I always love washing my car. Living in Kansas can prove to be difficult because of the harsh winter we have because its Kansas the weather can be very sporadic so we can have a day of 60 in the middle of a week with below freezing temps. That make it even easier to wait till the weather break to do a nice detailing on my exterior.

I suffer.
I'll hit up the coin operated pressure washing bays down the street.
They recently added a touchless automatic car wash around the corner from me as well, I might give that a try.

My car goes under covers as soon as the snow flies. No washing until she hits the road in mid April/early May.

I cant stand to see a dirty black car so I have to wash it no matter what. But then again it dosent really get to cold in Vegas anyways.

a hot water hookup in the garage.

A hot water heater can have a lot of mineral deposits, meaning the water will heavily leave water/mineral spots all over the car.

My name is Tonna Carlo, Winning Attractions Street Rod Customizing. I was on the Discovery Channels, Monster Garage build team 16- WEDLOCK. I have produced over 44 Best In Show Winning Customer Owned Vehicles in all these years and hav'nt attempted to keep track of their class placements. I started my life with my Mom at Lions Dragstrip and it was her and Ed Roth that gave me my start. Later I was at Barris House Of Custom when it was accross from the Stonewood Shopping Center. Then Art Sommers started me in Pinstriping when he was in LA in a small 2 car garage. I guess the rest is history. I am now working on Chuck Liddel's 4x4 Iceman Truck and Rod Karpenian of Quick Cut Sanders came over so as to get me set up with some new products and get some shots of Chucks Truck. Soon be done with the airbrushing and the tilt bed then it is heading to the SEMA event in 2010.
Well, Guess that is it for the Intro.....Thanx, Tonna
