Title: BUS WASHING 101
Post by: boxcarOkie on April 05, 2015, 10:00:21 PM
"One thing I absolutely hate about bus ownership is washing the beast.  It is not on my top ten list or any bucket list available anywhere, and this includes Campin''' World. 

This time I got one of them "Epiphany things" you are always hearing about.  Upon our return from our latest jaunt the bus had the normal road dust and grime that seems attracted to the bus as though they are magnetic particles jumping onto a magnet.

Skillfully I will work my way around the coach with a wipe rag and copious amounts of elbow grease, pull it outside, and immediately watch the dirt and trash of man coat it again.  It is my very own personal "Black-hole of the Bus Community."

I use simple green.  Works amazingly well at getting the road scum, bugs and oil off.  http://www.homedepot.com/p/Simple-Green-1-gal-Concentrated-All-Purpose-Cleaner-2730103613005/100060853 (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Simple-Green-1-gal-Concentrated-All-Purpose-Cleaner-2730103613005/100060853)

Good stuff as far as detergent is concerned, but I personally do not like the odor of it.  It will cut thru it all as you say, but it is kind of the "Ben Gay" of soaps.

Jus Sayin.
