I have to ask am I the only one that thinks it's ok the wash off your CTX while you take a shower? My wife said I was crazy because I do it when the machine needs a good cleaning it just makes sense to me and saves on water. So I hope one of you guys will say you do so I can show my wife I'm not the only one. Dig until your arm falls off

I think all of you have been out in the sun too long without the benefit of a tin foil hat...

It's far better to take a shower with the wife...just ask me and I will point out the benefits...just like washing a car...there's a bumper, several ..., never mind...:laughing7:

Good idea. I have placed mine under the water stream in the bathtub, but I have a shower wand in my stand up shower that I could try.

I can see it now on kellyco as part of a "treasure hunting package" when you order your CTX you get a shower cap and a soap on a rope with a Minelab logo on it.

All my equipment has a coating of car sealer (clear-coat). Nothing sticks, a damp cloth wipes away any dirt. If you know anyone that works at a new car dealership ask them for a cup of the stuff. They make their money selling the warranty, the mfg gives them the product. I get mine from a Honda dealership. Make sure whatever your coating is clean and brush or wipe it on. I use to use car wax and re-wax every year, one coat of this stuff lasts for years.

This has been brought up as a topic on watch forums, about showing with your watch on, and many don't because of the steam. I guess if you're taking cold showers it's not an issue... and there's clearly an opening for a joke with that one!

I have thought about that and when I clean it I make sure the water is not hot enough to make it steam up just to be safe.
