After a multiple Saturdays of Christmas shopping and similar Sundays of golfing, Kahu was pretty dirty filthy.
As 2006 comes to an end and we welcome in 2007 I figure I’d give Kahu a nice once-over in anticipation of the upcoming weekend parties. I haven’t purchased any auto cleaning tools for a while now and thought today would be a good a time as any. A short trip and a $135 later I believe I have a great starter set:

As the weather made a turn for the worse, I was forced to ditch my waxing effort and concentrate on other aspects of Kahu’s bath: Interior detailing and tire cleaning.
The Round the Island adventure last weekend caused a lot of brake dust to coat my rims. A quick shot of Turtle Wax F21 Wheel cleaner quickly took care of that … although I believe the coat of wax applied by the dealership would have proven sufficient.
Kahu’s Christmas present from Terri & Duane, it’s called an Ionic Breeze Car Ionizer Air Purifier. It supposedly filters out the impurities from the air and allows for an odor-free environment. With the few remaining days as a smoker (New Years Resolution) I will be extensively testing the integrity of this device.
