Default Productive Saturday

I thought I'd share a few new pictures of my '04 Z06, as I'm quite proud of the work I've done on it in the past couple of weekends. I detailed the engine, wheels inside and out (calipers, brakes, wheel wells), interior, and undercarriage. It's as clean as it's ever been since I've owned it. Next weekend will be the final treatment, in the form of a polish/wax with an orbital buffer. But for now, it's time to drive it!













We also washed my girl's Jeep this afternoon, and even though it's not a Corvette, she's quite proud of it as well. Enjoy.

Thanks Jack. The windows are deceptive. They're actually not very dark at all, but photograph black for some reason.

Man that engine bay is CLEAN! I need to do the same to mine but I've never done that area before!

I was hoping to get the Vette and the DD cleaned up this weekend, but that may not happen... at least I got the garage cleaned up and removed the salt residue and junk on my floors from this recent winter! There's always next weekend I suppose.

looks good man... you wanna come do mine next?... waxing is not my favorite thing to do, actually I really don't like it at all because no matter how hard I try to keep it clean it immediately gets dirty again

Your vette looks awesome! Super clean! Thank you for sharing pics of your vette and g/f's jeep! Not to be critical....I would order a set of new mats from CCA with some clear protectors....will really set off your interior. Again.....your vette is super sharp and you did a killer job on the detail!

Great Job on the detail on the Z. I am jealous of the engine bay need to get mine that clean looking. That Jeep would put a smile on my face too to drive, it looks awesome as well. Good job on the detailing on both vehicles.

Thanks very much. You're right- a new set of mats is definitely in order. One of these days.

Looking good! Hard to beat a couple clean rides! Your wheels and engine bay look great!

I'm in the same boat on the floor mats.
