Washing The Bird

[Pete Masterson]

Thanks Curt.

Good tip on the washing soap ... I've usually gotten it from the
local auto parts store when I used to wash my own car. (Free or
nominal-cost car wash with fill up at a local gas station has caused
me to forget some of this stuff ... unfortunately, despite easily
meeting the minimum fill up requirement, I can't get the WL through
the gas station car wash...)

Your mention of wax give me a horrible thought... do you need to wax
the thing? Or does the clear coat provide enough protection? I
suppose that the local detail shop could retire on what it would cost
to hire it done...!
