"Hello", My name is Ol'55, and I am also an Adams Detail Products user.











Clyde's ride looks great Deb! I remember the last thread w/pics of the process that you posted (in proper bikini attire ) Now don't give it back to him until Saturday afternoon so he'll look spiffy @ Tony's.



And tell Barry to get those freakin' HP Hawks off the car (way too dusty! )

Deb, nice job.

I hate cleaning my own car, let alone someone else's.

The OCD waxer's in the C6 section would revoke Barry's Vette license if they ever saw the before photos. They tear people up just for driving in the rain.
