Gotta be honest I've fully washed my 4Runner maybe twice in the two and a half years I've owned it so I'm pretty sure it'll survive to the end of the summer. Or next summer, lol.

"Hand watering of trees, shrubs, flowers, decorative planters and vegetable gardens using a spring-loaded shutoff nozzle, containers or a drip irrigation system is permitted. "

| How are you guys washing your cars with the stage 3?
I just cleaned the car for $3 at a wand wash place. Car is all clean. LOL.
I had part of my car XPEL wrapped by a local detailer so I can clean that part with just a wet towel. If I create any fine scratches it self heals within 30 minutes. The rest of the car has a hard ceramic coating so not much will stick to it. Perfect for quick pressure washes.

unfortunately it will take maybe a solid week of rain to get us out of the restrictions

Thankfully I managed to wax both cars right before stage 3 went in, so every few weeks I've just been taking them to a wand wash.
Never using the brush of course, just a soak with the wash soap, then a rinse. Actually does a decent job.
My black car on the other hand...
She needs a proper wash. The rinse method just ain't cuttin' it lol.
But even when we get rain, it's gonna take a while before the stage 3 is lifted. It's been dry for so long, we have a lot of catching up to do lol.
