So a wash, all chrome polish, windows Rain X and Lucas Oul Slick Mist paint wipe down.

Ran out of time for the interior SMFh... too many drive by birthday parties and crap inside.

Yarn, tape, ribbons, old balloons, etc... mess and a hidden little good luck charm. See pic...

Wife had no idea. No fkn surprise.
But hey that last tank of fuel if only 1/2 way down so a good trade off right?

She looks better, but needs some wheel time over the summer. The Burb That is of course. Lol

That sux! BUT--They sell replacement covers for them, and they're not too bad to redo. You do need a mini stapler tho.

No damage my friends. ... drive by birthday parties , open sunroof and good luck charm bird missile from above on the center console.

That roof is so rarely open that I couldn’t believe it made it inside and not a speck of crap on the paint.

Just worth a mention cleaning today.

and the wife looked at me like I was the crazy one.... umm ok yep I didn’t notice bird shit by my arm.... buuu tokay lololo

Seagull poop, they have classes where they train and practice doing that through open moonroofs, t-tops and convertibles. When the seagull graduates, they then go to advanced dive bombing class and hit moving people. The big schools are in Fort Lauderdale and San Francisco.

Ok 100 page post....

woke up way too early at zero dark thirty .. so took advantage of no sun or needy family oh-daddy-you-are-working-on-your-truck lol

It happened a few hours later lol. Glad to be so loved.

Dammit @05Single Dave and his detailing making me have to up my game. Lol

Full vacuum and lifted the kick plates, but not much other than some sand. Interior wipe down. Wife and kids had f#%^* destroyed the interior since I have been away. Grrr

Then stepped it up and hit some spots in the carpet with the Folex spot remover. Always a winner. F88 APC on the floor liners to shift some of the grime.

NeverSatisfied (see what I did there) I pulled the ole Scrubbing Bubbles on the leather and vinyl trick to shift some of the kid dirt off the seats. Better. Might hit one more time to make sure.

Polished out the chrome... then in preparation for spinning up the Porter Cable, gave her a wash and clay bar.

Discarding all the wife’s crap in the center console I also pulled the cup holder and sure enough crumbs and well it need some love. Much better now. Wiped down the inside of the console, cleaned the crud with a toothbrush in and around the cup holders and kids and pulled the felt coin/catch all and washed it out with the hose.

Sooo much better. Then it rained but then she is still shining and worth the effort.

to be continued.....



oops not sure why it rotated but you get the point.
