Default Cleaning day

The weather is bad in Baton Rouge area today and I was bored so I put the Vette on the lift to clean the inside of the wheels and the lower parts that get so nasty when you drive around.

It’s really nice to have a lift to clean under the car and do work on the car. I like having it very handy.

Nice garage and the lift is certainly a useful tool.

I just used some ceramic spray and some clean microfiber towels. I used brake cleaner on the inside of the wheels. I had used some Chemical Guys waterless car wash a few days ago so the car wasn’t too dirty.

The older I get the less I want to do in the shop. But as I said above it comes in handy for changing oil stuff like that.
