Default How do you Wash your Cobra? And, what kind of wax, if any, do you use?

Myself, I fill up a bucket with distilled water. Then I get a towel made with the finest Egyptian cotton, washed in rain water, and dried in the warm air, out of the direct sunlight. Turn on the stereo in the garage; some appropriate music would be some New Age music, with ethereal keyboards, harps, and woodwinds. Then I start at the back of the Cobra. First, I wipe off all the "visual daggers" from the eyes of all the Corvette and Viper and Porsche owners that I have beaten since the last cleansing. There are usually a lot of those. Starting with the rear, moving forwards along the voluptuous bodywork. Always a lot of bugs on the front of the Cobra; be sure I carefully extract all the bugs' guts from the radiator. Final dry with another fine Egyptian cotton towel, (no lint!) I use a Meguiar's Wax system; the Cobra sits in the garage under a cover, so very little "dirt" ends up on the Cobra, and it is easy to keep waxed! Of course, now that the Cobra is clean, I gotta drive it around to show it off, so I change the music to some Heavy Metal, and away I go!
