I never get tired of seeing this car! I really like yur new wheels, Bill! But, please don't ever use outhouses as a background again! That's just nasty and demeaning to such a beautiful car!

Sorry Bill. I'm not buying what you're selling!

I can't believe your C5 has ever been dirty!

Yours looks great, it's hard to get white looking that shiny. I just spray waxed it after. I'm ordering a dual action polisher this week. So next week will be proper compound,polish,wax and unfortunately there is still more to clay .

Oh Sure, I'm sick and can't go, so you decide to not go off roading again. I have to be with him, for the cars to get dirty.
The dirty picture is probably when he took us out on the dirt roads before. It is an old picture.

Looks great Bill. But waxer isn't what I'd call you.
