I have a patchouli air freshener in my bus too.  How'd you know? |

| I notice these all look like hot climes. Unfortunately where i live it is pointless to wash it very often when its not summer. There is a thick coating off mud on it all winter...and it takes about 10 miles for it to come back. |

Any one ever try a clay bar on your Bus paint after your wash? You would be amazed at the crap the clay will remove. After you finish with the clay bar then you wax your Bus. Your paint will feel like glass.

OOOH Clean buses!
Heres my 77! This pic was taken last weekend, after a nice bath, but before we had some fun with it at dinner time! I washed it yesterday again, to get a nice coat of wax on it, cleaned out the cabinets, and a nice scrub down with some Pledge made it all nicey nice... More pics when I take em!

Nice and clean, that makes a Bus happy.
Where's the top portion of your oil filler tube and the cap?

Just got done detailing the heck out of the bus to run the kids to the prom. Might as well enjoy this part of life while I can...
Zippy Wash, turtle wax, windex...economical but effective. I waxed the paint inside as well as out...never looked better. Time to be a limo driver...
