Looks good Gloves, you and Stacy should have your own little show and shine.

I washed my car yesterday, it looks kind of like yours, only it has a bunch of track scares and the brake calipers are a burnt red

LOL.....IMO.....a clean car is WAAAYYY more important than spending time with a girlfriend/wife anyway!( J/king)
BUT your girlfriend managed to hang out with you while you did it...so you have the best of both worlds!
Congrats!

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to ask. It is my new favorite "small" design aspect of the car. Open your door, you will find it!!!

I have a ways to go before she is as excited about my car as your wife is about the turbo install!!!

I have decided my worst enemy are the rims. Only days after and I stress out because they are dirty again. Brake dust is everywhere. I really need a set of black P40. Anyone want to contribute to my "Dont wash those rims again!" fund?

Thanks PTParks. I was thinking the same thing about the pictures of parts. It was why I took it that way.

I would bet the answer to that one is Stacy!

Lawn Sprinklers count as me washing it, thanks for the idea!

gloves

I've found this product works to keep the brake dust @ bay. I use it twice a year & the only cleaning product I use on the wheels is the the same product that I use on the car.
The paint on the car has the same clear coat as the clear coat on your wheels.

well, to be completely honest I later sprayed other side with a garden hose and wiped it off with a golf clubs towel so it counts for a proper wash to some degree.
