dirty bird

Is there a washing station on your field? Ask the FBO. If it's like
ours, it's just a hose. Bring your own bucket, soap, etc. I know what
you mean about the dirt. It's amazing. I was using a kennon cover made
out of sunbrella. That thing really showed the dirt. I would still
recommend a quality cover. It really protects the plexiglass.

One other thing, clean your windows or at least your windshield after
every flight. Some recommend pledge. I use Meguires plexi cleaner
with a flannel cloth. Always move the cloth vertically up and down the
windshield. Never in circles. It just seems like those little bugs are
easier to clean after landing than a couple of days later.

Isn't great having your own plane? I've flown more in the past year
that I thought I would and I plan to fly more this year. I was planning
on going out today but 40MPH gust are beyond my comfort level.

A question for those of you who tie down:

I flew just a couple days ago, then went out to the airport today. I was
APALLED at how dirty my plane got!
We had a little rain, and there's been frost in the morning, but I still
couldn't believe how dirty she was.

Does anyone have a good method for washing their plane out on the tarmac?
Is it even possible?
I was thinking of bringing gallon jugs of water out.

I'm interested to hear your solutions.

Thanks,
