The key is to have a very understanding wife. ...our make sure she is sound asleep. Thankfully, mine was both at the time. The housing had been degreased, bead blasted,and rinsed in the laundry tub before hitting the dishwasher. Just wanted the hot water spray to give it a once over. She figured out out right away when she saw the dishwasher had been emptied overnight. If i had water in the garage i would love to have a dishwasher for a parts washer. I do have a dedicated oven in the garage for powdercoat.
I know that washing and waxing my car with the present condtion of my paint is like polishing a turd.....but it's my turd and I want it polished!
