Efnfast,

What do you think about using "Wet Paint"? A lot of people seem to like it but do you think it is safe?

Actually quite easy,change the spray pattern to something not quite so aggresive,direct the spray over and away from known leaks.Windshield from the top down,same with the doors.The rear window with top on, again from the top down.You are not going to stop all of the water from finding it's way inside.In my case with no carpet on the floors it is much less of a hassle and worry.Do it enough and you will figure it out.

Atlantacobra: We need a picture!

I've had mine 20+ years and never used a washbucket or hose on it yet. Spray detailer liberally preceded by a California Duster.

Talking Washing my Cobra

I can appreciate wanting to keep a $10K paintjob looking as best it can. I personally believe no amount of time or expense are enough. I collect only the purest mountain spring water and truck it 400 miles home. I wash my Cobra only when the air temp is between 74-76 deg F and there are no clouds in the sky. I first set up my bird distractors to scare away all of the birds in the neighborhood and settle in to wash.

I use only the finest homemade organic non-polluting soap with a mit made from imported Egyptian cotton that has only been handled in its life by virgins. I then sprinkle the mountain spring water on and say a quick prayer given to me by a Tibetian monk. I measure out exactly 300ml of soap and apply in straight lines that are marked by a laser guide. AFter allowing to sit for exactly 12 minutes, I rinse with spring water, followed by a quick dry using only a leaf blower. Then a second rinse and dry with leaf blower.

Then I dab moisture spots with virgin Egyptian cotton towels.

THERE....NOTHING TO IT

Just a little levity boys....actually I do use the leaf blower. Couldn't find a single virgin however for the cotton towels....
