What does YAOFUI mean? I hope it's nothing insulting. I'm only posting an innocent personal comment. |

So what's wrong with me posting a comment in this forum, I didn't insult anyone. Why do you take it upon yourself to attack me? Nevertheless, I forgive you!

No offense intended, but I honestly don't understand this. Outside of maybe just personal preference, what good is not driving in the rain doing? I mean, it's not like you are preserving the paint job/undercarriage of some expensive exotic, nor preserving the value of your truck. So, is it just personal preference, or am I missing something?

Well, this owner of a black H2 just has his detailed once a week. And at the end of the day, it's worth no less than theirs, and looks just as clean. This ain't no exotic, it's a fricking truck (with a sh|tty paint job from the get-go). |

I've washed mine by hand twice. The second time was only because I forgot how d*** long it took to wash it the first time. I've taken it to the local do-it-yourself places, but it usually ends up taking a few bucks to wash anyways. Now, I just take it to the local car wash and for $6 bucks get it washed and dried...then drive over to the vacuums and vacuum out for free....
Of course...It usually takes me a week or two following a stint off-road before I wash it....figure...why wash if it's just going to get dirty over the weekend again?
Here are some pics of the pinstripes I picked up a little over a week ago....

And a couple of those tell-tale finger smudges when you're thinking "Are all of those scratches, or just dirt?" LOL, got me some of those too. |

I can say this because I think it's funny. And because I'm me.
Oh, yeah, and I'm 1/16th Indian. |

I always wash my own cars and like all have mentioned, it takes hours just to wash it. That's why i have yet to wax it and it's 3 years old  Kudos to HUMMER for excellent paint job because my paint still looks as good as it did 3 years ago 
Btw, for those of you that haven't invest in one of those pressure washer, get it! It takes half the time, uses a lot less water, and does much better job. I also have a water softener at home so much less water spots. The only thing that worries me is the salt the softener uses  |

Morning dew is bad too. You go to bed and the truck looks great. Wake up and it looks like crap.
Thus, the garage is the safest place for black H2's.

Go to bed??? Heck, it looks great for the first couple of seconds out of the carwash, by the time I get home, it needs another bath...
