OK, I have had it with cleaning the salt off my car. Just as an example: I went to Patriot Suby in Saco just to see Vinnie and friends and when I left, they had made my car all shiny and clean for me. Well, I drove home to Brunswick and it was sunny and there was no water on the road. When I got in my driveway and got out, my car was covered with SALT! Even the roof! Where did this salt come from? Does it see me coming and jump off the road! I am so pissed at salt! Salt should be on the dinner table, to go on my corn or lima beans, not on the road to get on my car!

ARRGH!!!

Ok....I'm done......I feel much better now...........I'm going to go clean the car while nobody else is at the car wash.

 
It's too much effort to get the salt off. I'd really like to, but then i'd have to take the Thule box off, take the rack off, drive thru teh car wash which doesn't do a good job anyway, then i'd have to go to teh foamy brush car wash and scrub it myself.

Then it gets all crapped up when I drive home anyway. So... I realy enjoyed the rain storm the other night. The forester is nice & clean!

 
I hate it--I wish they just used dirt. I usually hit with high pressure washer on weekends, but depends on how cold it is. Funny you should ask though, I dropped off my car at Daves Auto care this morning for a mid-winter detail. My thinking is a nice coat of wax may help.. :-

this from *iwalktoworkanddontgetsaltonmysti* man....

 
I think he has more than one location, but I go to the one on Commercial street--its almost right under the bridge on the corner. His guys do a pretty good job and he will bring you to work and pick you up when it is done. Pretty good guy I think.

 
aaah, quit yer salty whinin', lads. yer foookin scoobaroos are built with galvanized steel bodywork and big slabs a bloody plastic. salt don't hurt neither one-a them!

so they get a little crusty, that's better than getting crunched on black ice you didn't see on the road.

an' youse lads what just hafta-hafta keep yer cars clean, and then went out and bought rally blue or black ones...what were ya thinkin?!!???

Silver, grey, or white cars look clean even when filthy.

I used to be pretty obsessive about washing my cars,but then again I usually had daily access to an indoor washbay. ;D

Now I just put a nice coat of wax on before winter,and wash it myself with the pressure washer at the local car wash when it is warm enough(like yesterday).I actually like seeing my WRX get dirty,but it always looks so good after I wash it,too.
