REELNAUTI4U: I like and agree with your reasoning. Just curious, what exterior color did you choose and why? I like white because it seems to be the easiest to keep clean the longest. Black?? Looks sharp but, I've been there, dusted that!
I had to go with the black . It is just to sexy when it is clean. For $ 34.95 per month I can get unlimited car washes. I will just let those guys do the work.

Black is cool but $34.95 a month? For a deal like that I'd buy black too. I spend $47 each week ($200. a month) or every time it is washed. How do you get a deal like that?

They have these deals all over Houston. I live in the Clear lake area and there is a detail shop on NASA Pkwy. that you can pay either $19. for a hand wash, vacum, and armorall or just pay 34.95 for unlimited hand wash and vacum. If you drive a car it is even cheaper. what is cool is the fact that the gentlemen that wash it get paid by the hour plus tips, so no halfa$$ work is done.

Sum beech, you reckon any of them want to open a franchise in my neck of the woods. Hell, I'd pay $40.00 a month for unlimited washes and supply my own armour all. Do you have to make an appointment or can you just drop in for a quickie?
