The perils of the truck

I love my truck, but when it comes time to pay the piper (wash & wax), I wonder why I bothered getting it. I spent all day on the thing and I'm exhausted. At least it looks OK now...for a day or two anyway. Black is impossible to keep clean.

I am, however, now a convert to the wool wash mitt and California Water Blade. The mitt worked amazingly well (my parents always had me using those big soft sponges; never seemed to work well) and the Blade literally wipes the water off your vehicle - so much faster and better than drying with towels. The Blade was a little sticky in spots, but I imagine with a recent coat of wax on the finish, it'd be much smoother.
