Default Had Me A Norm Day Too.......
Just me there today, decided to treat myself to one of my days.

Club's going to do a birthday drive by tomorrow for a member' 93 year old dad, Corvette lover from way back. Thought I'd gussie up the Z a bit.

A few hours, bucket wipe down first, vacuumed interior, wiped down the interior, clean the windows.
Had it up on the lift, wiped out the barrels, brushed out the crap stuck to the inner wells, wiped down the wheels and calipers.
Then used the Aero Wash/Wax detail product for shine.

It was dirty, had to go back to my old neighborhood Thursday, that was a few hundred miles taking the back roads running into farmers kicking up tons of dust in their fields, running through a few irrigation sprays shooting across the road, when the water hits the car, turns the dust into into a mess on the surface, you know, normal driving dirtiness.

I do drive it, 53,000+ miles, it is no garage queen.

My IS-F needs a Norm day - it hasn't been washed since before the pandemic started.
