I haven't washed my car yet in the 5 months I've had it. I don't have a water source at my apartment that's outside, plus it's freezing cold out. My only option would be to put my car through a car wash somewhere.

Looks like we'll need a wash day. Darren's shop?

Any chance we can get the college cheerleading team to come wash cars? Acropolis employees would probably do as well but I'm looking for dates, not a tease.

Use my method as the only water source you'd need would be to fill the buckets... You can do that in your sink or tub, then walk them out to the car.
If you're using ONR, you don't need to rinse

My cousin is on the PSU dance team, maybe we can work something out.

I went to PSU as well so that could be my way into a date. If you want to hook up a fellow twin car owner I'd be indebted to you. If she is indeed single and interested I'd be happy to give out my facebook page so she knows I'm not crazy.

Perhaps we could create a dating site or group just for FR-S/BRZ owners.

I'll settle down once I get married. Or I actually have something to do at work.

I've used Griot's speed shine in the past and it seems to make the car look nice when not wanting or needing a full wash. Probably need to make sure the cloth is always clean after every wipe as to not do any harm. Once I have some money to spare I'll try the no rinse wash with 2 buckets.
