I have a home power sprayer. Should I try using that to shoot the dirt off the car? Or will it just cause more damage than anything else!?

I still havent put a fresh coat of wax on the car. I did put some Zymol on it a while back but I fear that its gone now!

Anytips for cleaning my baby up?

S2000 Driver:
No way am I gonna let anybody touch my car! I have enough troubles keeping it unscratched now nevermind sombody else hitting it with who knows what!

Well I will do just that. I did though for christmas get a tool to shoot water into the gutters to get leaves out and so on. I was like DAMB I can use that to get under the car and spray!

I actually saw a tool that had a long boom and basicly a roller skate on it to spray in a fan pattern directly up under the car. I was amazed!

So looks like its time to just hoze my baby down and let her sit! Though the convertable top is tough to leave alone. I got brown streaks on it now. The rear window im just going to leave for a while it keeps getting messed up.

Oh BTW: I now have a second resident of Milford that has a S2000! I liked being the only one. He has a yellow one. I have yet to meet him but should soon.

We need to get a CT meet together when the weather gets a bit warmer. I still have yet to meet you "S2000 Driver"

My car is full of snow, dirt and SALT!!!!
My garage isn't heated and the temperature isn't expected to be above freezing for the next few days.
In fact, we are getting 2 more days of snow starting tomorrow.

I finally got it washed! Though there were all kinds of black splatters on the car. Hard to get off.

Its clean for now!

A good painted cleaner will wipe the black spots right off. I use the Meguiar's Gold
Class Clear Coat Prep & Swirl Reducer for that.

LOL! I used to watch Speed Racer! Still do for a few minutes if its on.

Well there are actually a few people from CT I want to get together. You, Randy, DaveS2K(norwalk, you know him).

Drop me an e-mail for organization purposes.

And no I dont like sharing the block. I went a year and a month with no other S2000 owner registered in Milford! Maybe you should change your name from S2000 Owner to Racer X.
