Sitting in the rain is not has bad as driving it at least all the mud and **** dont get up in the wheel wells and the rims sometimes stay clean

I watched in horror as the storms approached. All that work right down the drain. J/K I knew it was going to rain so I only did the inside, trunk, and started the engine bay.

You guys just keep cleaning . My car gets dropped off Wed. morning at the detailer . Wash , wax , motor compartment , shampoo carpet , remove wheels and clean rotors , interior , but most important goes up on the lift to wipe down the undercarriage .

Should be clean enough i think .

That's what was supposed to happen to mine. But the detailer decided at the last minute he didn't have time before he went on vacation and it was too late to get anyone else to do it.

Saturday is the big event I think judging starts at like 10 or 11 am so make sure u are there before that to get the car clean. Also everyone is in the show votes. but other than that not much to say. other than if u wait till saturday to register it will take a while so get there early. I will be going down friday to register and to meet up with the guys for the party at the hotel.

[Mikestang]

Detailers HA !

when you see my car let it be known that I do my own detailing polishing and cleaning -

-today I want to touch up the paint on the hats
- go over every sqare inch of the paint
- vacume the inside carpets dont need shampoo
- get the skinny kid next door to hop in the back of the car and do the back window

[JDraper]

Bah..I'm not gonna detail the undercarriage..Gotta drive it there plus the voting is all done by participant, not a panel and no one will most likely be crawling under the car anyways.....

Thanks for the info...now if it would just stop raining long enough for me to wash, clay bar, and wax the car i would be all set

Thats why i set mirrors on the undercarriage , and put the rear on ramps . Everyone sees , everything .
Gotta show her off , she deserves it . Just to sweet not too !

But if its raining you wont see anything , car and myself will be sitting in a local establishment with car on trailer and cover on .

Wish i had the time to detail , its cheaper to hire someone professsionally then to do it myself .

Not that I know I can trust. It's no big deal. It saved me over $100. The undercarriage is pretty clean. I wanted the calipers and inside of the rims cleaned more than anything.

I normally do to but I'm been out of town for the last 5 weeks during the week. I have to leave again tomorrow morning. Besides my car doesn't sleep all winter like yours does.

Mine has been known to go out for a run on a nice dry January day

anyone ever driven your mach 1 when there is no humidity and its 0 degrees out those motors LOVE that cold air

[greygod]

+1 No traction at all. I use it for experience. I'll slide the car around on purpose so I know how it's going to act when I'm not trying to do it.

[Mikestang]

Just got done compounding and polishing
i can now read news print in my paint

[Bill Hamilton]

Well, I'm hoping it will be raining on my 12-hour drive to Carlisle. That way there's a good chance most of the dirt and bugs will get washed off.

I flew into Harrisburg this past weekend and the weather was great, however the chances of two great weekends in a row in that area are pretty slim........

I've already programed my GPS for the Homewood Suites address and well be arriving Wed late afternoon. I plan on hitting CJ Ponyparts and the Antique Auto Museum in Hershey Thursday.:ORANGE:

Should have given me a shout. I live less than a mile from the airport.

To the guys coming west on the PA Turnpike, the new bridge by the Harrisburg east interchange is open for west bound traffic.

[HAEG]

Great, that's where the second bridge is being built, I believe. That will speed things up, but the PATPK is always under construction... Just like the NJTPK.

Went to the AACA Museum back in April. Very nice museum with some very nice cars. Well worth the time.
