I mean, did you need to re-load, or did one clip do it?

That would have been to much work, I mean having to clean my gun and all afterwards. just not worth the effort.

This'll probably start something,but here goes: In the 13 months I've had my Viper I've never washed it except for the wheels, after taking them off one at a time. My Viper isn't driven in the rain so it doesn't get "dirty". I use a California duster to knock off the dust, then clean various areas one at a time with McGuires quick detailer spray, then I wax those areas with McGuires wax. I may take a week or more to finally "get R done" completely, but I'm the only driver and the only maintainer, plus I paid for the whole sheebang, so it really doesn't matter to me what anyone else thinks. I unwind with my quality time with my Viper. The only fabric that touches the body is clean microfiber, so there are no swirl marks in the paint. Long in comeing and well loved. My .02

In that week I've put another couple hundred miles on my car having fun.

C'mon. Squirt some water on it.

I take it you don't own a black car. I used to do like that with my red vette , I would wash it once amonth and then do as you described. Car looked clean most of the time. My black Viper I don't think will be as forgiving.

Exactly.

Once you driven it the only way to clean without introducing swirls is with soap and water. The only exception is using the QEW method I posted in the car care section.

First weekend of great weather is free. $99.95 for a single weekend day after that. $149.95 for a 2 day package.

Just mail me a bunch of cash and I'll get to work on it.

make sure when you pop the hood to clean the top of the side sills real good and put on a coat of paint sealant(synthetic wax) to protect them from the crap that accumulates on top of em.

HAVE FUN!!!
