The sun decided to come out yesterday afternoon so I raced home to get down on a car wash.  I’d been pretty upset that I hadn’t been able to wash it in nearly three weeks, so it was overdue.  Similar to my last wash, I used my new foam cannon and some other new wash chemicals that I got from the Chemical Guys.  As for my method, I’m piggybacking off what I’ve learned from Blake and the NorthWest Auto Salon guys when they did their 24 step car wash. See the products and more images after the jump!

Back in October I showed you this red GTV, which swung by NorthWest Auto Salon while we were there checking out the matte black Ford GT. Well last week NorthWest Auto Salon was detailing this beautiful yellow car for the Group 2 guys. This is still my favorite Giugiaro design, and one of my all time favorite Alfas. More pics after the jump!

Yesterday I showed you Blake’s new ’69 Continental project car. Well here’s another one he just picked up—an ’82 Dodge Rampage Sport! The tranny immediately took a dump, so he swapped in a 5-speed out of an Omni GLH. What else do you think he should do with it? More pics after the jump.

I don’t know about you guys but I’m obsessive when it comes to keeping my cars clean. So when it comes to detailing and auto care I’m always trying new product and equipment.  Needless to say, when I saw that Blake from NorthWest Auto Salon had a new toy I decided to get out of the office and check it out.

I first saw Blake showing it off in the AudiWorld Forums on a Touareg detail. The way I understand it is that the snow foam can be applied as the pre-soak after a thorough rinsing.  The key here is that the snow foam is designed to separate the dirt from the paint and to allow gravity to pull the resulting foam of the car. Looking around I don’t see a whole lot of companies using this tool, but I am reading some pretty great reviews about it and Blake tells me that he is working with some product designers on the best mixture for the cleaning agent. So check this thing out. More pics after the jump!

Here’s a time-lapse video of the Northwest Auto Salon guys doing an "enthusiast detail" on a 996 Turbo. It definitely shows the level of attention that is required if you truly want to get your vehicle clean. Blake will be doing some in-depth detailing tutorials for us in the near future, so stay tuned.

When Rob and I stopped by NorthWest Auto Salon recently, we had a blast. The guys couldn’t have been cooler, and we’re looking forward to heading back there in the next few weeks. Oh, and that matte-black Ford GT? It’s evil. Pure, unadulterated evil. Check out the footage.

On Wednesday while I was hanging around with the NorthWest Auto Salon guys and waiting for John to come back from his ride in the Ford GT, one of the Group 2 Motorsports guys dropped by with this gorgeous Alfa GTV. Man, I love these cars. More pics after the jump.
