Easy Vahicle to wash?

[CMasten]

This is the first chance I had to wash my new Pilot. Its been raining here non stop since Jan! Has anyone noticed just how easy this vehicle is to clean? Not a lot of the nooks and crannies that my other cars have had and its a snap to wash. My TL was pretty easy to clean but my wifes Odyssey has lots of little places that water likes to drip out of for hours afterwards.

The rear spoiler has a tendency to drip for awhile after a wash. My Pilot needs a washing more often due to the snow and salt of the Midwest Winter conditions.

I swear, Honda purposely makes "drip points"....on the wife's old Integra it was the tail lights, and the Pilot, its the rear windows. And the mirrors are always a pain to get the water out of (most are).

I find it a little difficult to wash around and under the cross bars, but other than that, its pretty easy. Waxing isn't too bad, either, except there's a LOTTA roof up there, and those crossbars get in the way again.

On my Explorer, I used to fold a paper towel twice (into quarters) and slide it between the bottom of the mirror and the bottom of the mirror enclosure. That would wick most, if not all, the water out. I've only washed my Pilot once so far due to all the rain here, and I think I did the same thing.

Mike, the wife and I got the car in late September and we've only washed it once!

Yep, that works for me too.

I find there is a very small gap on the front, rear, and door panels between the door and the plastic molding about half way down. Being white I can see this strip of dirt that can only be removed with a tiny strip of a cloth rag. I find it extremely annoying and a pain to clean. My old Jeep Grand Cherookee had similar plastic half way down the doors but it was tight flush against the door with no gap so no problem.
Otherwise cleaning is pretty good. Just finding the time to do it is the hard part.

That's about the last time I washed my car!
