Gave Orbit a bath today

[Blue Star]

I went to my dealership today, and as Malcolm (of Malcolm Smith Motorsports) walked by he asked me "why is this unit so dirty, is it one of ours?" I was so embarrassed as I explained how the gardener blows dirt around when doing the landscaping, and I did not put the cover on it last night. I should have washed it before I left, but had to leave to make my appointment time. I have had Orbit for two months now, and I have learned a thing or two about giving her a bath. First, do not use the drive-through car wash, as you get too wet. Second, and most important, a good 30 minute ryde on the freeway dries up all those spots you can't reach. By the way, I was joking about the drive-through car wash part. So now if you excuse me, I think I need to dry Orbit some more.

Is it ok to use rubbing compound on the Spyder Tupperware?

 

[SpyderWolf]

I have not been able to ryde since hurting my ankle. My poor Spyder currently has a nice thick layer of green pollen on it. Anyone who has ever been in the south at the start of spring knows how everything turns green from the pollen. :gaah: I could try to get out there and clean it off, but it will just be green again in a matter of hours. I will wait to take care of it when I am finally able to ryde it again.

if you can afford a gardener, have him wash it.

Wow.

First time I have met him, but I reconized him from photos. He has a small museum in his dealership about his racing days. Nice guy, when he walked into the building a customer (I assume) went up to him, shook his hand, and took a photo with him.

I wish I had grass to mow, and if I did, I would cut the grass myself. Leaves me with more $$ for mods. The gardener works for the apartment complex I live in. Thus, why Orbit is parked outside (she get's the covered parking space), and the dirt got blew onto her.

Now I would have a talk with the guy who blew dirt all over the Spyder and show him the garden hose!

If you do there's a good chance you'll dull the Tupperware.
There is some rubbing compound made for plastic, but i won't chance it.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I won't for three reasons. First, It was my stupidity anyhow as I normally have her covered but was too lazy after a ryde to cover her. Second, Only I touch Orbit (knowingly). Third, I am moving this weekend so he won't get the chance to dirty her again.
