HHR --- Easy to Wash

Every time I wash this car I'm amazed at how
easy it is to wash. Nice and roundy no nooks or crannies,
could be I'm just getting lazyier.
Glad I didn't get that Hummer

Cheers, Bill

Bull. This car is a pain in the butt to wash or I should say dry, It has more places to seep water after a was than any car I have owned.

At first I almost hated I bought it but then I bought the Airforce car blow dryer and now I don't get the water dripping on the rear bumper, rockers, front bumpers and around the windows anymore. I used to wash then drive it to work and then have to wipe it down to get rid of the water streaks after the drive.

The Dryer saved my OCD sanity.

You need to buy some car wash that doesn't spot or streak. No need to dry.

And then, get under the hood/fender interface.....! Those overlapping body panels are a pain!

Yep, easy to wash, a PITA to dry. Bought a Metro-Vac dryer to combat all those drips and runs the HHR has after a wash. The best $80 purchase I've made in a long time.

I use my leaf blower to get the water out of the nooks and crannies but I do that on all of my cars. It gets strange looks from the neighbors sometimes.....

Uh, hope you are using an electric leaf blower. A lot of gas blowers route the exhaust out with the blown air. In turn you could be blowing small amouts of unburned 2 cycle oil onto your clean paint.
