Anyone cleaning up their NB today?

[SPIRU]

What a awesome day today, anyone doing a cleanup job today?

[xXRockyHorrorsXx]

awesome day? Its raining here :(

[SPIRU]

WOW, finally a day the weather is better in KY then FL!!!:D

[Lnzbug]

It looks nice but it's actually alittle chilly. The hubby's trying to fix him anyway. Keep your fingers crossed he figures it out

[digitalputty]

I wish.
I have homework ... and no shorts to go out in. It is a nice day here as well. :( About 65 degrees F ... and sunny-ish. However, it does look as tho some clouds are coming in. RATS! :O Gotta wait until tomorrow. Or, until I get some shorts. :D

[NYBugman]

Couldn't do anything on the bug when it comes to cleaning today because of the rain. What makes it worse is that tomorrow is Spring Show and Go. Gotta wake up early tomorrow morning and make up for lost time.

At least I got a couple of interior mods done today:cool:

[from Margaritaville...]

I would have but the hydrant is too far away...

[callisto9]

i did, i did! curby's got a lot of orange sports and general nastiness that won't be removed until i do the SERIOUS hand cleaning. today he just got the carwash. better than nothing and i think he looks soooooper! :D

[Oyveychris]

awesome day? Its raining here :(
You guys got rain? It's been 2 months without it here...everything is crispy:(

[Whitacre]

Even though its been raining on and off today, i finally just bit the bullet and went and washed my car. over a week of dirt and crap from the rainy roads was on him and i couldnt take it anymore. It isnt raining at the moment, and has been stopped for at least two hours or more...It will rain again though...But at least he'll be clean!

[CoriBug]

Today was a great day!! Perfect for cleaning Daisy. I cleaned her really good after coming home from Texas (found a bumblebee in foglight - gross) so today I just wiped dust off her and sprayed some stains with some cool stuff I got from the Round Up. It's called Tropi Care - works awesome. A neighbor was having a party and a NBC harvest moon beige was parked across the street from our house. I tagged it of course;)

I think tomorrow will be a better day, we still had some rain this afternoon.

[58ragtop]

it's been nice here all week, today it was nothing but rain off and on. i was going to give my car a nice polish.

[yellow99]

It's still kinda cold here, but I did manage to get my summer wheels on. Normally I would do it myself, but I needed the tires mounted on them too. Mmmmmmm gotta love Michelin HydroEdge! Great Handling, Great Look and Excellent Hydroplaning Resistance! The Goodyear RS-A's that were on the car were pretty good for performance, but they hydroplaned big time. I ended up two lanes over while driving at only 60Km/h.

I'm so happy now! I just can't wait 'til I can take out my winter mats and clean the interior, then comes the dash kit!

[larryziegler]

Though yesterday was a nice sunny day, I used it to get my Honda serviced (oil change and transmission fluid change) and day dreamed while sitting in a 2006 Honda S2000. Now there's 4 cyl hp......236 to be exact. And I love the old fashion "start" button on the dash :) I got the Beetle sertvice last weekend, sans air filter replacement, which I'm doing today. Rain is expected here all week, so any car washing is totally out of the question.

[58ragtop]

well since i coudn't do it yesterday due to rain...i did it today
a rub n buff polish n shine :-)

Who Hoo.. Its 60 out today, so I ran some errands, and detailed Herbie. He looks all nice and clean, all ready for a small road trip in the am....

[from Margaritaville...]

No, but I bought a Mother's Mini-powerball today (on sale for $19.99 @ Kragen Auto Parts). Can't wait to use it this weekend, weather permitting...

[99dub]

In the 60s here, but that didn't stop me from washing and waxing yesterday :) Doing some detailing this afternoon too.

[Lnzbug]

I'm gonna wash him today but first I'm taking pictures. He's covered in bug splats and it's not even summer yet.

[yellowherbie]

Dublin's getting another bath later tonight. I gave her a really great scrub down last Friday and by Saturday a few birds decided to use Dublin as their toilet! Three different places, I could swear they were hawks with the runs.....lol..One on the upper windshield and two spots on her bum. And, with black carpet, I need to vaccum like twice a day. You can see EVERYTHING. And I like to keep her looking beautiful!!!

