It has rained a lot in DFW over the past month and I got caught in the rain twice in over the last several weeks. Typically I clean my car myself every couple of weeks but it was super dirty so I called my friend who’s a professional. And man I swear it looks and feels better than new. I took it out after he was done and just felt like I had a new car again. I wish I had the time/patience to clean my car the way he does. And of course I included pics because why not, we all love Vette’s here. Looked so good made me not want to ever get rid of it.

I had 3 black cars in a row years ago. I washed and polished them so often my dad told me I chose a "new career" when I chose to own a black car! But nothing shines like a well detailed black car, especially a Corvette! Nice!

Black sports cars just look the meanest to me. Every now and then I consider getting another color but as my screen name suggests, I always end up with something black on black on black.

Nothing looks better than a freshly detailed black car. Awesome.

Definitely! He started his travel detail business a while ago but this is only the second time I’ve ever used him. I will definitely continue to do so in the future when I’m feeling lazy lol.

NIce (like mine). Now ditch the chrome lug-nuts and get black valve-stem caps... at least!

Somehow I never noticed they were chrome before. Well I know what I’ll be doing this weekend.
