Being the first warm sunny genuine Spring Day it was the official Wash the Car Day for Dads all over town. Moms were kept occupied cleaning up the yard with the kidlets - at least up & down my street. The coin washes were busy every time I went by so I spent a worthwhile afternoon washing the Sprocket Rocket by hand in the driveway. First the engine bay was liberally scrubbed down with Dunk Degreaser and hosed clean. What fun...and that led to detailing inside and out. This is a fine way to meet the neighbors as we emerge from the hibernation cocoon - there were a few "hey, My Mom/Aunt/female relative had a vacuum like that when I was a kid" comments. 
Digging out grit in the interior seams with toothpicks and wiping down all those coffee spills, the Vacuum of Choice in honor of Robert's Find of the Month was the Lewyt 120 Big Wheel. Perfectly nimble & powerful to tag after me and compact & light to set down inside the wagon. (Lady across the street was trying to use her Dyson to do the same thing and man, was that noisy! She didn't look too happy wrestling with the hose.) Oh well. That thinnest of crevice tools is just the thing for reaching down into those hard to get at places between the seats and under the spare tire well. Got some Lexan polishing compound and restored the transparency to the headlights & fog lamps - after all, it is a 10 year old car and winter & cross country trips do take their toll. I used the Turb0tool buffer with the Lewyt to buff the lenses clear and the paint's real wax job...after touching up a few scratches. Its gleamy! I just know this will all make the Subbie go faster. Looking forward to seeing this week's rain bead up and roll off. LOL
After dinner I'll busy myself cleaning up some vacuum parts.
