You would think the hotel would have a spot near the building with a hose and bucket. Maybe even towels!!!Thumbs%20Up Thumbs%20Up Thumbs%20UpThumbs%20Up Thumbs%20Up

Hotels will normally provide a place to rinse/wash your cars for large groups, but....they will NOT allow the use of their towels...fair enough. Bring your own, or you can probably get some at a local store.

joel, this is just between you and me:  You go visit with a friend in his room, say hey I'll help you with washing your car if you help with mine, then as you are leaving his room you snag a couple of towels, if he questions you ya just say, in case you can't score any from the pool we will use yours and I'll give you one of mine later.  Buy the time you are all done, dinner drinks, and what need, he'll forget about the towels.  When the hotel is lookin for a person to pay for those towels, guess who's room is going to be short on towels.

Uh....Larry....this is not a P/M....you jest let th' cat out of the bag on a forum thread...now everyone knows not to let YOU into their room!!!!


When we went to the NCRS Nationals in Galveston, the hotel did provide us with old towels to us for washing our cars. With what they were charging for the rooms, they should have had people to wash the cars for us!

Ummm Larry, #1: You won't be shaking any bugs off the front of your vette, #2:  I won't be using any old hotels towels on my finish doh

When I drove my truck to Vegas in April a few years back, it was the worst thing I'd seen in a long time. I think I killed every butterfly in Northern California with my truck.  Its gonna look bad by the time we get to CC Shocked

I figured we could let Terry lead the way on the trip down with his new vette. That way he would catch all the bugs so then there is only one vette to washLOL.
