Default Well, Bowling Green washing/detailing has begun..(PICS)

Since my car is going to be mostly all show and no go, tranny problems, I might as well get it as good as I can. Here is the start. Washed underside, and engine compartment.

Looks good!
How did you wash your engine bay?
Did you just use a bucket and a rag? or did you spray some degreaser on it?

Well today, its zaino, glass, and maybe interior.

Thanks for all the compliments.

Steve, I will be burnt out by the time I'm done with this one. But if you ever get into it, let me know, I'll come help.

That is one of the many winter projects I have planned this winter. Along with my C5 Corvette brake upgrade with Baer Rotors, bigger cam, fixed tranny, new clutch, new timing chain, oil pump, front and rear sway bars, electric water pump, and a whole lot of detailing and powder coating. Its going to be a long winter.

Taking a break today on detailing. Had to work most of today. Car is starting to come together though. Put in over 12 hours of car work this weekend. Its amazing how they get less and less perfect when you drive them. The lower rocker panels look like ****. Its going to take alot of clay bar and buffing to get them better. But that can happen this winter. Don't have the time now.
