Default C6 pampering.........

awesome sunny day. roads are still trashed though so I had to be carefull... put 38 miles on the vette.. after the gym, came home and started fiddling with it... neighbor was outside and asked me why i was rubbing the hood with a zip lock baggie....LOL... I explained about air borne contaminantes and how to feel for them...then I clayed the hood... and put on a layer of polish.. then did the roof... checked the clock, got a beer...then did the tail end... even took some Zaino Fusion and rubbed out some tiny swirls that had decited to hitch hike to the vette...(im sure it was from calif. dusting.)... gone now though... polish the rear...

next thing i know, the warden comes out and say "you spent more time on that car today polishing and cleaning it than you did driving it.....



know what..? I did...

She's almost ready for spring now, going to clay the rest of the body and get another layer of Zaino on it... then..... hit the pavement harder!

damn I love this car...

Take it back to the Smithsonian. "The warden" is right...that's sad.

Peace, out.

PS:

It does look scrumptious.