[BeetleCouture]

If it doesn't rain this weekend (however with my luck you can never be too certain!) I shall be washing, clay baring, waxing, shampooing, detailing, and painting.

It's going to be a long weekend, but I'm really excited to start with all of my new goodies I've recieved in the mail!

Yeah, Nothing like washing your nb in hot weather!!:crunk: :leapfrog:

[Maggadog]

Did mine yesterday. Took half the time it used to take to clean my Dakota.
Still call my NB my "truck" though.

[ghostRder1]

I'd like to clean mine but here it's been cold windy and rainy. :(

[captbp]

Started Monday bathed, waxed, massaged, ran my hands all over her....wait I'm getting carried away. Also had the starter removed and cleaned and a nail removed from a tire. Finished the last coat of wax this morning. All in all a good week so far :D

[yellowherbie]

Mine is still dirty, I just dont have the time. I wish I could pay some one to clean it.

Hmm....

[ghostRder1]

Got mine washed this pass weekend. :D

[d_merry]

[Lezliej]

[SPIRU]

I need to wash and wax Black this weekend if it doesn't rain.

[Silver04]

Last weekend I detailed the interior of my wife's '05 Cyber Green NB. We have a 4 1/2 year old son that she takes to school each morning. Well, after so many trips back and forth, her tan interior was filthy. (Small cupholders = lots of spilled Starbucks caramel machiattos) I got up early and washed the exterior and then began work on the interior. She has the leatherette upholstery which made it sooooooo easy to clean with some cleaning wipes. It took some time, but it looked almost new again after I got done. I'll be doing mine next!!

[iScott]

Gonna do some interior cleaning today. But, damn, it's so hot.

[Witchywoo]

i did mine yesterday, the first time without rain for a couple of weeks and i was out there straight after work. i'm sure the novelty is gonna wear off soon but enjoyed it.
only prob is that i'm in a flat so was hauling buckets of water up and down 2 flights of stairs, very gracefully of course!
its so much easier to clean lily-poos than bob, cos of the shape, only takes a bucket and a half of water to rinse.
i'm gonna try and find something like those california dusters that you guys have, that dashboard is a task!

[yellowherbie]

Hell NO. Not today.

[blueelephant1212]

i so wanted to wash my elsie bug for the last FIVE days, but it's been a WET 5 days.... it's starting to flood all around here. :( poor elsie bug is so dirty, but no let up in the rain! i feel like it's the middle of wet season! and we normally don't have one! doesn't look good for next couple days either... feel sorry for all the northeast bugs, we're all wishin the rain'd go away!

[captbp]

Today was a good day to wash off the bugs I ran into on my road trip. Also opened a new can of Meguiar's NXT wax. :D

If you keep the front end (at least) waxed they come off much easier. And use warm water too. One of these days when Chip gets really buggy I'll take pics. Then we can have a contest with the buggiest bug buggin

[ViningsGal]

I washed my bug today! It looks great! You can sure see the tar on the Harvest Moon though! Extra elbow grease anyone? I'm pooped!

[yellowherbie]

Well, my friend was carrying her potato salad bowl on her lap, and yes, in my car, in the passenger seat. I dont know what she was thinking, but the lid came off,-- potato salad on the seat. I just about died...:mad:

I have used Tuff Stuff for the last two days, the more ya scrub the better this stuff works. Gotta love it :heart:


I wont have cloth seats ever again!

[ghostRder1]

After much rain. I just finish waxing bandit. I ordered a front end cover front carbras.com. So i'm prepared when it's delivered.

[captbp]

Speaking of rain did mine this week NXT wax and all, went out to dinner last night and got rained on :mad:

[ghostRder1]

Today rain expected but the weather is getting warmer and hope to give bandit a good wash in a few days. :)

Update
March 28th. I washed bandit today but it had to be fast, was meeting a friend for an early dinner.
