Default Spring Cleaning Part Deux>>>>

with the harsh weather and road conditions here in the northeast, its good to clean a car thoroughly if you want it to last. Since the TT will be 5 this year, and has almost 100k miles on it, my technique seems to be helping to maintain the "newness"..it's no trailer queen...next up, polish, wax and detail! ;-)

The neighbors are saying "what the F**k is he doing now!!!!!

Looking forward around the exhaust...will clean the middle section when the front goes in the air..

A better look of the right rear wheel, and suspension...

About an 1 and halfs worth of time....not much for the results..IMO...

Default I wish I knew how to do detail work like that. I need to learn how to clay and things.

My car could use a 100% workover.

Default That really is clean! I'm going to be giving mine a once-over before TTE

I just know it will look bad by the time I get there since it is around 900 miles each way. Gotta keep them clean though ;-)

My car is 4.5 years old now. Most people think it is new.
