...it makes time disappear.

I just spent the last 2 1/2 hours on Red Racer. At first, I was just going to give it a quick wash/dry. Well...after I washed it, I decided to clean the insides of the wheels and since I was there, I did the wheel wells too.

After it was all dry, I remembered that I'd planned to vacuum it out so I did; both inside and in the back. Then I decided while I was at it, I'd detail the dash area and after that, I went ahead and applied Amour All to the front spoiler, all 3 sections.

Thought I was through until I remembered that I needed to try out that new Meguiars Insane shine tire stuff I picked up the other day. That's some good stuff, by the way.

Since I was in that area, I sprayed some Amour All on the wheel well areas and now those look real good too.

No such thing as a "quick" wash job on a Corvette. Anybody know what I mean?

Happens to me almost every time! I think I can wash it really quick, but next thing you know, 3 hours have gone by. Atleast it is time well spent.

Hey I just did a 'quick' wash today too. Its funny how it just keeps going from one thing to the next, and the better it looks the more you do. Its beautiful.

Later,
