Got warm enough to wash the car. Big sponge, a bucket, some washing machine detergent, the garden hose, and there we are. Trouble is, the car looked OK after a NH winter BEFORE I washed it, and son of a gun, it looks about the same AFTER I washed it. Real cars, painted black, always looked 100 % better after a wash. A mud colored car looks about the same clean or muddy.
Give Mercury a couple of points. Wear points in the interior, like the door arm rests, are a nice slippery plastic, from which the grime comes right off with just a little Fantastick and a rag. Then do the floor and floor mats with the shop vac, and it's practically a new car. At 82K miles no less.
