Friends: 0 |  Something to love about it After many years as a one car family (we've always had a mini-van) we got a 2007 Prius last week. So far so good but today I discovered something to love about it that I hadn't anticipated. It is so quick and easy to WASH!! I should have known, back in the '80s I had a Honda CRX that was the same way. It was always clean because it was so dang easy to keep it that way. Hopefully this weekend I can get around the whole car with the clay bar, polish it with the Porter-Cable dual action and get it covered in Klasse. I did the Odyssey over a week ago and it looks amazing but I'm sure the much smaller Prius will be more fun! - D |

Friends: 9 | Re: Something to love about it Yeah, I wash once a week and polish/wax once a month on average with Zaino. When I got my Prius my dad got the redesigned Santa Fe. I told him don't worry, I'll wash yours along with mine... That didn't last long, it is such a pain in the ass to wash. Now he's getting a 2010 like me, and since he is getting black and I hate seeing a dirty black car I think I'll be having double duty ahead of me! |

Lol, Thanks but I cannot lie... When we both bought houses we bought ones next door to one another so it makes it a bit more convienent. And hey, my parents watch our very soon to be 3 year old while we're at work so it's the least I can do considering nothaving to deal with a baby sitter. Maybe if you got a Vette and told him he could drive it he'd be more incliced to come over and wash it Fred Lol | |

Friends: 0 | Re: Something to love about it I just spent all day detailing my Mom's 2002 Odyssey. 147,000 miles on the car and it shows, never had more than the rare trip through the automated car wash. I'm about half done at this point! |
