Just got my 2017 ST a couple of weeks ago. I made damn sure they didn't put the front license plate bracket on it. Being in ohio myself, I know my days are numbered until I get pulled over for not having it.

You’ll be fine, it is a secondary offense. Just don’t get caught speeding or anything else. I ordered mine and the fuckers had it on before I could have a say. I don’t think it looks terrible but for right now it’s staying.

I like all the foam cannon posts but I have a stupid question. Do you still scrub it down after soaping it up?

Ideally, you foam cannon the car, then hose it off, then go back to 2 bucket method/conventional wash. The purpose of foam cannon is to loosen up any particles that could potentially scratch your paint and wash them away before you scrub with a sponge.

Yep, 2 bucket microfiber mitten scrub down. Cuts washing time substantially.

I pressure wash the car thoroughly with water first to get any loose dirt off and then I use the foam cannon. Scrub the car with my wash mitt (soap still on the car) bug sponge the front bumper, then wash it off again with the pressure washer and dry it. The soap just sitting on the car won't do anything to help break up the dirt.

Been doing this for almost two years and I've got no swirls or scratches in my paint.
