I have heard so many horror stories regarding problems following the "cleaner/hose" method on the S197s that I've never attempted it. Instead, I took a full day to clean mine by hand, and that meant dipping a long handled brush in a bucket of suds and scrubbing in some hard to reach places. After that, I just keep it looking pretty every time I wash it. Laura and I (07caligtstang) spent an afternoon doing hers, and it was pretty dirty, but it ended up looking better than right off the dealer lot after we sprayed it with detail shine.

so pretty much wash by hand and let air.
what kind of detail shine did you use like the quick detail

Pinnacle Natural Brilliance. I don't like the over glossiness that Armor All brings, and this stuff is just shiny enough and lasts well with engine heat.

cool thanks john i will try to look for it cause we dont sell it at my job but i will check around

No problem. Got mine from autogeek.com, by the way...

I clean my by had as well with same process but I use my shop vac to blow any excess water out and to dry it.
