Default Got Foam???
A sad day for me.

Since it was so nice today, I took a vacation day and went out for a nice long drive. When I came home I got the Z06 all washed up and then put it away for the winter (mainly just added some fuel stabilizer, checked the oil, tire pressure, put it on a battery tender and covered it up). Winter sucks.

I do highly recommend a foam cannon. Makes washing the car a breeze. Looks pretty good too all foamed up.

Put away already? I'm in MN and looking forward to another few weeks of driving! Those chilly 40-50 degree days are great...

Sorry to hear the bad news. Mine stays out all year. Would hate to live somewhere cold again.
I guess you have something to look forward to each spring.

So all you do is shoot it with foam, let it run off then rinse? Do you still need to wash it with a sponge?
