    Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.

    Wrong does not begin to describe the crime that has been committed here.

    This is either a FELONY $500+ IN DAMAGE or just a complete embasell. Either way you know some detailer in Chicago gotta phone call saying "I have a little paint problem"

    Tempera (poster) paint? I *think* a liquid detergent is used as one of the binder components. I wonder if it really suds up when water hits it.

    I like the idea of the DIY wash bay for initial wash/rinse, but if you don`t want to attract the ire of the owner there will probably be almost as many quarters dropped cleaning up the bay afterwards as cleaning up the car itself.

    I will say that was one brave owner to use their vehicle for, what I can only assume, a fund raiser.

    Re: Is there such a thing as too dirty???

    I`ve got the solution....

    It involves wet roads, a fishtail, and a flip on the guardrail all culminated with a perfect dismount.

    Voila - new vehicle on the way.



    I am really glad I can "laugh" about it now... I know I shouldn`t be joking about that sort of thing, but hey....
    I still don`t believe in grit guards.
