ha ha I think you are trying to say Don't Rice It... I could be wrong though


With the cleaning of cars there is probably a bigger list than those 5 rules, but they are a good start.. I would think most people would know those things though used:

What's all this washing your car all about? Never heard of it.

Considering points 1-5 seem to deal with taking care of your cars duco, I'm not sure what the engine has to do with it?
