth trip. The pictures don't show the half of it...

I gave her a good wash. She's a lot of fun to get it dirty, and small and easy to wash off in preparation for getting dirty again.

I'm not sweating cleanliness on the 325 before the repaint. Both cars need to be vacuumed out, though, and my vaccum has been broken for a while.
