Will do. I think I was looking through the new members stuff when I created the post and didn’t think about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks spiffy, now... about those wheel barrels.;) No offense, I always look at door jams and the wheel barrels when looking at a "cleaned" vehicle.

So do I! Wheel barrels especially since you can see them very clearly.

not sure what you mean. I scrub the wheel barrels with a long handled brush every time.

That right front inner wheel isn't smiling back through the spokes in the picture.

Yeah it’s probably due to the hard water here. It’s hard to dry the rest of the car and try to dry the inner wheel in time. So I just protect the paint best I can from water spots and not worry about the inner wheel.

I get it. Water is a pain to clean with. I use waterless wash for just wipe downs but when the car needs a deep clean it takes a while.

It’s a karr alarm. I guess the dealer puts these on all of their vehicles. I looked at the window sticker and didn’t see an additional charge for it. Apparently it deactivates the engine or something if it’s been stolen. Not really sure how it works. Will have to read up.

Probably something the finance department snuck in on the selling invoice. Something like that will not be on the window sticker.

It wouldn’t be on the window sticker at all since it is dealer installed aftermarket security system. It would be on a separate dealer provided “dealer sticker” or on the sale documents.
