Default Just something about a clean car...

Well, I've only driven my 02 Z28 a few times in the past few months. I'd like to think it was because it was winter, but I think the real reason is that it was filthy and I've been lazy, lol. Well I got of my *** on Saturday and my brother helped me clean it really well. I finally shined up the chrome wheels again and I was amazed at how good it came out. Looked showroom fresh, and suddenly I was eager to drive it again! Took it out Saturday for a cruise and then a cruise night at a local BK. Then I drove it Sunday again and it just feels good to drive a clean car! I know you guys know what I'm talking about. Next I have to detail the interior a bit better and try to get the rubber off the rear fenders. Then I have to shine up the 94

O dude welcome to a clean car world. I have been called OCD on my car. I dust and clean it 90% of the time right after I drive it or right before I take it out. If you clean it as often as me you don't' ever really have to clean it throughly again. Its just really nice to have a clean car.

imo that's a little much, considering most waxes will last 2-3 months.

I hear that one. Spent the last TWO days doing the spring detail. Nothing like some music blasting, a couple of cold ones and making the car look sexy.
