Default Some nice clean pics

I spent a couple of hours this morning cleaning my Z06 for the first time, so I took a bunch of pictures. I just bought a bunch of washing products from Adam's Polishes last week and I'm very pleased with how well they worked.








More in my Photobucket
I noticed there are a lot of little rocks wedged in the gap where the quarter panel meets the rocker panel. Must be a common problem, so I have to search for the recommended method of clearing those out. I didn't try hard to because I didn't want to scratch the paint up.

Great lookin' red Z (just like mine). Looks like a laser jammer on your rear plate. Does it work?

That little device over the plate looks strangely familiar

Thanks. The Passport system was installed by the previous owner and I bought the car from the dealer he traded it into, so I didn't get any info about it. I haven't had to test it, so I don't know if it really works. I do know that every time I floor it, the system starts making a s---load of noise. I've left it off until I figure out what it's doing (I know, not exactly a bright move). I've downloaded the manual and I'll go through it before I do anything else that's not entirely legal in the car.

I just ran out and got weatherstripping and I've already cleared the rocks out. I couldn't wait to clean that crap out. Wow, it collects a lot in there.
