Cool

Westley's "Bleche-Wite" tire cleaner.

I wet down with hose (no nozzle) before washing car, spray inside and let sit during car wash.

Last thing done after car wash - use conical brush to clean out and hose out residue.

Works fine for last two years with no after affects.

First tiem I did it I used wire brushes.

Cleaning the car is something I love to do. The car is not a daily driver which makes it easy to keep up. I do drive the car in the rain if there is a show to go to. I just wipe down everything under the car every couple weeks or after it gets wet from the rain.

All of the polishing I did myself. I took up the hobby after I paind $400 to have my Borla professionally done. I more than made back the money on my investment buying the equipment needed to do it alone.

Suprisingly Seattle has tons of show n shines going on during the summer. Most are geared for for older cars. I try to go to the shows which have newer catagories for late model cars also. I am most proud of my 1st place class win at the Super Chevy Show in 02'. Super Chevy Results I almost scored perfect for my engine compartment...(they stopped comming to Seattle the following years). Then last year I almost scored perfect with my car over all in the WorldWideCamaro Association All Chevy Show. I have about 13 1st place trophies/plaques that I am very proud of.

I really enjoy hanging out with car lovers at shows, and I can say I installed all of the mods on my car. People sometimes give me that look of disbelief. I respect everyones taste and having fun is most important.

I'll shut up now, thanks for asking. Todd

For those of us that are "normal" and only clean the inside of our tips about once a year ( ) I have found that bumper stripper works well. I will spray it once, let it sit for about 5min then spray it again and then hose it off. Repeat if needed, just remember to be careful around your paint.

Good hearing from you Tammy. Tell Dan congratulations for being voted president of the club.

My car never sits in the garage, yesterday I had a plow on the front of it clearing the snow off the streets!

I am looking forward to another fun year with the club, it is always a blast meeting up with you, Dan, and the other members at the shows. I will try to attend some meetings like I should. Is that how I was voted to clean all of the members cars, because I was not there to represent myself, lol.
