Old Silver's Summer Clean

Underbody:

A five-gallon bucket filled with Simple Green and hot water along with a spray wand and my air compressor. A long soak and thorough rise.

Body:

All rubber around windows, doors, hatch and hood liberally sprayed with heavy silicone.

Washed with Meguiar's Gold Class.

Meguiar's three-step Deep Crystal Stem:
Paint Cleaner on and off
Polish on and off
Wax on and wax off X 2

Glass Plus on exterior glass

Tire/wheels removed and thoroughly cleaned and dressed.

Interior vacuumed and vacuumed again.
Interior glass

Underhood (pic taken sometime ago but all remains the same).

Car shows, here we come!

Beautiful. You should bring it to the Fathers Day show at the sedgwick county zoo. I have a feeling I will be the only 3rd gen there.

Thank you. You're no doubt correct about being the only thirdgen in attendance—I know I usually am.
