Default What to do?

It's finally warm enough to cruise with the top down, which also means warm enough to clean up from the winter. Decisions, decisions...

Clean it after the drive - that's what I did!

Thanks,Matt

If married and the wifey wants anything done do it first. Then all the other time is yours to do what you want like you want to a point. I know this for being there for almost 33 years to the same woman..

Get out there and let those horses sing!
Like Madmatt9471 says, You can clean it later.
That way, you won't have to clean it twice, cause you know it will have to be cleaned after you return from your cruise.

So I took everyone's advice. Dropped the top and went for a long drive. Came home and started cleaning. 303'd all the rubber seals - there's a lot of them! Vacuumed the carpet and did a Zaino detail spray to get rid of the 303 overspray. Must be pollen season, cause immediately following the detail spray, my car was covered in some dusty substance. It never ends... But it's worth it!

Great day and I'm blessed to have such tough decisions to make.
