Hey it's 30 degrees out: Clean your hood drains

We're having a heat wave in northwestern PA right now so I'm taking the time to detail the car and put a fresh coat of wax on right now inside my garage.

Well I discovered moisture on my floor mats and I pulled them. The metal beneath was dry thank goodness, but I decided now would be a good time to clean out the hood drains.

I put a hose into the hood drains over the summer back when I got the car out from storage.

I'm completely flabbergasted at the amount of grit that came out of the drain. I must not have cleaned it very well over the summer with the hose. Here's a pic at what came out:



For the record the garage floor was spotless before I shot the power washer through.

I'm going to have to make a mental note to clean them on a bi yearly basis. That is just disgusting.

Also, I think my wet floor mats are coming from my crappy good year winter mats. Does anyone have suggestions for MB approved winterized floor mats?
