Default Noticed the engine bay was dirty today......

SO, I figured I'd better clean it up a little. I vacuumed it out and then waxed my airbrushed pieces. Well, that led to detail spray on the rest of the car which lead to one more coat of wax which led to one more detail spray and finally a quick dip in the pool to cool me off. I'm tired..... Here are some pics of the fruits of my labor........pardon but they are iPhone pics.








And then, sweet dreams............

How could either of those engine bays be dirty ? You have an aseptic garage that meets food preparation standards from the pics. Cleaner than most fast food joints I have seen !

Very nice vettes......LOVE the White Z

The ZR1 wasn't too bad but the coupe is my DD - she had lots of rocks and sand in there. She's all better now.

Love my garage - I even mop it.

Stunning! It's nice that you have a garage floor that actually relects the car's image! (Nice cars to reflect too!!)

GM brand. It came with the car when I bought it. It's strictly indoor I'm wanting to get an outdoor soon for when I go to Vettes and jets on the Lex.

That's not crazy. That's GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. Nothing wrong with respecting what you've earned.

Looks great? Two question though. Who did your airbrush work under the hood? And when can I bring mine over for you to do next?

Steve Ray in Owensboro, KY has done both of my cars. You've seen allot of his work on here. He is amazing. I can't say enough about his talent. Boggles my mind.

Come on over - I'm doing the yard today - well maybe. Matter of fact, hubby asked me what I was doing today - hadn't I played with my cars enough? Little does he realize...................
