Default All cleaned up!!!

I posted the other day pictures of my new '08 Atomic Orange Vette, but they were from my camera, also the previous owner didn't really keep it clean enough for me. So here are some pics I just took after washing and detailing today. Amazing amount of filth, but now looking good!

Atomic Orange just seems to go perfectly with Southwest type colors, especially sunsets in AZ. Beautiful car.
