You know you are obsessed when...

...you are washing your car and notice that the rinse water has frozen.

And your hand is frozen in the bucket gripping the sponge.

I have washed my vehicles in the rain before, get that road grime all over the sides and windshield. easier to wash off when already wet. I have a long handled brush and a bucket of soapy water, give her a lick and a promise .

Rain is the best time to wash...the dirt is well soaked and it washes away any hard water that would leave spots.
