Caution: Dirty Picture

The cleaning process was a real bitch...and I'm STILL not done. First, I took it through a car wash...one of those that you pull into and the stuff goes back and forth a few times. That helped, but barely.

Then I went to a do-it-yourself pressure washer place. $15 later, it was starting to look like it did when I first bought it.

Then I took it to a really good car wash. They did a great job on the inside and outside, but the underbody and hood were still filthy.

So, I got home, climbed underneath, and started pulling out grass, reeds, and a few pieces of bark.

I'm still not done cleaning it. Have to take off the skidplate to get more out and there's still other crap that needs to be cleaned out of some small places. But, all in all, just getting that picture was well worth it. Plus, it was a REALLY fun day!

The best way I have found to clean the underbody is to stick a sprinkler under the truck for 15 minute "stations." Than move a little farther down. It works really well. I go the carwash first and get the majority out of the wheel wells, rock rails first.

At the church car wash the girls must have been pretty that day

Hummers look much better dirty! Nice job! Its ok to leave it a little dirty.

[H Duece]

I made sure to drive it around a while the next day...including to the dealership! The looks I was getting were priceless!

Haven't they named a couple of car washes after you by now?

Now we KNOW what the bottom of the Sippy Hole looks like! Didn't see any missing Race Queens in there, did you?

Was your H2 eating out an H1?

Sweet pic!

I have the pressure washer... just need to get the 2 dirty. The wife wants it to stay clean... That's not happening. Can't wait. I have heard of the sprinkler trick to clean the underbody. Gonna try that too.

HAHAHAHA! Been to the swamp buggy races, have you?

Actually, that Sippy Hole would be MUCH easier to get through than the stuff I was drivin' in. The picture was taken after a few hours of runnin' around in Lakeland, Florida (south west of Orlando).
