Default Gotta love a clean black Vette!

Decided to clean the car today on this nice, hot 90 degree day...notice the car gets a lot more stares when it's clean

Oh, and all I did today was wash it with Meguiar's Gold Class car wash, and nothing else. No clay bar, no wax, no polish. A simple 20 minute wash and dry. That black paint is amazing when clean.

A complete wash in 20 minutes? I need someone to show me how to do that. It takes me that long just to do the wheels and tires! I did a complete wash and dry last night (with Master Blaster) and the whole job took me two hours.

Looks good. Black cars are a great part time job.

It took me 45 minutes yesterday to do my black vette, and that was a quickie for me. Thanks for sharing. Looks great.

Nothing like clean and shiny Corvette, and love your color.

Looks fantastic! I also use Meguiars Gold Class.

20 minutes? Wow that is a lot faster than I can wash mine. It takes me 90 minutes to completely wash, dry and detail my Vette.

How many beers does it take you? It usually takes me 2 to 3 beers washing my Vette.
