The other day I was backing into a spot when either a lowered Lancer or a wingless new gen Evo came around the corner (it was pretty dim outside). He slowed down to a crawl and we exchanged waves. There's also a tuned 2.5i and what I think is a silver WRX sedan with an STi wing.

            The waterless wash is Ultima Waterless Wash +. It's basically a quick detailer on steroids, an extremely high lubricity cleaner that allows one to simply gently wipe dirt off of their paint without microscratching it. When mixed a little stronger, it can be used as a "rinseless wash," where you wash your car like normal with a mitt and all, but you don't have to rinse anything.

            I'm "not allowed" to wash my car at my residence (landlord pays for water)... so this is my work around. Plus, I'm pretty anal about keeping my car clean. This past month has been killing me in that regard!
            There's a couple Evo MR's over there, which are "wingless" Evos.

              I was definitely on 89 today. Had to get some bushing grease in Lebanon. My license plate is "INGENUR"

              Installed a full set of poly shifter bushings last night... dang that concrete floor was cold!

                    Hey y'all,

                    Just moved here from Indiana in January for a post-graduation job in NH. The curvature and elevation changes of your roads are far superior to most of the midwest.

                    I've had a myriad of cars, most of which were embarassing. Right now I'm in a 2014 Subaru STi 5D. No power mods yet, mostly little DIY stuff to tide me over through the winter. Nameless Performance ABE. Shifter bushings tomorrow afternoon. Swaybars next month. Typical small talk, y'know.

                    Before moving out here, I raced non-wing USAC/MSCS 410 sprint cars, midgets, and mini-sprints. It was a fun 8 years, but I gave it all up to move out here. Something will inevitably fill the motorsports void. RallyX...Hillclimb...Drift... who knows. It's only a matter of time until I build a track car

                    Anyways, I hope to make some connections up here and get with the car crowds. Purdue had a strong auto enthusiast community... time to find the same out here!

                              I finally did my Ultima Waterless + wash last friday. It didn't come out too badly.

                                Nice, looks good. What are your initial thoughts of the product and the process?
