RE: [DML] Heads-Up Display & Washing the car

Also, I have had good results from soaping up ye olde 3M pad & giving the Silver Bullet a nice, gentle massage during the wash. Don't know of many cars one can do THAT to & have it end up sparkling clean, when 30+ yrs. old. Drive Stainless Robert VIN 6924
