Car Washing Tip
After washing your C5/6, water is trapped behind the taillight lenses, and leaves a dirty trail below the lenses after you drive off.
For an easy solution, I tear off a small section of paper napkin (keep several in the glove box), and wedge it under the lenses while I dry off the rest of the car. The napkin acts as a wick to absorb the trapped water......just remove, and throw away before driving off. BINGO. the area below lenses is clean & dry!
Good tip Zip! I'll have to try that, because my air compressor is not always handy. It sure beats a bead of silicon around the lens.

Yep, that is a pain. I usually just stick the edge of a towel in there for a bit. The mirrors are also a pain. I can't believe how much water can hide in there. Thanks for the tip.
