Car care

My Meguiar's car care products (soap, wax, microfiber wash mitt and drying cloth—I read AcuraZine and other forums and went all out) and others items (bucket, grit guard) arrived in pieces the previous week; so I drove the Acura over to the apartment car-wash area (has a roof, couple hoses, vacuum, nearby drain). Well, it ain't rocket science; I tried to follow the Junkman's directions, but "sheeting" the water off the car and "drying with water" are a bit of a trick (especially with the hose nozzle attachment they had; I think I'll take it off next time, to use the basic hose, as he did, or maybe even get a quick-connect with a valve); I ended up with some water spots, mainly on top. The (electric to avoid smoke and fumes) leaf-blower idea is a good one too. Still looked a lot better after I was done. Should probably wax it to make it better proof against bugs and birds.
