So, one of the things that I was asked on Twitter was to do a Periscope with the Model S. It’s a little difficult because the only device that I have space for the videos is an iPad. Well, that’s pretty bulky and hard to shoot the Periscope (or Meerkat) while I drive the Model S. So, earlier today, I was inspired to wash the Model S when I was following the folks at Teslaroadtrip.org do their 2015 “Reach the Beach” edition<\/a>. So, I figured, why not just do two things at the same time.<\/p>\n

So, how do I wash a car in drought conditions. Well. I learned from my detailer Moe Mistry at Glistening Perfection<\/a>. Granted, this is what I heard and internalized and hope that I remembered his instructions properly. Moe’s methods are very precise and excellent. What I did today is what I would call my “in a rush” method, so it works, but not the most detailed one that I could have done.<\/p>\n

Before I start washing the car I hook up my CR Spotless system DIC-20<\/a> to the hose and a low power pressure washer to the CR Spotless. The CR Spotless is great because it doesn’t let water spots form on the car. The pressure washer is great because it lets me use only the water I need to complete the job. \u00a0When I’m not using it, water stops flowing.<\/p>\n

Step 1 is Cleaning the Tires and Wheels<\/strong><\/h1>\n
