I have washed many types of vehicles through the years but wonder if it is the fact I am getting older and slower or the G has more nooks,crannies,moldings,bolt-ons and doo-dads than the average car. I am sure the roof rack and front bull-bar dont help either. It's been awhile since I gave it a bath and it just seemed to 'soak' up my Sunday. I hope all fellow Gwagener's had a mighty productive weekend with their projects...G related or not. Mike No, you are just being very detail-oriented and careful. Also, you are taking the steps at protecting and taking care of your baby. I even wipe the inner door sill areas. I spray and wash the wheel wells too. | |
