Ever wash it before work?
It's been storming for a week straight and my car is FILTHY. All the ZR-1's are in town too. I just can't take it anymore, I've got to wash my car. I woke up early, it's warm outside, I've got an hour and a half before I need to be at work.

I keep mine pretty clean but when there's a lot of pollen in the air I'll rinse it off every morning begore I take it to work.
Don't want folks to think my Vette's not something special by letting them see it dirty.

Re: Ever wash it before work? (stillthere)
When I first bought mine, I did that. I washed it if it was dirty enough that other people would notice, but inevitably it would rain the next day, and I'd have to repeat the whole process. Also, not having a garage to keep it in at night really makes it an excercise in futility. So now, I try to keep it covered and only drive it on nice days, and just give it a decent detailing every other weekend.

Every time I drive it to work it gets washed in the morning. Sometimes owning a black vette is a PIA.

Re: Ever wash it before work? (Nathan Plemons)
I generally don't wash my corvette. Mine came with a little button on the console that turns on the "air and ground pollutant forcefield". It wasn't cheap but it sure saves lots of time........ :leaving:
