Default First Hand Wash of the Season...

After a long hard winter and not really washing the truck this past Sunday I decided to spend some time cleaning it. First hand wash of the spring. This is the third time I'm trying to make this post, hopefully the pics work but if not I'll provide links.

Post up your freshly washed trucks.

Also, does anyone know how to remove whatever this crap is from the tailpipe? I tried rubbing it off with my hand and a towel and it doesn't appear to want to come off.

Sorry for the links, not sure why but the forums for some reason are not accepting my photos.

Mine got a good wash this past weekend. Needs a clay and some Collinite. Blacks tough to keep clean. Finally got all of the road salt from the undercarriage.

If that is tar and road grime on your tail pipe try diesel fuel or WD 40.

I'm assuming it's crap from the roads from the winter. I'll try both of those methods thanks.
[MENTION=99415]dave91gt[/MENTION] I keep telling my wife I'd like to purchase a new power washer so I can do the underside of the truck. Our old one no longer works. She keeps telling me no. One of these times I'll get her to say yes. LOL

I usually end up doing that eventually.

That line applies to many, many situations with wives.

I got tired of the shoes/purses fight with my wife. Finally, I sort of caved...I told her I do not care how many pairs of shoes or purses she buys, but for every new one she brings home, she has to get rid of two. It worked perfectly for a while.
