Bathing the elephant

[mccrosti]

Just got done giving a thorough cleaning to our 72 Overlander .... Awnings are next. Kinda like bathing an elephant without the mess

Looking good there Dave. Bathing an elephant is definately an all day job and requires 12-18 helpers.

John,

Next time I'm calling you! Lure your 18 helpers with the idea that they're gonna get a day on the lake

Looks nice! What's your method? Cleaner? Tools?

Splitrock,

Thank you. I use a little giant ladder to get to the roof which is probably why I have the backache I do now. I use a fairly stiff bristle brush to scrub the roof along with a wash mitt. I used Maguier's car wash on it. That's about it. Then you put a lot of time - 5 hours. And effort and she comes out pretty good.

I am going to buy some lacquer thinner and clear plastikote and remove the pattern baldness in the upper corners, then I'll recoat and see what that looks like.
