My second mod
Technically my first mod was the application of the Clear Bra, so this is my second modification. And it's not a mod to the car at all.
I have washed/waxed the car 3 times now (it only has 1300 miles on it, and it's a daily driver). I'm probably being obsessive compulsive about this, but I use a different rag for each step in the process. I have a cloth I use to wash the car, two towels I use to dry the car, a cloth to put Z-2 on with, a cloth to remove Z-2, a cloth for Z-6, a cloth for Z-9, a cloth for Z-10 (I was given the Ultimate Kit as a gift), a cloth for cleaning the windows, pads to clean the tires, and a pad to apply the tire wetter. You can imagine, that's a lot of towels and rags. I try to hang up my towels, and not set them anywhere they could pick up debris. But, with so many items, I was running out of places to hang all these things.
My wife suggested buying hooks for the wall. I didn't like this for two reasons. It at away at precise garage floor space, and the towels would be touching drywall (notoriously dusty), which would mean wet walls. But I liked her hook idea. So a quick trip to the local home improvement store, and TA DA! MrMophandle's Towel Rack!
So its not the prettiest thing you've ever seen. And I'm sure there's better ways to solve my problem, but hey, it works. I've been on these forums for 2 years now, and I've only sapped information. I thought it was time to share something back. I hope someone sees this, and gets inspired, or says 'What an idiot, but a nice thought.'
