Todays high was 49° and partly sunny, so I hand washed the Mini in the driveway. This was the first time it received this treatment. We bought the car in late October and I probably wiped down the lower sides of the car around Thanksgiving in preparation for the side stripes. Winter set in and I think by the middle of December the Mini was filthy, so after coming home it got a Meguiar’s Quik Detailer towel wash. The next wash was almost exactly 2 months ago on February 4th, but that was a trip through an automatic car wash.
I’m hoping that we have seen the last of the snow for this winter and if you can believe the long range forecast of the AccuWeather meteorologists we have. There will be few scattered days of rain in the next couple of weeks, so the snow tire removal is imminent. This Sunday looks good, sunny and a high of sixty.
