So.. Who got their babies all buffed up today! Many of us had a GREAT day for that. I spent about 5 hours out there, wash, wax, detail interior.. but it will all need to be done again prolly in a few weeks if it snows again, but looks great right now!!
Too bad I didn't havve time to take pictures before dark, and I have to drive into town tonight to an end of college year party..
No drunks in the back of my car getting sick!! TOO clean for that!! :P

Oooh Oooh, *raises hand*
I cleaned my baby today. I did the engine (which was all salty) I also cleaned the interior and took out my winter floor mats which was a big difference in itself... I was gonna take pics but the exterior was a lil dirty, I washed it yesterday and it didnt make it the day without getting dirty... ahh welll.. maybe next weekend. :D

i washed my baby today too. she's all sexy lookin' now:D didn't go all hardcore and polish and wax her though. i did that last week. she looks pretty good though. found some mequiar's tire gloss in the shed. very impressed w/ the results so far. i'll have to see how long it lasts.

Lets see...saturday I hand washed her, scrubbed the wheels, cleaned the interior first with Armor All cleaning wipes, then glossed her down with AA protectant wipes, wiped down the engine bay, then I parked it on the street. I came back to the car 2 hours later to see it was splattered with mud! :( Soooo, today I went through the automatic car wash (so I can get the underside sprayed too) used Race Glaze Detailing spray on the paint, cleaned the windows with Stoners Invisible glass (great stuff; I highly reccomend it.) and thats it! and I am sore... :lol:

Today was a beautiful day! It's too bad I spent most of it inside working on a law review paper...
My car is pretty clean now as it is(the joys of having a car in the garage and rarely using it). The car could use a waxing (was last waxed in July). Hopefully I'll have time to do it next week.
Next time I see my girlfriend, her 99' GT is getting a TOTAL detailing. It's going to take me a whole day probably, but it will be well worth it. :) Whoever owned the car before her let the finish go to hell. It's too bad, being a black car and all. If there's anyone that can bring it back to new, it's me :D
I'm starting to like her car more than my own.. :sad2: That's okay though.. I get to drive it all the time, so it's like having a second car. :P

I cleaned too. I wased and waxed a couple of days ago, but yesterday I steam cleaned the carpets and cleaned the interior. I had the a/c on too, because the regulators on both windows broke this winter, but it's getting nicer so hopefully I can get the new ones in soon;)

I pulled my baby out of the garage long enough to rinse her off and let her run for a bit. Unfortunately she wont be registered for another month :(
