Are you kidding! That is the best time to wash it. Free water, just grab
a bucket and a mit and go at it. I don't wash my truck at midnight
though. If I have nothing better to do at night and I can't sleep, I go
and wash my truck then. This is usually at about 2am. More stalls are
opened and you don't have to worry about construction dirtying up the
truck afterwards.(at least where I wash my truck, they are doing road
construction)
Oh by the way, I should be getting my stereo stuff installed soon. Can't
wait. A friend of mine asked me why I am spending around $1200 on stereo
equipment, I said, why not?! It doesn't void my warranty and it will
sound great. Will let everyone, who wants to know, how it all works out.
Later,
Geoffrey
